Kirk Lane Skowronski , age 47, passed suddenly on December 11th, 2021, in his Florida home.

Kirk is survived by his wife, Stephanie Skowronski; children Hope Skowronski, Kain Skowronski, and Reagan Skowronski; step-daughter, Katelyn Brimm; Grandson, Levi Carmack; Sister Jenay Skowronski; Aunt Denise (Lary) Crosthwaite, Uncle Dwayne Parks, Uncle Dennis (Jennifer) Parks and many cousins and family who will miss him and his humor dearly. He is predeceased by his Mother Diane Parks and grandparents Wilam (Ed) Jarinski and Wayne Parks.

Kirk was born in Michigan on January 11, 1974. He lost his mother in 1988, leaving him and his sister in the care of their aunt, Denise Crosthwaite. He joined the Navy immediately after he graduated from Hazel Park High school in 1993. He married his first wife, April (Schneidt) Winkleman, in 1994, and welcomed his first two children, Hope and Kain, on September 9th, 1996, and August 15th, 1998. He divorced his first wife in 2005 after 11 years of marriage. He remarried on August 26th, 2013 to Stephanie (Brimm) Skowronski. He welcomed his last child , Reagan, on February 25th, 2015. Kirk retired from the military in 2017 after a celebrated career in active duty and then reserves, as a respected Chief Petty Officer.

Kirk was a devoted military man and loving father. He served his country with pride and completed a tour in Iraq in 2004 and in Afghanistan, 2012. When he wasn't out protecting our country, he could be found fixing and taking things apart. Kirk was a hard-working man and prided himself on never missing a day of work. His favorite part of his Navy service was visiting different countries, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures along the way. He always brought back small gifts for his children so he could share his experiences. He was very passionate about sports and especially loved Notre Dame, the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Red Wings, Miami Dolphins, and NASCAR. Kirk will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and those who knew him and served with him. His great stories and humor will not be forgotten.
