Kim Coker

My families thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. It was a pleasure to know and work with Kim while he was at OFC.

Lisa & Makenzie, Kim was the strongest man I have ever met; he taught me daily. I will never forget his kindness to me as a boss & as a friend. I have many sweet memories of a man I admired. May God surround you & Makenzie at this time.

It was a privilege to meet and work with Kim starting 3 years ago. I admired his leadership of personnel in Texas and the way he calmly approached the many decisions that needed to be addressed. My condolences go out to all family and friends.

My family and I am pray for strength and also for send our our condolences.

From the nursery at the Methodist Church through high school, I had the pleasure to have Kim as my best friend while growing up in Turkey. Although Kim experienced the bumps and bruises many young farm boys face (mini bike wrecks, pellet gun shot in the foot—that my dad removed with a knife), he was positive and a joy to be around.

Kim was at our house or I was at the Coker’s almost every week. I loved to go to Ann’s to eat charcoal grill cooked meals! Kim and I often ventured to the neighboring grass pastures and made ‘hideouts’. We also vacationed together and ventured into the wilderness and enjoyed hours of fishing at Cowles, NM.

Kim was more athletic than I was. He excelled at Tennis and Basketball and was very tough in football. I recall the time the coach sent him into the middle of a game as quarterback (with no practice) and Kim was so excited, he called the signals in the huddle with his teeth guard in his mouth. No one knew the plays for that entire series.

We sometimes worked together on each other’s farms. Frequently, Kim would stop by our barns on the way to their field at Wool Flat. He would join in whatever chores Scott and I happened to be engaged in without complaint. More often than not, if we met each other driving down the road, we would stop and discuss whatever we happened to be doing at the time.

In high school, we enjoyed shooting rabbits and coyotes from his Jeep while jumping terraces in pastures.

Lisa and Makenzie, although Kim and I were not close in recent years, and our families have been separated by many miles, Virginia and I share in your great loss and lift you up in prayer. Brenda and Linda, I know you will miss your brother.

Kim was a person of integrity—even in his childhood and youth. I am reminded of Jesus’ command to let your yes be yes and your no be no (Mt. 5:37). That is Kim’s legacy.

Kim was a man of great character and a friend to all that knew him. He will remain an inspiration to everyone in how to live life to the fullest. He will be missed by all!

To Mr. Coker's Family,
I read Mr. Coker's obituary in the paper from Monroe, La. I never met Mr. Coker, but thought he might be related to friends named Coker in Baytown, Texas and shared his obit with my friend. My friend and I shared thoughts of what an interesting, upstanding, and dedicated man he was. I wish you could have enjoyed more time with him. I am sorry he passed away at such a young age. May God bless and keep you all and watch over your family in the days and years to come.
With Sympathy,
Judy W Poole

Dear Family of Kim Coker:

I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Kim over a period of several years. I worked for the Arcadian Corporation and was active in the National Fertilizer Solutions Association. Kim was one of the finest men that I have ever known. He will be missed by all who knew him.
