I was very fortunate to meet the Hackbarth’s when Scott & Kim moved to SD where we were neighbors. I have so many wonderful memories of Kim.

At our 1st Walden neighborhood Halloween party, Kim dressed in a Karate outfit with a sword. Just like a scene from SNL’s John Belushi samurai warrior skit, she enthusiastically used the sword to cut the sheet cake. You could hear the gasps from everyone. Kim was so funny & so fun to be around. We quickly became friends & played on a co-ed softball team named the Walden Whackers. Our team went from worst to first. Scott played centerfield & was appropriately nicknamed “Wheels” since he was our best player. Kim, well she was into fashion. Her signature outfit consisted of khaki shorts, a white tank top & white tennis shoes. Kim had an artistic flair & a creative streak which was manifested in her start up entrepreneurial venture named Sparkle & Bows. She hand painted embellishments on white tennis shoes so she could sell them at Nordstrom.

Our adventures consisted of family trips, GF trips & going to concerts.

There was a family trip to rent houseboats in Lake Mead with the Hackbarths, the Dunlevys, the Gallegos, & the Riches. Kristen & at the time baby Kyle were also there.

San Francisco GF trip with Chris Gallego, Cindy Dunlevy, Kim & me. Upon our arrival at the airport, we were delighted to see thoughtful Kim greeting us with HUGE cups of Rum & Coke. We shopped at Tiffany’s in downtown SF & bought matching bracelets.

Travels to Amsterdam & Paris with Kim, Cindy & Ali.

Concerts: John Mayer & Maroon 5 at the Gorge with Kim, Cindy, & Mark Stevens. When she came to SD; Kim, Cindy & I would go see The Rolling Stones, Jimmy Buffet & Bob Dylan.

The last time I saw Kim was when we had lunch with Cindy, Marina (my son’s GF) in SD. Kim was always very generous & graciously paid for our meal. We talked about seeing the Eagles in Las Vegas. 

I loved her & will miss my dear friend. Until we meet again…

We are saddened beyond belief at the news of Kim's passing.  We have very fond memories of her huge smile and beautiful personality.  Our prayers and sincere condolences to Scott, Kyle, the entire family and all her friends.

I cannot find a photo, but I do have a million memories. Kim was a total blast, great Mom and a good friend! Marti and I couldn’t have had better friends than Kim and Scott. The “Not Everything Is A Party Kim, Why Not?” quote personifies Kims approach to life. Ya got to love that. 

The World will be a lesser place without her.

Our Sincerest Condolences, positive thoughts and prayers to the family.

All our love, The McCurdy’s
