I am heartbroken to hear this and pray for all the family.  I babysat for Kirk when he was living in Texas City.  I remember those gorgeous big brown eyes.  If you asked him where he got his pretty brown eyes, he would say "From my daddy".    I can see he was an awesome friend to many as an adult and I know he will be missed.

I just heard the upsetting news that Kirk passed away on Sunday. I have known him since he was a little boy running around Wilshire Baptist Church. My heart goes out to his entire family, especially Mary Jo, Char, and his brother Terry. Life is so fragile.

A beautiful contradiction .Old when he was young.Young when he was old.Seriously funny and seriously serious.Pious without judgement.Cool but silly.Obviously good looking,yet unaware.Immersed in humanity,yet above the fray.A teatotaling catalyst for your good time.Fearlessly remembering pain so intense most of us can do nothing but forget.A unique everyman.  A diamond and a grain of sand.
