McDonald’s wife, Renee, laughs, “The colors of the evening were various shades of blue. Kim always wears blue clothing and says, ‘My mama always said I look good in blue.’”
As guests enjoyed shrimp and grits and crawfish potato salad, cocktail napkins inscribed with some of McDonald’s funniest sayings sparked laughter and memories. McDonald was also surprised with an incredible video, filled with a lifetime of photographs and surprise films from people who greatly impacted his life. Hilarity ensued as a few of his dearest friends made an appearance, describing McDonald in five words and telling a few ‘unknown’ tales. McDonald says, “Watching the video and seeing the expression of my kids and wife was my favorite moment of the day!”
It was an evening of revelry and fun, perfectly honoring McDonald. “Kim has had a major impact on this entire community practicing medicine for 35 years…so he has basically touched…and more importantly saved more lives than can be counted in Meridian and surrounding areas,” says his wife, Renee, with awe. “The turnout was crazy, people from far and wide. Many invited and others that heard we were celebrating his birthday and they just showed up. It was so much fun!”
