Life story

Before Kimberly was born, it was spoken over her that she would be a child of joy.

In her 17 short years she spread joy and love to all that knew her.

She was an awesome daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend.

She loved Jesus and radiated his love to all.

She was born in King City, California and grew up in Cayucos.

She graduated Cayucos Elementary School and she was finishing her junior year at Coast Union High School at the time of her passing.

She loved sports and was a member of her high school volleyball and softball

teams.

Kimberly was a very compassionate and loving young lady.

She enjoyed family life with her four sisters and especially liked helping take care of her baby sister. She enjoyed photography, art, surfing, skateboarding and listening to music.

One thing that brought her a lot of pleasure was driving her 1965 Mercedes which she bought with her own money earned by babysitting and working at the Beach Walker Inn.

Kimberly was active in the youth group of Cayucos Community Church, and had a deep love of God.

She is deeply missed, but we look forward to being together again with her one day in heaven. ♥️

Remembering Kim

She was the first person I met when I moved to the coast from the valley. Hand picked from the Lebbad’s to welcome me to town at 15 years old. I was only in school with her for her junior year but she was so naturally cool. Everyone loved her and crushed on her. I saw her that morning. She stood out like never before. I was riding the bus into the school parking lot and she was the last thing I saw out the window walking through the parking lot with an enormous amount of sun light surrounding her. I was sure it was the light of God after hearing the news at school. It stuck with me. It was the last time I saw her. But not the last time I thought of her. She made an impact.
