Young Kim's Funeral Expenses and Family Support

Donation protected

Dear friends, family, and community,

It is with heavy hearts that we are sharing the unexpected passing of Young Kim, age 52, a loving father, devoted husband, and a true selfless hero. Young's sudden and tragic passing has left us all deeply saddened, but his legacy of love, hard work, and kindness will forever remain in our hearts.

At the age of 52, Young Kim was a shining example of dedication and sacrifice. He tirelessly worked seven days a week, exceeding 70 hours per week, to provide for his beloved family. Young's relentless work ethic was driven by his unwavering love for his children: Noah (24), Jonah (22), Naomi (19), Josiah (18), and Selah (16) – his pride and joy, the center of his universe.

Although work consumed much of his waking hours, Young always made an effort to spend quality time with his family. He cherished every moment with them, creating lasting memories and nurturing a warm and loving home. Young's culinary talents brought joy to their lives as he delighted in preparing delicious meals for his loved ones. His humble abode was also a haven for his parents, who resided with his family, receiving his utmost care and devotion.

Young's dedication was further exemplified by his unwavering commitment to his eldest son, who bravely faces the challenges of cerebral palsy. Young's unconditional love and constant support were a pillar of strength for his son, inspiring us all with his compassion and resilience.

Beyond his family, Young touched the lives of many others, leaving an indelible mark of kindness and generosity. He possessed a rare ability to see the good in every situation, offering comfort, support, and a helping hand to anyone in need. Young's passion for magic brought smiles to countless faces as he shared his tricks, always seeking to uplift others and spread joy wherever he went.

We celebrate Young's life and honor his memory. In the wake of this tragic loss, we extend our support to his grieving family. The burden of funeral expenses and the challenges they face without his unwavering support are undoubtedly immense. That is why we have established this GoFundMe campaign, hoping to alleviate some of their financial burdens during this difficult time.

Your generous donations will go towards honoring Young's legacy and providing much-needed assistance to his beloved family. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and serve as a testament to the impact Young had on our lives.

In memory of Young Kim, let us unite as a community and show our support to a family that has lost a loving father, a true friend, and an irreplaceable source of strength. Together, we can honor his selfless spirit and ensure that his legacy lives on.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and generosity.
