More of a brother than a friend back in our high school days at Sam Rayburn, even then he helped influence the person that I would become. Years later, separated by life's paths and several states, our occasional visits seemed as though no time had passed by at all. A soul like his is hard to find and a blessing to those he encountered. Sincere condolences to his loved ones. Godspeed my friend...rest easy.
Truly sad for us that Kirk is gone but I have no doubt he’s shaking things up in heaven. Kirk was a great friend. We had a lot of great times chasing kids around to whatever they were in to. And Dana and Kaci got into their fair share. So many times we shook our heads wondering “what were they thinking” but at the same time laughing, knowing we probably would’ve done the same thing when we were younger. Kirk loved competition, was gracious but hated to lose. Few people brought out your competitive drive like Kirk did. We started a golf game many years ago, exchanging the same dollar to whoever won. I still have it in my wallet. I regret that we did not play more and have the chance to no doubt give it right back. But I do know someday we’ll have another game. Kirk left a mark on everyone he touched and will be greatly missed.
We are so saddened to learn about Kirk’s passing. My husband, Rick worked part-time at Chick-fil-A many years ago. Kirk was a very nice person who did many good things for the community.
Kirk was a sweet friend of mine in high school... I'm am Soo sorry to hear of his passing... I wish his family peace and comfort with all of the beautiful memories.
In 1997 a very green orthopedic detail salesman walked into my OR. Over the next several years a friendship developed between us that has lasted all these years. Kirk is the epitome of integrity and selfless service. He is my friend and I will miss him. The chicken sandwiches in HEAVEN just got better. I look forward to having one with him in the future.
Kirk was a wonderful man and very supportive parent. I had the opportunity to teach and coach his children. He was an amazing person, with a smile on his face. Positive, loving, and hard working. God has taken another angel, but we all know Kirk is looking down upon us. We love you!!!! Coach Nielsen
