Kim Alan Ballantyne (“KAB” to his family and friends), loving husband, father and grandfather was born on April 22, 1955 in Minot, North Dakota and went to be with Our Lord and Savior on December 11, 2022 in San Antonio, Texas.

KAB attended Indio High School in Indio, California and Minot High School in Minot, North Dakota, graduating from the latter in 1975. He attended College of the Desert in Palm Desert, California, and the University of Texas at Austin. At UT he was a member of the Alpha Tao Omega fraternity and earned his B.S. in Business.

After UT, he moved to San Antonio to work with his family in the oil and gas business. He was introduced to his wife, Mary Kennedy, when he escorted her to the 1984 Opening German.
