Andy Kim
Age 10
Silver Spring, Maryland
Fourth-grader with an artistic, gentle spirit
He was a gentle, creative, 10-year-old artist who went to Westover Elementary School in Silver Spring, Maryland. He had just started fourth grade.
A candlelight vigil was held in honor of him and his sister. Artwork by the both of them lay next to their portraits: a jigsaw puzzle of fall colors, sailboats floating in an incredible ocean of blue, an elephant in the middle of a patchwork of pink and orange and green.
Andy Kim was shot and killed in his home on Sept. 17, 2018, by his father, who also killed his mother and siblings.
