Kim Buike Shares Late Wife’s Special Last Wishes
When Captain Kim Buike stepped onto The Golden Bachelorette scene, he was very charming. Joan Vassos noted how she loved a man in uniform and he delivered. He was sweet, genuine, and contributed to the comradery amongst the men in the mansion. As a retired Navy Captain, Kim was trepidatious about dating, not just due to his age but because he had lost his beloved wife to ovarian cancer. This was hard for most of the contestants as they had either been divorced or lost their partners. Yet, they always held a space for them in their hearts, never forgetting.
In the Wednesday, October 2nd episode, Captain Kim wanted to write and perform a special song for Joan. The rest of the mansion men did not care to do this as they felt it was something he should do on his own. He was not happy about how they reacted but, in the end, he did perform for Joan along with Guy Gansert. Sadly, it was not enough to keep him on the show and Captain Kim was sent home. Now that he is home, Captain Kim is taking time to honor his late wife via an Instagram post.

October 5th, 2024 marks seven years since Mary Buike passed away from ovarian cancer. She was only 54 years old and tragically dealt with this for three years. Unfortunately, Captain Kim’s wife was misdiagnosed which makes it even harder to grasp. Yet, Mary was grateful for all that she had experienced in her life which made it not so as awful. Ultimately, Mary’s wish was for women to further educate themselves on ovarian cancer. Captain Kim is honoring her by reminding women to keep on top of their health.
A Beautiful Story
After The Golden Bachelorette fans saw Captain Kim Buike’s tribute to his late wife, they were so incredibly touched. They felt it was the most beautiful story, some could relate to what he and Mary had gone through so they rushed to the comment section:
