Kim Lim Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 30, 2024.
Kim Lim, a treasured soul known for his friendliness, generosity, and remarkable handiness, left this world at the age of 60 on
October 25, 2024, due to cardiac arrest. His departure occurred in Texas, far from his birthplace of Cambodia where he first began his journey on January 5, 1964.
Kim's warmth and dedication were the cornerstones of his life. His love for farm life was evident in the way he cultivated his garden. Employed as a mechanic at Carmax, Kim was known for his dexterity and the meticulous attention to detail that he brought to every vehicle he worked on. His colleagues at Carmax will remember him as much for his skilled hands as for his ability to brighten the workplace with his easy-going nature.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Kim's life was rich with passions and pursuits. His love for gardening was more than a hobby; it was a way of connecting with nature and imparting beauty to the surroundings he cherished. This same love extended to his family home, where he would often be found tinkering with household items, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Kim believed that a life surrounded by the things one has built and maintained is a life well-lived.
Speaking of building and maintaining, Kim's greatest creation was his family, a source of immense pride and joy. His beloved wife Tina Lim and their children Alex Lim, Allan Lim, and Angelina Lim were the center of his universe. Each of them carry forward the essence of Kim's spirit – his heartiness, his altruism, and his adeptness.
Kim Lim will be deeply missed for his amiable smile and the generous spirit with which he approached each day. The words "friendly," "generous," and "handy" are not just descriptors; they truly reflect the legacy he leaves behind.
Kim's life was not just about the years in his life, but the life in his years. As the sun sets on his time with us, we remember a man who built a life filled with love, laughter, and the satisfaction of a job well done. Rest in peace, Kim; your memory will continue to inspire us.
