Carmel City Councilor Bruce Kimball passed away Friday, December 30, at the age of 70. Kimball was in the middle of his second term on the Council, to which he was first elected in 2015 and then re-elected in 2019.
“I was saddened to learn of the death of Councilor Bruce Kimball. During his time on the Council he served his District well and will be remembered as a champion of bicycling on the Monon Greenway and across the City,” said Mayor Jim Brainard. “Bruce was also a friend and I extend my condolences to his family and friends. Bruce loved Carmel and worked diligently to make it a special place for his constituents."
On Tuesday, January 3, a solemn funeral procession took place through the Central District KImball represented.The procession stopped at City Hall with flags flying at half-staff and City employees there to pay respect. Kimball's tireless devotion to making Carmel a bike-friendly community and his commitment to our city will be greatly missed.
In lieu of flowers, friends are invited to support Bike Carmel, the official city resource for bicycle-related events and information in Carmel.
