Kimbro worked as a butcher and loved cutting a good piece of meat; he worked until his body wouldn't allow it. He talked about how his customers in Camden loved his sausage that he couldn't make it fast enough.

Kimbro, in his younger years could be found on any little league field coaching his sons in baseball on up to their teenage years. There are many now adult ball players that admired his coaching and love for the game. Once his grandchildren came along and were old enough to hold a ball, he was throwing balls with them and helping coach their little league teams. He also loved Alabama football, his family made sure his last Saturday on this Earth that the Alabama game was playing in his hospital room.

The family request no flowers but instead memorials be made to the American Kidney Foundation in his name.

Kimbro loved sports and his job, but he loved his family even more.
