Cecil Kimble Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born on January 2, 1941 in Brushy Run, West Virginia, Cecil lived a life marked by dedication to his craft, deep family ties, and a profound love for the outdoors.
A proud graduate of Franklin High School's Class of 1959, Cecil went on to build a distinguished career as a Master Electrician, a member of IBEW Local in Richmond, VA. His work as a lineman took him across Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, where he played a vital role in bringing power to countless communities. In addition to his electrical expertise, he was also a highly decorated welder – skills that earned him respect among peers and colleagues alike.
Cecil's life was grounded in faith and family. A devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he found strength and purpose through his spiritual community. He was Scout Master and coached little league for several years.
He shared more than six decades of marriage with his beloved wife, Sharron Kimble.
Together they raised three children:
Cecil Kimble Jr. (Donna)
Tressela Kimble
Joshua Kimble (Jen)
His legacy continues through his 11 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
He is also remembered by his brother, Dwight Kimble.
Cecil was preceded in death by his parents, Kermit and Donna Kimble; sisters, Shirley Hartman and Linda Moyers; and granddaughter, Emma Bateson.
Outside of work and family life, Cecil was an avid outdoorsman who felt most at home in the woods. He found joy and peace in hunting and fishing – pastimes that reflected his deep connection to nature and the land he loved.
His life was one of hard work, quiet strength, and enduring love for those around him. May his memory bring comfort to all who knew him.
The family will receive friends from 2:00 - 3:00 PM Sunday, October 12 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 94 Center Way, Petersburg, and a funeral service will follow at 3:00 PM with Elder Stephen Kimble and Pastor Tommy George officiating.
Interment will be at Cherry Hill Cemetery in Upper Tract.
