In his last days Kim spoke with great anticipation and obvious joy at the thought of being received by his daughter Keli Jean Babcock, whom he sensed was awaiting his embrace in his next life.

Since Keli's passing in 2015, cardinals began to appear as a symbol of comfort that the Babcocks believe were sent as a sign from Keli. Her way of touching them with peace. In her beloved Dad's last days, Lindsey asked him "How will I know?". He promised her with assuredness that she will know.

This we will always know, Kim lived a vivacious, full life that can be defined in many chapters. His family, his business, his friends, his service to others and is faith.

As a husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and cousin Kim will forever be known for his unwavering, unconditional commitment and love for his family. He was the reunion planner, grill master, firework lighter and tunes player.

Kim began building his company, Tomoka Construction in 2001. He and his partner Gary White opened their doors with two shovels and a pickup truck. Today Tomoka Construction is a successful site contracting company that traded their pickup trucks and shovels for bulldozers and dump trucks.

Equally important to Kims full and vivacious life are the friends that he collected in the 62 years of living in volusia county. These many friends who join Kim in some of his most playful moments - long bike rides, breakfast pit stops on the beach, softball tournaments, and keeping fit at CrossFit.

Kim's service to the community where he lived his entire life can be seen in the way he embraced Raising money for cancer research in his last days. And unseen in his simple yet continuous acts of kindness- supporting youth sports teams, feeding families in need and befriending a special group of ladies at a Road side vegetable stand.
