Kim Singletary Obituary

Kim Alan Singletary, of Gonzales, Louisiana; beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and friend, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2019, at his home surrounded by the love and admiration of his family. Son of Buren and the late Elsie Tullier Singletary, he was born on June 19, 1964 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and God blessed the earth with him for 55 years. Kim graduated in 1982 from East Ascension Academy in Gonzales, Louisiana and began working in the family business at S&S Transportation before moving to Dixie Warehouse and Terminal Transfer. In 2008, he joined the staff at Lion Elastomers in Geismar, Louisiana where he worked as a logistics manager until his battle with kidney cancer no longer allowed him to do so late last year. An avid sportsman, he was happiest fishing at the family camp in Belle River. He loved LSU sports, and cooking with friends. Kim greeted everyone with a smile that lit up a room and his sense of humor brought happiness to those who surrounded him. Survived by his loving and caring wife of 13 years, Melissa Babin Singletary; son, Cole (Richard) Payne; daughter, Loren Babin; father, Buren Singletary; two brothers, Marlan (Libby) Singletary, Kent (Dana) Singletary; sister, Andrea (Kerry) Braud; Aunt, Margaret Tullier, his dog, Junior and many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by his mother; paternal grandparents, Redrick Manard and Josephine West Singletary; maternal grandparents, Raymond and Bertha Tullier.
