RIP Kim Devine

[WendyWilliams]

Meghan posted on Facebook one hearing from her sister, she passed Friday.

From on her Facebook:



I am literally in shock right now and quite sad to have to tell the girls of New Orleans and fans of Kimberly Divine "Jade" that I was just contacted by her sister JoBeth Williams Louviere (https://m.facebook.com/jobeth.w.louviere?refid=52&_ft_=top_level_post_id.1062539543810440%3Atl_objid .1062539543810440%3Athid.100001632139947&__tn__=%2As) who told me she passed away Friday in Los Angeles. I don't want to go into the details, I just want you to know that her family was with her when she passed and she will be taken home to Louisiana for her final resting. She and I were best friends for many years as most of you know, from New Orleans all the way to Hollywood where we started our film careers and lived only 2 blocks from each other for years. I will remember the great times and although you traveled a different path that some of us may never understand I will miss you. Rest In Peace and soar with the angels!

[MrBlonde]

Damn, that's very sad to hear. One of the first girls I remember seeing online and in vids. Very beautiful.

I was literally just thinking about her. She was one of my earliest crushes, and from people I talked to, she was a wonderful and beautiful person. Rest in Peace Ms. DeVine.

[GroobySteven]

Very sad to hear that and thanks for the update Wendy.
I'd met Kimberly a number of times and she was one of the first models photographed for ShemaleYum.

[Weissmann]

I'm shocked... Sad sad news.

Anyone knows the cause of her death??

[peejaye]

Nothing after a quick search on Google, she was 40. R.I.P.

[youngblood61]

Forty is way to early.

[Redballs]

Shocking. A beautiful woman.

[nausicaa]

A very sad loss - 40 is too too early. Thoughts are with her family and freinds

[Lester316]

Sad news. 40 is far too young.

[TSBootyLondon]

How awful… her life was just beginning however what a life hey fulfilled in a few short years!

January has been a terrible month with many losses from the entertainment industry across many genres

[MegChavalier]

I just want to say thank you to each of you and especially to Steven and AVN Magazine for remembering my dear friend Kimberly Devine and thank you Wendy for posting this for her fans. As you can imagine the last couple of days have been very difficult as we try to wrap our heads around losing her so suddenly. I want you to know that her family is reading each of the notes and remembrances you leave here on this forum and asked to be linked so they could read them and they truly appreciate your condolences and kind words about her during this time. She was an amazing person, and she really did change the face of the transgender industry. I still can't believe that she is gone, and I am still in shock as are her close friends and family. Thank you again for your kind words I know she would have appreciated each and every single one of them and it means the world to me that you loved her as much as we did. Meghan

[johnb]

This has made me sad for 2 days

[Steve-Oh]

Aw man, this is a shock!
She seemed like a very cool lady that I've always wanted to meet.
I had just learned of the loss of an old friend who was also near 40 which makes this doubly sad.
My thoughts and prayers are with Kim's loved ones.

[broncofan]

I always found her to have a beautiful and mysterious look. Very memorable. I am sorry to hear that she has died at such a young age. My thoughts and condolences go out to her friends and loved ones.

[Muzz84]

Very sad news and my thoughts are with her family and friends at this difficult time. Like so many people on here, Kimberly was the first girl I had a major crush on in this industry. Beautiful woman who entertained so many people from across the world. She may be gone but her memory lives on.

Rest in peace Kimberly x

[oooh]

I'm really shocked. I don't know what to say. She was one of favourites and she will be forever. This is just so sad.

[Jericho]

I fell in internet love with her, the first time I saw her pictures. No going back after that.
RIP.

[red-cyberman]

Rest in Peace Kim Devine.

[tslvr]

A very sad time.

[Jeremy.Nogueira]

R.I.P Kim, you will ve missed...

[costanza8866]

Very sorry to hear of Kim Devine's passing. My condolences to her family and friends. I always thought she was a beautiful lady, she will be missed.

[Lovecox]

I met her on two occasions many years ago. She was more beautiful in person, really beautiful, and she had a great sense of humor.

[leckery5]

A legend lost! RIP

[Georgeswat]

one of my first crushes the good old days..RIP

[blackchubby38]

She was one of personal favorites and was on my Mount Rushmore of TS stars.

RIP Kimberly Devine.

[chazzer1234]

Kim was "the One" for me. She not only entertained us, but more, importantly, showed courage the world that being transgender was o.k. Especially during a time when it was not cool to do it. I respect her and all of those out there who are true to being themselves. Peace be with you Kim and thank you for being the example of person courage and strength. For that, I feel you will always be missed and remembered.

[Barno]

It's always so sad when someone so young goes away. She will be missed. Rest In Peace.

[Lover]

This is so sad. She was so sweet and loving.

[mrhk13]

One of my first T-crushes... very sad to hear the news. May her memory be a blessing.

[Post Op Preferred]

Kimberly was lovely, energetic, and creative in her video work, but that pales beside my memories of her in person, in about 1996, How vividly I recall her gorgeous smile, lovely Cajun inflected accent, gorgeous boobs, and the pursed-lips tattoo on her curvaceous butt, which seemed to blow kisses to me as we made love. Her little dog (was it a pug?) looked on jealously as we cavorted on her lower bunk bed.
Her friend Shawna (the one with the Romeo tattoo, what became of her?) later told me that I was among the fortunate few whom she allowed to top her. I am forever grateful for her generosity and beauty.
Kimberly, you were one of my first, and greatest TS encounters. May your afterlife be as happy and free as the all too brief time you allowed me to spend with you. Rest in Peace, and free of the burdens of this life.

[dreamon]

40 is so young... that's awful to hear. RIP

[fab]

January has been a shitty month with so many wonderful people dying. Kim you are with the angels, RIP, you beautiful TS. We will all miss you.

[helovestransfeet]

And her family are reading these posts. Nice!!

It's fine. It's on a porn board. They were both adults.
It's none of your business.

[Jack8941]

RIP Kim total beauty xx

[JoeyFink]

RIP Kim

[ChemDawg291]

So very saddened to hear of her passing. I remember my first trans crush was Kimberly. I remember when I was deploying to Iraq in 2003 I reached out to her as a fan and I was surprized by how nice she was to me. I still even have the picture she sent me, believe it or not that picture of her helped me through some dark times, another human being being that kind and taking the time for a total stranger. I whish I could have gotten to know her as a person, I'm certain her beauty as a person would be hard to match. Her beauty and her impact on this world will continue on and she'll be remembered and loved by so many.

[BlkJewels]

Shock. My condolences to her family and loved ones.

[uchetal]

As many people here have stated, the passing of Kim Devine is very sad and a shock. To lose anyone at age 40 is so devastating. Kim was one of my first crushes as I became aware of the transgendered scene. She was a trend setter. My condolences go out to Kim's family, friends and fans. I wish you all comfort during this time. May Kim Rest in Peace and be ever in the hearts of her loved ones.

[Stavros]

Most of reach the age of 40 and pause for breath, we do not pause forever. Peace.

The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to ocean..

[BellaBellucci]

I didn't know Kim, but as someone who was told she was going to die at age 36, I feel for her. And as someone who knows one of her closest friends affected by this, namely Meghan Chevalier, I send my condolences. This is a terrible tragedy.

#sorryforyourloss

~BB~

[maxpower]

Wow, this is very sad to hear. She was one of my faves in those early days. Way too young to go. RIP, Kim.

[jharder]

Very sad...my first crush when I saw 15.

[bigkid69]

So beautiful, that's how I will remember her....RIP

[philpheet]

What a sad news. Kimberly was one the first girl I saw in vdeos with Meghan Chevalier, Lisa Lawernce and many others. She was nice.
R.I.P.

[Blacksand]

Very sad. One of my favourite girls.
Rest in Peace Kimberly.

[EZWind]

Kim will live on in the fond memories we all have of her. One of my earliest TS heartthrobs.
Meanwhile, WTF is going on here with 2016? Every time I blink, someone I followed in my youth is checking out at age 74....Paul Kantner and Signe Anderson, Maurice White, and now Dan Hicks just yesterday. Bowie went a bit early at 69 and Glen Frey at 67....but 40 ? That's just too sad for words
R.I.P.

[SXFX]

do we know what happened?

[Bobzz]

do we know what happened?

Yes, she died. That's what happened. If your question is "of what", it sounds like morbid curiosity. It seems that the inference on this board has been whenever it's announced that a transsexual adult entertainer dies is that she might of had ... you know ... the dreaded "A" word. But the reality is, it shouldn't matter to anyone, except her significant other, her family or her close friends. Hormone treatments can do a number on transsexuals and can lead to increased risk of cancer of the lung, cervix, stomach, esophagus (tube fromyour mouth to your stomach), larynx (voice box), liver, and bladder. The risk of breast cancer may also be increased for MTFs who have takenestrogen over a long period of time. She died surrounded by family. That should be sufficient.

[Gillian]

... She died surrounded by family. That should be sufficient.
Easy Tiger ...

If I was told ANY of my friends had died, I think my first question would be "what happened" or "how".

I take your point if the interest is prurient, but just being told someone that young has died, whether surrounded by family of not, leaves a bit of a hole if you don't know the circumstances.

I didn't mean to sound strident, my apologies. My point was simply to address the elephant in the room. We don't (I surely don't) know any of the circumstances. Just sorry it happened.

[DP4U]

Any comments from Eddie Murphy?

[tgtoez]

A beautiful lady, very expressive.

[GroobySteven]

Any comments from Eddie Murphy?

Why would he have a comment? And is it appropriate that you posted that here?

It's a normal impulse to want to know why someone died.
I've had close relatives who died while I was in the hospital and a doctor still couldn't give me the specifics about what literally started the death process.

Learning why someone dies can be a precaution for those of us still living, so I don't know why it's some big secret other than respecting the privacy of the family.

Also I don't think it's shameful to find out someone died from HIV.

[GroobySteven]

As far as I am aware, none of you are family or close friends (myself included). I'm sure they know more. It's unnecessary for it to be shared with us if it's not already in the public domain.

[giovanni_hotel]

As far as I am aware, none of you are family or close friends (myself included). I'm sure they know more. It's unnecessary for it to be shared with us if it's not already in the public domain.

Fine, but what I disagree with is that it's somehow 'morbid' or prurient to know and understand the death process.

That's a very normal, natural human impulse.

Of course, some people use the details of someone's death to judge their lives after the fact.
But for me personally it's just an interest in knowing what happened.

No one is suggesting her family has an obligation to share that info either.

[EZWind]

Fine, but what I disagree with is that it's somehow 'morbid' or prurient to know ....

.....I meant to suggest perhaps the cutting of a little slack might be in order as well when I saw this ystdy. Someone I admired and whose work I respected has passed suddenly and unexpectedly and at a very young age....I'm gonna say, well shit, that's a stone drag...., what the heck happened? Doesn't seem like an unnecessary question to me....certainly by no means "morbid"

.....this guy, on the other hand

Any comments from Eddie Murphy?

...totally unnecessary

[curiosissy]

I´m very very sad about this terrible news. Condolences to her family. Rest in Peace my Lady.

I feel that my heart is broken

[yosi]

Rest in peace

[zookeeper]

Condolences to her friends and family. Sad news, in deed.

[Erika1487]

Sad........she will be missed

[hardharry585]

She will always be a legend. Kim, you are spectacular person.

[JtotheMtothe]

Damn. Just saw this. Used to talk to her all the time on AOL/AIM ages ago (maybe '99-01). Still remember her handle, kimberlysdevine. She was always so nice. Talked to her about getting together a year or so ago, but never actually got around to it. Too late now. RIP.

[sockratees]

That sucks.

[iluvshemales]

my first shemale crush. so sad. RIP beautiful Kimberly :(

[jonnie64]

Oh no!!!! She was one of my all time favorites. I remember her from years ago, one of my first shemale crushes. So sad, I always loved her. Beautiful woman.........

[chi73inla]

Hopefully there are pleny of young smooth bottom boys in heaven for her to seed.

[MegChavalier]

I would like to thank all of you for your kind words and condolences over the last two weeks. Her family and friends are moving forward as you have to when someone you love passes. Her private memorial service will be next weekend and if any of you would like to send cards or flowers please contact me at meghanchavalier@gmail.com and I will send you the address where you can send those. Of course respectful is of the utmost importance when sending either as they will go directly to her family. It has been a difficult time for all of us, but we are getting through it, and just want you to know that our main goal is preserving her memory. Again, thank you for your kindness and thank you for remembering her. Meghan C.

[MegChavalier]

914502 I thought I'd share a picture of Kimberly and I from 1994...Sometimes you have no idea how long someone has actually known someone. I had known her since she was 17 years old so we had a long history together all the way from New Orleans to Hollywood. I will definitely miss my friend.

[Bisex]

THis is the kind of news that nodoby would like to hear. I don't know if it's a coincidenze, but in the last few week I'm making strange dreams, where on the phone I can non more hear the voice of my loved ones, because they have passed away. I wake up suddenly in tears, with regret for not having loved and helped more when they were alive, and i have panick attacks.

That's very sad, I'm devastated: condolescences to her family and friends, she will be missed a lot. Rest in Peace dear angel . For sure you will go to paradise.

[bimale69]

Condolences, Meg.


RIP Kim.


We're losing too many people lately. :(

[kevvkfan]

So sad to hear

[Mr. Sinister]

Rip!

[MyersJ85]

Kimberly was the very first transsexual I ever saw, and a very big crush of mine for many years. About 15 years ago I came across a video of a gorgeous woman, not having any idea she was transsexual. She will always be the person who opened my eyes to just how incredibly beautiful trans women can be. My prayers are with her family and friends during this tough time.

[NYBURBS]

Wow, just saw this and was stunned. R.I.P. and my condolences to her family and friends.

[HedonisticMale92]

Damn. R.I.P. <3

[wsbfan1]

One of my favorites stars. I'll miss her.

[foarwat]

I recently contacted her in hopes of a meet-up, now i regret not going through with it :( RIP. she was also the first t-girl i've ever seen.

[TSLoverIB]

Such sad damn news, all these years of such a beautiful women...R.I.P

[Females&Shemales]

I had no idea. Ironically, my favorite scene of hers is the one that didn't get filmed when she hooked up with her girlfriend, Cinder, bareback. (The only time she was with a GG on camera)

920574920575920573920577920576

RIP Kimberly. You were a pioneer in this industry.

[LittleGuy]

Although I like watching her vids, she didn't like black dudes at all. Those were her exact words.

[ts_curious]

RIP Kim - you were too young to go.

Kim was my first TS crush, after I saw here in a copy of Transformation magazine in a London bookshop.

Just saw this the other day and couldn't believe it. She was one of the first TS's I ever knew about. RIP so sorry to see her pass so young. :(

We got to stop this death thing, definitely annoying.
