Captain Kim Morrison Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Captain Kim Morrison Kimberley Brooke Morrison, 74, passed away peacefully at home in Lake Worth, Florida on April 3, 2022 surrounded by family. Born November 6, 1947 in Bolivar, New York, Capt. Kim attended Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University before realizing his calling to the ocean. He was no stranger to the water, having spent summers as a youth on the New Jersey seashore. Working first as a mate to support his wife and son, young Kim soon acquired his captain’s license and began operating his own charter boat, The Bacardi, for several years before running night charters on the Big Ben. He spent the next 21 years as captain of a private sportfishing boat, The Three R’s. Kim owned several boats throughout his career which allowed him to offer charters, sport fish, commercial fish, and recreational fish as he desired on both the Atlantic ocean and Intracoastal Waterways. Kim was well known in his industry, and his prowess as a captain, guide, and fisherman allowed him to do what he loved every working day of his life. He was an expert at teaching “newbies” to fish, masterful at telling nearly unbelievable fish tales, and delighted to give anyone who would stand around and listen a good-natured hard time. Put simply, Capt. Kim was both a class act and a character. He watched the sunrise over the Gold Coast waters for more than 50 years and would say, “I’ve lived in Heaven.” Capt. Kim (a.k.a. Pop to his grandchildren) will be forever missed and lovingly remembered by his beloved wife, Kathleen Culbert, his doting children; son Todd (Michelle) Morrison, daughter Kimberley (Art) Mowery, daughter Carolyn Seal (Doug Konz), and his grandchildren; Sara (Stephen), Audra (Josh), Madelyn, Morgan (JR), Sebastian, Jake, Emily, and Ashley. Kim is survived by siblings Phil Morrison, Gale Glenn, S. Brooke Megrue, Scott Morrison, Lynne Jensen, and Debbie Corliss. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dr. Phillips Lovering and Sarabelle Brooke Morrison, and sisters, Sondi Bostic and Christine Cookson. Capt. Kim will take his last sunrise trip out of the inlet to be buried at sea on Saturday, April 16, 2022. Family and friends are welcome to attend and wish him “fair winds and following seas” from Lantana Beach. A celebration of life will be held beginning at 11 a.m. at The Hive Waterfront Restaurant located at 2412 Floral Rd, Lantana, FL 33462.
