I just learned of Kirk's passing. I knew Kirk from back in the mid-70's from the tax world. He was one of the most careful and empathetic listeners that I have ever met. Kirk successfully helped me out on an issue that I was having with an employer where no one else would. He was such a helpful, smart, fair, and honest man, and could simplify complicated matters into understandable issues. I always enjoyed visiting with him, and he will be missed! My deepest condolences to his family and friends!

We were customers of his. He became our friend and a great consultant.

I have known Kirk for about 25 years. His son Michael and I were good friends through junior high and high school and still communicate with each other on a regular basis. Kirk and all of his family were always nothing but good to me and all of our group of friends. Later in life I grew to know Kirk in a professional setting as well as he helped with business taxes. This was something that we were fairly naive about but Kirk was always very patient, helpful and understanding. Each time we met with him to discuss business matters he always asked about family and how things were going. I can't think of a more kind person that I have met in my life.

I am fortunate enough to call Kirk´s son, Mike, one of my best friends. While I wish I would have spent more time around Kirk, he still gave me two very important things. First, he raised one of my lifelong friends, who is incredibly loyal, strong, smart, and kind. Second, he taught me the importance of "being there" as a father. When playing basketball with Mike, there was one constant - Kirk´s presence. We could have been playing any day of the week, at any school, even in other states, and he was there supporting his son and his son´s friends. I´ll try to do the same, Kirk!

I can’t begin to tell you how much Kirk will be missed by the Maraldo family. He was a great brother and friend. Kirk was a good man - helpful, faithful, honest and loving. He influenced our son, Tony, on his lifelong career and always encouraged our daughter, Tiffany, in her Art. Whenever I went to him for advice he would always tell me “don’t burn your bridges” which was very helpful. My brother loved his children and could be found, with Pam, at their many activities. A few months ago, Kirk called and asked if we could have a weekly telephone date on Wednesday’s at 2PM. I readily agreed and I am so happy that I did. We talked about everything from our childhood to books and spirituality. One of my favorite memories was when people would ask a young Kirk what his name was and he would respond “Kirk William Cowboy Ballgame Bennett.” I am so grateful for those precious Wednesday talks. I will miss you so much Kirk!

I knew Kirk Bennett from a professional situation. When you were with him you were treated as if you were his only patron. Kirk is going to be missed. I feel very honored that he stepped into my life. He knew history as I did. Thank you Bennett family. Don Vanderwood

Kirk was a very rare individual indeed. He had the ability to make you feel like you were really someone important to him. I went to him as a fellow CPA to obtain some estate planning, but he quickly became interested in my art work and poetry. I wish I might have invested more time into getting to know him better. He was one very special person. Please accept my very deepest condolences. He will be greatly missed by all. Cory M. Webster (801) 466-1820
