On September 1, 2025, Brett Andrew Kim of Carroll, Ohio, went home to be with the Lord at just 51 years old. Brett was a man who lived with purpose—he loved God, his family, and his community with his whole heart. He was a devoted husband to Erica and a proud dad to AnDrew, Jacob, Mason, and Emily. Whether cheering from the sidelines, sharing a backyard game, or serving on a mission trip, Brett poured himself fully into the people he loved. To know the Kim family is to know love, grace, and the hearts of those who give. To know this family is to be embraced by the hands and feet of Jesus and loved just as you are.

His passing was sudden and heartbreaking, leaving his family to navigate not only the deep grief of losing him, but also the immediate financial challenges that come with such a loss. Brett worked hard to provide for his family in every way, and now it is our turn to surround them with the same love and support he so freely gave to others.

This fundraiser has been created to help ease the financial burdens facing Erica and the kids in the days and weeks ahead. Your donation will go directly toward covering urgent expenses and giving the family space to grieve without added stress.

Erica has also asked for donations to the Kim Kid's Education fund, which has been set up thru 5/3 bank. Your donations here can be marked as such and will be transferred to that account.

If you are able, please consider giving and sharing this page. Every gift, big or small, will make a difference and show the Kim family that their community is here to lift them up during this incredibly difficult time.
