0.50/1 No-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Texas Grabem 1.7 by www.pokerstrategy.cc.

Preflop: Hero is CO with K♦, Q♦
MP2 folds, MP3 calls $1.00, Hero raises to $5.00, 2 folds, BB raises to $10.00, MP3 folds, Hero calls $5.00.

Flop: ($21.50) 2♣, K♠, 7♦ (2 players)
BB bets $22, Hero raises to $86.00 (All-In), BB raises to $54.35 (All-In).

Turn: ($161.85) 6♦
River: ($161.85) 9♠

Final Pot: $161.85

Am I destined to go broke here? Normally for 65BB stack with TPGK this is easy, but:

1) his minraise preflop is very suspicious
2) his big bet on the flop screams strength
3) he seems a fairly straightforward player so far

Would those factors combined justify a fold or not?

No, I don't see me folding. However, I don't see me reraising, too. What does he have? He may have a monster, a mediocre hand that wants to represent the K or a pure bluff. We go broke against monsters when calling or raising, but we may get a bluff/mediocre hand to fold - that's not our goal. Call and let him bluff again.
