Kim was born October 10, 1955, to Tom and Barbara (Modrow) Trana in Staples. He graduated from Staples High School in 1974. He worked as a manager for Staples High School sports programs after graduating. He then worked for his cousin, Mark Reger, making clocks.
Kim remained at his childhood home helping and taking care of his parents until their deaths in 2012. He was a gentle man with a very big heart. He enjoyed woodworking, making birdhouses, feeders, toy boxes, kitchen sets and decoys. Most of all, Kim loved his family, especially the little ones who called him “Uncle Kimmy”. Kim’s favorite time was getting together with his loved ones. His face would light up when anyone would visit.
