Her husband, David Lusk,
confirmed her death on Facebook. The two had just celebrated their 28th anniversary a few days before. According to David, the Texas guitarist passed away from a "cardiac event, brought on by the strain of cancer and chemo treatments.""My beautiful, sweet Kim, the Goddess of Thunder, passed away peacefully while in her bed in hospice care," he wrote. "Thank you everyone for (your) kind words, love, prayers, and support ... she loved all of you so much. Please do us the honor of giving us the time and space to grieve our loss ... but feel free to share your love and memories of Kim, here or in your own way on FB or social media."

"She went thru several tests at the hospital, and unfortunately, she has mentally left this world, and now her poor broken body has began its final journey in the ages," he wrote.
Meanwhile, Def Leggend mourned the loss of the Texas guitarist on its social media page.
"Def Leggend (mourns) the loss of our sister, Kim Lusk," a post on the group's page read. "Our thoughts and condolences go to David Lusk and family, as well as all of you who knew and loved her, as we did. Rock on, beautiful angel."
"Kim Lusk was born to boogie," Michael Javier also wrote on Facebook. "She made herself known with a smile on her face and thunder on her fingertips. She proved she can rock with the boys. And play the notes like a boss! She stepped up to the plate and took on the challenges many could only dream of with confidence and pride. Rock N' Roll was in her blood and she poured out every ounce of energy on stage for all to see. Respectfully earning the name Goddess of Thunder among her friends and fellow musicians, Kim Lusk owned it! Today we say goodbye to Kim as she moves on to a better place, but we won't let her spirit fade. She now lives in all who (knew) her, who cherished her and appreciated her for the class act she was. Rest in Power my friend. Until we meet again."
