Dr. Donald "Don" Garold Kimble, 83, passed away on April 30, 2018. After completing studies at Texas Chiropractic College in Houston in 1959, Don and his wife, Joan, settled in Rock Hill, SC and established Kimble Chiropractic Center. Having come from a family of 15 chiropractors, Dr. Kimble believed in the healing power of chiropractic, a dedication to professionalism, and a commitment to continuing education. For the first 16 years of practice, he used full spine and meric techniques but was never completely satisfied with the results he was getting. After attending an Activator Methods Technique class while attending a Parker Seminar in Las Vegas, he began to experience great success with this new method and eventually changed his technique completely over to Activator Methods. He was one of the only Certified Activator Methods chiropractors in his area and traveled extensively as an instructor. Don is very respected by the professional community as evidenced by many teaching appointments and requests to provide lectures. He practiced for 60 years and also with his son, Dr. Mark Kimble, and his daughter, Dona Jo Kimble Ramsey, a Chiropractic Assistant. Always feeling the need to give back to the profession which has given so much to them, Dr. Don and Joan Kimble donated $100,000 in 1992 to the Department of Chemical, Bio and Materials Engineering at Arizona State University ( ASU) to fund a clinical study comparing the biomechanics of the neck in healthy people to those with neck injuries. The principal investigator for the study was Assistant Professor Gary T. Yamaguchi, Ph.D. at ASU who worked in collaboration with Dr. Arlan W. Fuhr's clinic in Phoenix, Arizona to develop a greater understanding of the mechanisms of neck dysfunction following neck injuries by comparing the effectiveness of chiropractic methods, rehabilitative procedures, surgery, and "non-treatment" protocols. Dr. Kimble was elected to the first Class of the South Carolina Chiropractic Hall of Fame 2005, which is the highest honor that can be bestowed to a Doctor of Chiropractic in South Carolina. Dr. Kimble was preceded in death by five brothers. He is survived by his wife, Joan Cozart Kimble, a son, daughter, five grandchildren, five great grandchildren and a sister. Funeral services were held Friday, May 4, 2018 at Oakland Baptist Church, 1067 Oakland Avenue, Rock Hill, SC. Burial followed in Forest Hills Cemetery, 4290 Old York Road, Rock Hill, SC. Memorials may be made to Oakland Baptist Church, 1067 Oakland Avenue, Rock Hill, SC 29732.
