Kim May Craig

“Kim May Craig, 54, of Atlanta, Ga passed away on December 11, 2018. A Bohemian gypsy in the purest form, Kim had been a long-standing fixture in Atlanta’s Music, Arts, and Entertainment scene. Known for her beauty inside and out, her warm personality, and her incredible wit, Kim lived with passion and loved with all of her being. She touched and enriched the lives of others through her contagious enthusiasm in art, music, literature, theatre, and God. She was a loyal patron to almost every historical entertainment venue in Atlanta. In her teens and early twenties, she would attended music shows at The Metroplex and 688. She worked at Oxford Bookstore off Peachtree Battle and The Theatre League of Atlanta. In her thirties, she served as the VIP bar staff at the legendary Club 112. Today, the majority of Southeast Atlanta residents in their 40s and 30s could easily play a game of “six degrees to Kimi.” She enlightened and inspired a whole new generation of young creatives in the local community.  Although she struggled with opioid addiction throughout her adult life, she found stability in Medication Assisted Treatment and viewed Methadone as a lifesaver. Through her success with treatment, She became a strong advocate of seeking help for mental health and substance use and wanted to break the stigma of Medication Assisted Treatment. In all dealings, Kim led her life with her heart. She treated all human beings as a friend and valued everyone’s journey without judgement, facilitating others suffering with substance addiction to seek treatment, including providing transportation, meals, and support. Kim’s compassionate assistance to others inspired her daughter to pursue a career as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for a nonprofit organization. Her brilliance, warmth, charm, and humor will be greatly missed by all who knew her and will inspire any who had the privilege to come in contact with her. “
