Kim Edward Bigler (70) passed away suddenly the morning of November 29th, 2024 in his home after a short and intense battle with illness.

Kim was born October 2nd 1954 to Karl Bigler and Shirley Bigler in Steubenville, OH.

As a boy, Kim took to playing football for the Jewett-Scio Vikings, trumpet in the marching band, hanging out with his brothers throughout the downtown area, and cruising in his muscle cars around the hills of the Ohio valley. His love of cars continued into his later years where he would take his prized 1999 Chevy "Big Red" to car shows.

He married the love of his life Carolyn Crall in 1977 and in 1982 they had a baby girl, Cassandra "Casey", all while working at the Wheeling-Pittsburgh (R.G.) Steel Mill with his dad and brother Greg.

Kim was an avid collector, whether it be guns, knives, toys, marbles, walking sticks, and even musical instruments, his buying and selling was such a significant part of his life that he referred to himself as "Mr. Haney" of Green Acres fame.

A kind and generous man, Kim was no stranger to anyone and no one was a stranger to him. If you were in ear shot he would tell you stories about his childhood, his friends and family, his favorite movies, his latest find at the local second-hand store, and most of all: Jesus.

A member of Harbor of Hope St. Clairsville, when the church doors were open, Kim was there, and he spent the rest of his time visiting with the ill, testifying to those who were lost, praying for everyone who would let him, and garnering strength from his daily readings of the Bible. Kim wrote poems about his savior that he kept in his journal and prayed for travelling mercies at the end of every family gathering.

Kim will be dearly missed by his family, both biological and heavenly, and friends, of which he had countless. He is survived by his loving wife Carolyn, his daughter Casey (Jonathan), his brothers Greg, and Jeff, and his sister Kathy (David).

Kim was preceded in death by his father Karl and his mother Shirley.

"Like the man said, 'For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life'".

Per Kim's wishes there will be no service.
