I was a student of Kim Cavanaugh's at Congress Middle School. I took one of his web design classes and thought to Google him tonight, hoping to thank him for the impact he had on my future. I now run my own online game website I designed, much because his class lead me to find this passion. Lovely man and it seems he impacted many.

I can remember so many times that Kim was able to bail me out of problems with Gradequick in the early years. A wonderful resource in so many ways! He was such an amazing man, and he will be sorely missed by everyone in our school district. Heartfelt sympathy and condolences to his family.

Ken trained me this year in Adobe Spark. Just last week I taught my students how to create beautiful presentations with spark and I thought of Ken. I was so sad to read soon after of his passing. I am thankful for his passion for education and his knowledge that will continue to permeate through Palm Beach County Schools. May God bless your family and be near as you grieve and celebrate his life.

Kim was a member of my team at Congress Middle School. His love for technology lead him to work at the distric level enlghtening teachers with his love of technology use in the classroom and beyond. He will often be remembered for his passion and love of teaching life long learners.
My prayers and thoughts will be with you and your family today and many more to come.

Although my contact with Mr. Cavanaugh was brief during a two-day workshop I knew I was in the presence of district royalty. He left a hugh impact upon me and I never forgot him. My greatest and sincerest sympathies are extended to you, his family. May Kim's love, Gods love, and the love of family and friends keep you lifted up during this time of grief.
