Justin Chad Kimball Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Justin Chad Kimball left this world far too early on February 20, 2018, at the age of 39. He was born to John and Rita (Bell) Kimball on September 2, 1978, in Medicine Lodge, Kansas. He graduated from Medicine Lodge High School in 1998. He briefly attended Hutchinson Community College to study drafting and design. Justin married Jennifer Dyke in 1998. They were blessed with two sons, Trevor and Bryce, and later divorced. Justin worked as a parts specialist for Straub International in Wichita. Prior to that, he worked at AGCO Corporation in Hesston. In his younger years, he spent each summer helping his family custom cut wheat, and he owned a very successful lawn-mowing venture. Justin loved landscaping and creating elaborate displays. While in junior high, he was featured as one of Larry Hatteberg’s People for his 50,000+ impressive Christmas light display. It was affectionately named “Kandy Kane Lane,” and provided enjoyment to the entire community for many years. Most of all, Justin treasured living life to the fullest. Camping in the mountains, riding four wheelers and his motorcycle, and vacationing to many destinations were all cherished times with loved ones, particularly his son, Bryce. Justin had a lifelong affinity for collecting keepsakes, beginning with Garfield the cat and evolving into bears, moose, and other memorabilia. He loved animals, especially his bulldogs Trixie and Maggie. Justin’s smile was infectious and his laugh unforgettable. He was a kind and gentle soul, willing to lend a helping hand and share a funny story to all. He was incapable of fibbing without his signature tell of a slight giggle and crinkly eyes. Everyone he met was considered a friend in parting, and he was loved deeply by those whose lives he touched. Justin was preceded in death by his mother; his son, Trevor; and his brother, Michael. He is survived by his father; his son, Bryce (York, NE); his brother, Douglas Kimball (Goodyear, AZ); his sister, Anita Scheve and her husband, Shane (Hays); and his sister, Fonda Koehn, and her husband, Doug (Colorado Springs, CO); his beloved nieces and nephews-Wyatt Scheve, Ethan Koehn, Danica Scheve, Grayce Koehn, Ty Scheve, and Delaney Scheve; a great aunt, Ella Bell; special friends Lori Stearns, Jeff Goemann, and Dustin Skolaut; and numerous other friends and family. A celebration of Justin’s life will be held on Saturday, February 24, 2018, at 10:30 a.m. at the First Christian Church of Medicine Lodge, KS. Memorials may be made to the Bryce Kimball Education Fund in care of Larrison Funeral Home, 120 E. Lincoln, Medicine Lodge, KS 67104. Online condolences may be made at www.larrisonmortuary.com
