Heber Chase Kimball
Born on June 14, 1801, Heber's journey from a craftsman in Vermont to a significant leader in the church is a testament to his faith and tenacity. As one of the original members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and a trusted confidant of Joseph Smith, he helped guide the church through pivotal times, including the difficult migration westward. Serving loyally beside Brigham Young, Heber's leadership helped shape the spiritual heritage and resilience that we, his descendants, honor and cherish to this day. He passed away on June 22, 1868, but his legacy continues to inspire us within the Kimball family lineage.
