In Loving Memory of Bong Kim

1936 – 2025

A Life of Courage, Perseverance, and Love

Born and raised in South Korea, Bong Kim embodied the values of hard work, humility, and family devotion that defined his generation. In the late 1970s, Bong made the brave decision to immigrate to the United States - a journey fueled by hope and determination to create new opportunities for his family.

The transition was not easy. He faced unfamiliar language, culture, and challenges, but through quiet perseverance and an unwavering spirit, Bong built a life rooted in strength and purpose. His journey from Korea to America stands as a testament to his courage and the enduring belief that with hard work and faith, anything is possible.

Over the years, Bong thrived - not just in his career, but in the life he created for those around him. He was known for his kindness, his strong presence, and his smile. Whether he was offering advice, or simply sharing a meal with loved ones, Bong led with kindness and sincerity.

He cherished family above all else. To his children and grandchildren, he passed down not only his wisdom and values, but also the stories of his homeland and the resilience that carried him through life's challenges.

Bong's legacy is one of love, perseverance, and strength. His life reminds us that true success lies not in what we gain, but in what we give - in the love we share, the work we do with integrity, and the people whose lives we touch along the way.

Though he will be deeply missed, Bong's memory will continue to inspire all who knew him. His story - from his roots in South Korea to the life he built in the United States - is a lasting reminder of hope, determination, and the power of family.

May he rest in peace and may his legacy continue to shine through the generations he inspired.
