The bedside vigil with family, Pastor Lori and friends began Friday afternoon and lasted until his passing about 4 AM Saturday. On the morning of the celebration of our nation's declaration of independence, Kirk is free of his earthly pain and entering God's Heavenly Kingdom. May the Lord wrap His arms around Kirk's wife Carolyn and their family and comfort them in their sorrow. May all of us take a moment to pray for them and reflect on one man and one family's courage and love. Services will be announced when available. TRIBUTE TO KIRK
