As a child Kirk became an avid reader and loved a good mystery, thriller or anything pertaining to history. His love of reading continued throughout his life.
Kirk was a generous, fun-loving person who loved his dogs referring to them as his “kids”. Over the years he rescued several dogs, took them in and loved each one dearly.
Kirk’s greatest love was hitting the open road on one of his many motorcycles. He felt at peace while riding and said there was nothing like it.
He will be remembered as a kind-hearted loving man who will be missed by his family and many friends.
