Kimball "Kim" Martin, age 69 of Oconomowoc, passed away peacefully on April 24, 2019 in his home surrounded by loving family and friends. He leaves behind his loving wife of 42 years, Colleen, his children Alison Martin of East Windsor, CT, Abbey (Jake) Blunck and Ryan Martin of Oconomowoc. Kim is further survived by his adoring grand-children Alexandria Church and Weston and Bryant Blunck, sister Donna Casarella and brother Kurt (Nancy) Martin and brothers-in-law Timothy Conley and Keith Warnock along with many other relatives and close friends. Kim was preceded in death by his parents Wendell and Clara Martin, sisters Sharon Warnock and Laurie Milotte and his brother Rauni Martin. Kim was born in a one room hospital in Hardwick, Vermont. He later moved to Enfield, CT and was known locally as a talented actor with a bright future. Although Kim never pursued a career in acting, he did live a life filled with amazing achievements which included serving in the Air Force, becoming successful in manufacturing including owning his own business and becoming Director of Operations at Master Lock all without ever earning a bachelors. Eventually, Kim graduated from Northwestern's Kellogg school of Management where he earned an MBA. Kim was then promoted to Executive of Fortune Brands and retired, at an early age, to his own consulting firm. Kim was highly intelligent, motivated, caring, compassionate, and quick-witted. He enjoyed golfing, singing, playing guitar, his Harley, his grandchildren, his family, time with friends, and most importantly the Red Sox and Patriots. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him and will be remembered for the kindness and generosity he brought to everyone who was lucky enough to be a part of his gifted life. A celebration of Kim’s life will be held Saturday, May 4, 2019 at 1:00 pm with a visitation for family and friends starting at 10 am all to be held at Pagenkopf Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Glenview Memorial Gardens in Ixonia.
