We lost one of the best yesterday.
Kirk did so much for everyone.

As Abe Lincoln quoted
"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."


He was full of live and loved living, and was not afraid of adventure, but his friendship to all will not be forgotten.
Kirk was one of a kind and he will be missed by his family and also an entire community. He touched alot of lives in his 45 years,especially the youth.
Please continue to support and pray for the family. I know they appreciate everything everyone has done during Kirk's illness.

Kirk left a part of his never ending love of life with everyone he encountered in life. He raised two wonderful boys who will continue to carry on the values of life and hard work he instilled upon them. Kirk was a fighter who refused to give up, even when all odds were against him. He will be missed greatly by all, and never forgotten for his kindness, loyalty, and generosity towards everyone. Laura, Matthew, Chase, and Don, you are all in my prayers!

Kirk is at peace now as we all deal with his passing in our own way. The services were emotional and well attended by many who thought so much of Kirk. To his family and many, he will never be forgotten. He has touched so many of our youth and will forever have an impact on their lives. May God be with each of you as each day you face the loss.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
