Suelynn and family:
Kim and Suelynn were always so nice to me. They grew to be close friends that I could count on and helped me on more than one occasion. They never
asked for anything in return. I will miss Kim’s friendship but I know he is home with the Lord and free of pain! I pray Suelynn you find solace in knowing that he is out of pain and walking with Jesus. I love you and I’m praying God gives you strength in the days ahead.
Kim will be missed. Prayers for his family.
Kim was a very special man he loved god and he had a huge heart.
SueLynn, Tracy and family. My heart goes out to all of you. May Father God give you strength and peace.
Kim was such a gentle and kind man. I know without a doubt he is in the presence of our Lord Jesus. God bless all of you.
Thank you for all the love you shared, we love you
You were the best dad! You were always there for mom & I and so many others. You taught me so many things and always stood by me, I’m thankful for your time here on earth with us, but it was too short. I love you and miss you so much! ❤️
Kim will always be remembered as a kind man that loved his Lord and his family
He was loved by many and will be missed here on earth. We will all meet again so says the Lord.
Rest in piece
I will always remember how much Kim loved our Lord and his church family. When pain was so bad that he could n't put on shoes he would come to church barefooted and always had a smile and a hug for everyone. Kim will truly be missed on Sunday morning worships by his brother's and sister 's in Christ. Love you Kim!💕 Suelynn and Tracy, I am so thankful that you have the comfort of knowing that Kim's pain is over, and his life has really just begun and you will join him to live for all eternity with our heavenly Father in His timing. Thank You God! 🙌 💕
We bought the house in Okeechobee and every time I come across little adjustments that Kim made in the house, that work like a charm. I am thankful that he made them that way. Our family felt a kinship right away when we met him and our lives are richer for have met him.
Thinking of you Suelynn and Tracy.
Our hearts are heavy with the lost of our brother, Kim. We love his wife, Suelynn and daughter, Tracy. We promised Kim we would take care of his wife and daughter. We’ll do our best. Love from brother Doug and his wife Valerie.
Our hearts are heavy as we grieve the loss of our dear friend, Kim Richardson. He was a special man who was strong in his faith and you would never find a more faithful friend. Over the years, he was the kind of guy you could count on and he was always there to support his church family and especially his Pastor and family. He and Suelynn became some of the dearest friends that Pastor Dave and I ever had in our ministry and our personal lives. We will miss him dearly and we will remember his daughter, Tracy and our dear Suelynn in our prayers as we know they have suffered a terrible loss, but we also will rejoice with them one day, when we see Kim in heaven with Jesus as he is waiting there to greet us when we too, will pass into that heavenly home.
