August 20, 1991 – February 20, 2022
Kimberly Alison Duff, 30, passed away suddenly on February 20, 2022 in West Columbia, Texas. Kimberly was born in Tucson, Arizona. She had the soul of a gypsy, a wild heart and the spirt of a cowgirl. She had a contagious smile and an energy that could brighten a room. She enjoyed photography and had an amazing ability through that photography to show the world the beautiful way she viewed things.
She is survived by her mother, Joy Duff-Sims (Craig Sims), father Greg Roy and her brother William Wilkinson; sisters, Kayla and Kristie Sims; grandmother Kathy Duff-Stewart, grandfather Al Duff (Kate); uncles Dylan (Karina), Curtis (Amanda) and Albert Duff; and many cousins and extended family.
Kimberly lived life to the fullest, always planning her next adventure.
A Celebration of Life will be held at date to be announced later.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate to a charity of your choice and find beauty in the little things in life.

I remember my dad giving her pie pans full of whip cream while Joy was on calls. Then Kimberly being wired afterwards and Joy yelling at my dad. I also remember her as an adult when she was working at the rock and going there for concerts and seeing her.. We went outside there and had a huge water balloon fight with her it was so fun. Loved her so much.
This kid had the most infectious smile! I can see her coming over to swim with you and William and she was always smiling. She could brighten any room she walked into. I’ll miss you kiddo, you’re gone way too soon. Rest In Peace sweet girl ❤️
So sorry for the loss of your baby girl Joy. I know how so very proud of her you have always been. My blessings and love to you and your family.
I have so many amazing memories with Kim , however one of the most memorable ones happened when she came to visit me in Washington. We took a drive up mount baker an pulled off the road to look at the river an while exploring she found an ice cold unopened Ranier beer ( which Greg would often refer to in his stories of time in Washington) an she proudly drank that ice cold beer with a smile on her face like no other ! I love you Kim!
We remember a happy little sprite who was so much like her mom. A lovely little girl who enjoyed horseback riding with her mom and Grandma. So sad for all of us that she is gone so soon.
Kim and Joy had alot in common and one that touched my family in a personal way . Joy saved my son physically, medically and Kim emotionally, compassionately. After our sons motorcycle accident Kim went over to his house and took the time to help him understand his TBI, and then came over to explain it to my husband and I in away we could understand . She was so compassionate and patient and free spirited and fun she had us laughing. Kim you will be miss but not forgotten 💔
May these sweet memories comfort you all during this time.
Kim shared my daughter’s birthday (different year though). And when Emma was born, Joy was there to help with the emergency c-section and care. Joy talked about Kim with such pride and happiness. Every year on August 20, I will think of Kim and how much joy she brought the world. Joy, I hope you find peace. I hope Kim is resting in peace.
The world lost a beautiful soul but left everyone with the most cherished memories. We will all miss her. 🖤
Our hearts are broken. Kimberly’s electric smile and eye for beauty (she gave us a calendar as a Christmas gift that included her photography) will be missed. She was such a free spirit, one who saw the world through the prism of an artist— seeing the fine details most of us would miss. She was both tough and fragile— an amalgam of iron and crystal, strong enough to take on challenges and fragile enough to do it with empathy and love. She walked to the beat of a different drummer, and we know that her free spirit still flies—and the beat goes on. Fly free, dear Kimberly, you will be missed.
I am so saddened by Kimberly's passing. She really was a gypsy soul and I loved watching her adventures. The world really lost a beautiful soul and heaven now is that much sweeter.
I am so sorry. I am thinking of you all.

Kimberly I will always remember your beautiful smile, you could light up any room. I will cherish all the memories that we share. You hold a very big piece of my heart. ❤️ Aunt Mary will miss you dearly and you will be missed by many. Kimberly I love you so very much.
My wife and I are really saddened to hear this news yesterday. Our time with Kimberly was short, but always memorable! She had a beautiful radiant smile and was always so much fun to be around, that we looked forward to it. . May she be at peace, jamming to all those great bands, and doing whips from cloud to cloud. ❤️
Kim was smart, funny, and kind. I miss her
