"Yesterday I said goodbye to [the] best the friend I've ever had in my life.. Monty was an amazing person with an amazing soul ... We shared over 30 years of Love & Happiness and brought a beautiful daughter into [the] world. I am so grateful for all that we shared," Kim wrote in the caption to a photo of the pair on Instagram Monday. "I love you Monty my angel in heaven .. and I know that we [will] be together again one day. I will carry you in my heart always my love...until then, may you rest in peace."

"The kindest , gentlest soul who inspired so many with his positive attitude throughout his battle with cancer. May you rest in peace now..."
