Obituary

Kim Kiwoong of Grand Rapids, aged 62, passed away on Tuesday, November 24th 2020. He was born to Hongryul and Jungsoon Kim on Dec 10 1958 in Bucheon, South Korea. Kiwoong Kim was proudly married to Kyunghee Kim for 35 years. Their love together brought two sons to this world, Euiseok, and Yongseok Kim. Kiwoong is survived by all three family members.

Kim Kiwoong (κΉ€κΈ°μ›…) was one of the greatest men of his generation. Like all great men, he embodied the attributes of honor, strength, perseverance, and faith. What separated him from others was his characteristic kindness and altruism. Kiwoong was always willing to put aside his own needs for others. No matter how small the request may have seemed or how impossible, he would always approach it with confidence and patience. It is easy to say "I can help you." or "I'll have your back." It's easy to support when the structure is already present. But to approach crisis when it befalls our neighbors in their most needed hour is when only a few would answer. Kiwoong was always the first of the few. Whether it was to stand by someone during their final moments, share comfort with the distraught, guiding the lost in the time of need, or even traveling days away to share a simple prayer, Kiwoong Kim was there in our most urgent hour.

Kiwoong Kim was also a scholar. During his precious few times to himself, he would study other languages such as Hebrew and French. He loved to research and learn about this vast world, so he can broaden his horizon and also teach us. Kiwoong's qualities represented what was best in all of us. A man who was given little, but built a world from it. A man who worked hard to bring comfort to all of us. A man who many times pulled us from utter despair into joy. A man who found light in the deepest of darkness. Let us remember him and emulate his character. Kiwoong's world involved each and every one of us finding true happiness, and sharing our merriment with others.

We have not lost Kiwoong to passing, however. On the contrary, we have given him a new life in our future actions, thoughts, and memories. No one is truly gone, so long as they have a home in our hearts. I implore you, my friends and family, to extend your homes to Kiwoong, and you will find that even now he still exists in all of us. Together as neighbors, let us show Kiwoong the fruits of his labors so he may rest easy and be at peace next to God, knowing that he had a helping hand in shaping who we are today.

Pastor Kim was a deeply caring man by sharing the love of Jesus Christ. Every time we were at Hahn-In CRC, he would make it a point to greet us and see how we were doing.
When we were at the hospital, he drove two hours to visit us and pray for our family. We were so touched that he would go so out of his way to support our family.
We are blessed to have known him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
God bless you,
Andrew and Joy Kim

Kiwoong was my friend and and colleague and I was very sad to hear about his death. I will miss him. My deepest sympathy to you, his wife and sons, whom he treasured. Even as you sorrow, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" (Rom. 15:13). Rev. Duane Nieuwsma

On behalf of the pastors of Grandville Classis in the CRCNA I want to send our deepest sympathy to the family of Kiwoong Kim. It was an honor to call him a colleague and a friend. The Bible verse that describes him best comes from Colossians 3:12 where we read, "Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." Kiwoong was dressed with these clothes of Christ on earth and today is clothed with the robe of righteousness in heaven earned for him by Jesus. May God bless you and keep you in his comfort and love. Rev. Kent Rottman, Regional Pastor of Grandville Classis.
