In Memory of Kim Cipriani

Rest in Peace (4/20/61 - 11/30/20)

Kim had been a part of our family since 2009 and was one of our most passionate and dedicated team members here at Southside. She spent her more recent years helping new motorcycle riders find their freedom through the Harley-Davidson Riding Academy program.

Kim will be so deeply missed by each one of us and will always be remembered as a fun, compassionate, loving, and kind-hearted soul that so many of us had the pleasure of working with.
