Nick is survived by his wife Sarah Kim; his children, Otto Kim and Lewis Kim; and his sisters Ho Jung Kim, Min Jung Kim, and father Daeyoon Kim of Seoul, Korea. He was preceded in death by his mother Keum Sook Kim. As a child, Nick moved to the northeast United States with his mother and aunts where he picked up his devotion to all Boston sports teams (Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins and Celtics). Nick attended Virginia Tech University where he was in the Corps of Cadets and fraternity KDR. While in college, Nick sometimes worked at his aunt's restaurant in Northern, VA located down the street from where Sarah lived while she completed residency (Sarah and Nick have often wondered if they crossed paths here prior to their first meeting). Nick went on to graduate from Virginia Tech where he took with him the cherished friendships that remained a constant presence in his life. After college he was first stationed at Fairchild Air Force base in Spokane, Washington, it was here that Nick and Sarah crossed paths at an officer all-call - their lives quickly became joined. They eventually were stationed together in San Antonio, TX and they welcomed their first son, Otto. Nick embraced fatherhood assuming the role of primary caregiver all while completing his MBA. Nick and Sarah eventually relocated to Minnesota where they welcomed their second son Lewis. As a family of 4 they shared fond memories of camping in MN, visiting the North Shore, traveling around the US, a trip to London along with multiple trips to Korea to visit Nick's family. An extrovert by nature, Nick loved to host friends and family while ensuring everyone felt included. He loved cooking and was proud of his Korean heritage sharing it often through food. The sudden loss of Nick has left an indescribable hole in the lives of all who were lucky enough to know him. Friends and family will hold the memories they were able to make with Nick in their hearts as a testament to a life cut painfully too short while still well-lived. A memorial service is scheduled for February 24 at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church at 1pm. Nick's honorable service in the United States Air Force from 2010 - 2014 achieving the rank of Captain and award of Air Force Commendation Medal will be honored with his interment at Fort Snelling National Cemetery on February 27 at 10am, assembly lane #4. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Otto and Lewis's college funds. Ugift529.com: Otto code: 37J-256 Lewis code: A9G-797
