Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

Kim Liana Van Etten, born on October 17, 1953, passed away peacefully on September 1, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.

She was preceded in death by her beloved son Daniel (Danny), and is survived by her devoted husband, Michael (Mickey); her cherished daughter, Veronica (Adam) Reno; and her adored grandsons, Peyton and Shane.

Kim was “Beautiful Aunt Kim” to many. A force to be reckoned with, a woman whose vibrant spirit left an indelible mark on everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. Beloved by all for her warmth and generosity. Her infectious love for Halloween was legendary. Every year she delighted in dressing up as a witch to pass out candy. Bringing joy to countless children in the community.

“Kimba” was everyone’s favorite waitress, known for her quick wit and kind heart at County Line Pizza and Harry and the Natives. Her presence brought comfort and cheer to those she served. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness and joy that will be remembered by many.

While Kim will be deeply missed, her family finds comfort in knowing that she has been reunited with her dear son Danny, who has welcomed her to the gates of heaven with open arms.

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

I’m so sorry that your family has lost Kim. Kim and Mickey are such a wonderful part of my childhood growing up in Stuart. We had such great times together that I am very grateful for. God bless all of you.

Knowing her since the 5th grade was quite a fun roller coaster ride. Living in Sebastian when they moved up there was a joy to me while I still live there. Every time I drove past the area I called Kimmy to see if I could stop in and say hi. Quite often as of late she would tell me either she or Mickey didn’t feel well and catch her the next time. This happened just a few weeks ago and I’m so sorry I didn’t get to visit her just one more time. I love you Kimmy and I will miss you so very much.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
