Kim K. Guidi, 50, of Niles Avenue, Mishawaka, Ind., passed unexpectedly Friday, May 14, 2004, in Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center, Mishawaka.

Kim was born on April 11, 1954, in Mishawaka, as the son of Robert A. and Catherine (Gartner) Guidi.

On November 2, 1985, in St. Stanislaus Catholic Church, South Bend, Ind., he married the former Cheryl Milewski, who survives along with their three precious children two sons, Julio J. Guidi and Antonio R. Guidi; and one daughter, Attea C. Guidi, all at home.

Kim is also survived by his parents, Catherine (Garnter) Guidi of Mishawaka; his father, Robert A. Guidi and his wife, Diane of Brainerd, Minn.; one sister, Attea (Brett) Jones of Muskegon, Mich., his mother and father-in-law, Joseph and Dolores (Labis) Milewski of South Bend; one brother-in-law, Douglas Milewski of South Bend; and two sisters-in-law, Kathy (Butch) Csenar and Patty (Drew) Holston, both of South Bend. He is also survived by aunts, Margaret M. Miller of Albion, Ind., Dorothy "Dot" Guidi of Mishawaka, Lillian (Cecil) Perry of South Bend and Mary Jo Acrey of Mishawaka. Kim's nieces and nephews, Aaron, Alexander, Andrew Jones, Erin Lawson and her son, Jazek, Clint Milewski, Joseph, Adam, Matthew, Alex and Austin Csenar, and Sara and Jacob Holston.

Kim was a video production Technician for WSBT-TV in South Bend, for the last two years. Before that time he had worked at KEPR-TV in Pasco, Wash., also as a video production Technician. Kim traveled all over the world and made good friends! Kim's smile, his joy of life and love and sense of humor, will be missed by his family and friends. His joy of coaching Little League Baseball and Children's Soccer was just one of the many ways he showed his care and love for children. He acquired this from his special bond with his grandfather, Julio Guidi, who preceded him in death
