He grew up in Taylor and attended school in Taylor and Snowflake. As a young man he liked to ride quads and bulls. He always had time to go fishing but rarely had time for his homework.

To escape the pressures of work, he loved to spend time in the outdoors, fishing and camping. Everyone who knew Kim knew him as a Jack-of-All-Trades. He used his many talents and abilities in construction to help his family and friends. He spent the last 25 years living in Queen Valley. He will be missed dearly. Kim is survived by his wife, Sharon; three children, Rusty, Wesley, and Mary; six grandchildren; his parents, Carol and Terry Holladay, a brother, Brett Rapier and a sister, Kelly Despain and lots of cousins.
