Kim was an inspiration, so was also his incredible father Fran who stood by him his entire life. I’m not particular religous, however I recognise what I call an Angel as I’m presented to one. I wish him peace and joy as he travels among us a little bit further in life.

So sorry for your loss Fran. You and your son both inspired me deeply!

I came to the blog in hope to see some holiday wishes and got this. Such a tragic lost. Requiescat in pace.

It’s so sad that he was only 58. I feel for his father. An incredible and unique individual. x

I was so shocked to hear this sad news. He was a kind and gentle soul and the world is a less interesting place without him. May he rest in peace.

Just such an amazing person. To have the brain-capacity to be able to do all what he did despite his handicaps is unbelievable. I can’t begin to understand how he did what he did.
So sad to hear he’s died.

Oh No, I remember watching a recent documentary about him and his father. That’s sad!
