IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Kim N.
Crosby, Jr.
July 10, 1986 – July 13, 2018
Kim Nelson Crosby Jr. was born on July 10, 1986 to Carletta Wright and the late
Kim Crosby Sr. His mother always called him her King. He was the Greedy to her
Munchy, Geedy, and Greedy (her 3 oldest children). Kim and his late father Sr. had
a wonderful bond. He was a spitting image of his dad. As a baby Kim was very
inquisitive. He would be observed bending his head and sticking his nose in
everybody's business. He spent much of the time on the hips of his sister Takira
and arms of his sister Rock. His sisters noticed his nurturing ways when he was just
a child walking around with doll babies and strollers. Kim's sense of humor budded
at a very early age and followed him throughout his life. He was a hilarious child
who spent many opportunities making people laugh and being the "life of the party".
Growing up on Biddle St, Kim enjoyed mischievous activities with his brothers
David & Deandre such as throwing rocks from rooftops, smashing pennies to
make them as big as quarters in efforts to play the video games at Lucky's. He
also had fun tricking the penny machine at Mr. Martin's and piling mattresses up
outside to flip with his brothers and friends.
Kim was always known for his kind heart and generous ways. He would bring the
stray dog's home and sometimes had a hard time getting rid of them. Old Man
Sam and Diogi happened to be two of the lucky ones that would stay with him
for a while.
Kim also spent a great deal of his childhood at his Godmother Janice's house
with her children Keisha, Quetta and Michael. It was in their neighborhood that
he met Bleu, CeeCee, Snap, Fobe and many other friends. They called themselves
the GMR boys. During this time, he discovered his rapping talents and knew he was
the next up and coming artist. So, his daughter Shaniyah, gets it honest.
Don't let his joy of rapping fool you though. As a child, Kim also enjoyed singing
on the choir. His mom and sister (Rock) always referred to him as Bishop Nelson
Crosby. In return, Kim gave his mother Carletta his very own nickname for her and
named her Rabb. It was around this time that he grew a bond with his father Mark.
It's a wonder Mark's parts still work after the kick Kim gave him one day after a
mini miscommunication.
Kim welcomed his first child into the world on February 22, 2002. He was only 15 but
gave his daughter Breasia all of the love and attention that he could. He enjoyed being
a dad, At the age of 17, Kim married Latoya. Together they parented four of his children
(Mykim, Myasia, Kim III, and Trinity). Kim spent a lot of his time with his children.
Even at his young age, he devoted his love and time to making them happy. In fact,
he and Shaee could always be co nted on to have all of his children gather at their
home. These children no matter what, found love, joy and fun in their father's presence.
Over the years Kim created numerous bonds, relationships and friendships. Most recently,
he established a bond with Monique. His heart was i many places
but there was no doubt the love he had for her and their daughter Kimbella. ' er im wasn't
spending time with his children, he was usually with other family and/or ner-ds.
He enjoyed cooking, fishing, shopping, rapping, joking, laughing, borrowing a d e
in need of a helping hand.
He'd help his father Mark transport materials to different worksites and was introduced to
home improvement through his father's Wright Way Home Improvement. The family
could always count on Kim. Whenever they called, he came. He would babysit the kids,
help with house cleaning, and don't let him and Keith have a reason to throw a cookout.
They would give an impromptu cookout anytime any day and would have nothing but
meats to eat.
Kim was educated through the Baltimore City Public School System. On July 17, 2015,
Kim received his high school diploma from New Spiritual Foundation Christian Academy.
This was a major accomplishment for him which he was very proud of. His most recent
employment took place at his niece's child care center, Inheritance Child Care Center.
He took pride in being there whenever they needed him. Whether it was to clean a carpet
or bleach a toilet, in the wee hours of the night, he did it with a smile on his face. What
made him even more proud was to officially establish his own business. After many
years of it being "just a DREAM", he officially filed the appropriate documents and
succeeded in creating "Lime & Grime Cleaning Services, LLC". His family and
friends we e.the-first to contract him, but he looked forward to the days
when he'd have major contracts.
Kim left this life too soon andwho he touched were prepared. The love he had,
the laughs he shared and memories he made will be cherished forever.
Kim was preceded in death by his father Kim Crosby Sr, his grandmother
Mary Frances Malloy- Reddick and his nephew Sire.
