Kim Collins Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by J. Warren Funeral Services Cole & Maud The Gardens Chapel on Jan. 7, 2025.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Kim Collins who left us on January 3, 2025. 

He was a devoted husband, a loving father and an exceptional member of his community who will be deeply missed by all who knew him. 

A memorial service will be held for Kim on Wednesday, January 15, 2025 at 2:00pm at J. Warren Funeral Home at 525 North Peart Road in Casa Grande. 

Kim was born on December 10, 1954 in Coldwater, Michigan where he spent his formative years. He went on to attend Western Michigan University and later became a Chief Financial Officer at hospitals and health care centers in Illinois and Arizona. 

 In 2007 Kim joined Sun Life Family Health Centers as their Chief Operations officer where he worked until his retirement in 2019. Throughout his time at Sun Life, he was known for his hard work, dedication and passion for helping others. But more than anything, Kim was a devoted father. He was always there to offer guidance, support and encouragement no matter what challenges they faced. Kim is survived by loving wife Diane, his children Jessica, Sean, and Bryan and grand children Vincent, Victoria, Collin, Brandon, Brittany and Corbin. Kim was especially close with his siblings Larry, Rob and Paula and his brothers-in- law Ron and Michael Bouchard and sisters-in-law Susan Pilaroscia and Kerin Kelly. 

Though Kim has been taken away from us too soon his beautiful spirit will live forever on in memories we cherish and the love we shared.
