My sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to the Kim family, their friends, and all of his coworkers. I am deeply upset by his loss and can't even begin to comprehend what his family and friends are going through.
He will be dearly missed, and never forgotten.
My Sympathies,
Evan Kitaljevich
I want to send all of our prayers and condolences to the Kim Family as well as the CNET family. We have all lost a great man and our hearts are with the Kim Family.
Very sad day for us all.

A very sad day. My humble condolences to his family and CNET colleagues.
My heart sank when I saw the headline on CNN moments ago. We were all hoping for the best.
I suppose we can look at this as another reminder to enjoy the life we have and appreciate our loved ones while they are around.
Lots of love to the Kim family.

James Kim is the model of what every father and husband should aspire to be. He is a man who gave his life in an attempt to ensure that his daughters and their mother would survive. There are so few people in the world today who would commit a truly selfless act. Words can not heal the pain of James’ family, but I know they will find comfort in their memories of James and the joy he brought into their lives.
The people at CNET had the rare privilege of working with a true hero. CNET readers had the privilege of benefiting from James' passion. God bless, James Kim.
I never expected this, I always thought he'd be found, but this is just awful. I was looking for completely unrelated stuff on google, and I saw this, and I just didn't want to beleive it.
This isn't a very happy birthday for me anymore...
My most sincere condolences to his family and friends. It is obvious he loved his family dearly and was willing to, and ultimately did, give his life in the hope that his sacrafice may save the lives of his wife and children. May he rest in peace.

Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
You are a hero to your family. You will be missed.
This is just terrible. I will miss James a great deal.
The only thing I can think that offers any condolences is that his wife and children are still alive, and he gave everything to make sure they survived.
My condolences to the family and the Cnet staff, especially those that were closest to him. I am sure that M,T,&V are having an especially hard time right now.
I am not very happy about this, and I know everybody else is.
They will most likely grow up without a father, at least not their real father. My condolences to his family.
My condolences to all his family, friends, and colleagues.
The fact that his families rescue came without his help, in no way diminishes the valor in his actions. I will not second guess his motives, nor spend time pondering what ifs. We all spend a limited time on this Earth, and while his passing is a tragedy, his final act leaves me humbled.
