Kim Jay Tusing, age 71 of Trenton, passed away Saturday evening, November 27, 2021. He was born January 28, 1950 in Middletown, the son of Thomas and Joan Patricia (Jay) Tusing. Kim graduated Trenton High School in 1968, attended UC College of Applied Science, retiring from the Energy Management Dept of AK Steel, Middletown.
He is a member of High Point Masonic Lodge 773 F. & A. M. of Monroe, Chapter, Council and Commandary of Middletown, Scottish Rite Valley of Dayton, Middletown Sportsman's Club, Middletown Moose 501, HOG, NRA, I00F and OGCA. Kim took great pride and dedication to becoming Master of High Point Lodge in 1983. Kim's many interests were riding his Harley Davidson trike, trap and pistol shooting, anything analytical/technical, and most importantly spending time with family and friends. He treasured his memories of the family Coldwater, Michigan fishing vacations with his children and grandchildren, and the memories made during those Wetzel motorcycle weekends with Animal and the gang. The nursing career of his granddaughter Kassidy, was one of his most prideful life events.
Kim is survived by his wife of 41 years, Sandy (Huddleson) Tusing; his mother, Joan Tusing; special forever daughter, Shannon Shepherd; three grandchildren, Kyerra (husband, Harley) Maggard, Kyler (wife, Savanna) Tusing, and Kassidy Tusing; 5 great grandchildren, Owen, Waylon and Ethan Maggard, Aaliyah and Amarah Tusing; and his sister, Terri (husband, Dan) Thompson.
He was preceded in death by his father, Tom Tusing; and sons, Doug and Steve Tusing.
The family will receive friends from Noon until 1:00 pm on Monday, December 6 at Breitenbach Anderson Funeral Home, with Masonic funeral services, Scottish Rite ring ceremony and funeral services starting at 1:00 pm with Pastor James Anderson and RWB Stan Benner officiating.
