Kim was super intelligent and a very quick wit. He was also a talented artist. After graduating from Toronto High School in Ohio, he attended the Art Institute of Pittsburg. He created computer art and generated moving logos for various Columbus, Ohio companies. Kim worked as an engineer at WCMH (Channel 4) in Columbus for over forty years. He was proud and dedicated to his work there.

Kim was a genuine computer geek! Programming and graphic design were his passions. He taught graphic design classes at Columbus State.

Since his youth, Kim was a huge fan of Superman. He even had a dog named Krypto! He was known to his friends for his humor and intelligence.

Kim loved his family and friends as they loved him back. Quite often, he and his mother had almost a telepathic mode of communication.

Kim had one great love of his life but they never married.

He will be missed by many. RIP Kim Bwanna/Kimbo!
