Kim Joseph Rochon Sr.

1959 - 2020

Kim Joseph Rochon, Sr., age 60, entered into eternal rest on April 19, 2020. He was born on October 27, 1959 in New Orleans, LA to the late Ovide Rochon, Jr. and Una (Lion) Rochon. Kim was a loving and dedicated family man and friend. He was a lifelong resident of New Orleans growing up on "New Orleans Street" and graduating from McDonough 35 Senior High School, he went on to work at Bisso Towboat Company for nearly 20 yrs, FEMA, and later retired from PJs as a Warehouse Manager with numerous awards and certificates of recognition for his hard work, commitment, and diligence on the job. He was a master of many things and 'simply put' could tackle any project placed before him be it carpentry, painting, mechanical work, landscaping, or making the finest creole cuisine anyone has ever tasted. While Kim was skilled in many things, he made it clear what he truly treasured in this life, and that was His Bible, His Saints, and His beloved children, who were by his side throughout his illness, son Kim Joseph Rochon, Jr. (Jessica) and daughter Mallory Rochon Simmons (Lamont) - born from his union to Nanette Birdsall. He leaves behind his mother Una Rochon, sister Jenell Hassan (late Baker Hassan, III) and her children Amanda and Baker Hassan, IV, grandchildren Elijah, Sienna, Lamont, and Kaleb, and a team of family and friends. As we remember him, let us not forget his favorite scripture, Exodus 23:20, which reads, "I am sending my angels before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you." We will miss his earthly presence dearly, but take rest in knowing that his journey has ended, and he is safely in the arms of our Heavenly Father. Interment: Lake Lawn Park and Mausoleum in Metairie, La.
