Dearest Nick, Elizabeth and Girls,
I love you more than words can say. Thank you allowing me to take this journey with you. I miss Kobe very much!
Team Kobe will honor Kobe and you as a family by doing great things. We have learned a lot and I believe our gifts to others will be pleasing to Kobe.
Love you all bunches!

Dear sweet Kobe, How how we all miss you and the pain is so difficult. Kobe I would not change any of this pain because that would simply mean that I would have never gotten to be a part of your life. My family is forever changed by you and your strength. To have had you in our lives is a blessing and we are better people for knowing and loving you. We will see you someday and we look forward to that day!
"Good night, Harry," said Lulu.
"Sweet dreams, Harry," said Ted.
But Harry was fast asleep, and a "Snuffle" was all he said.
Nick,Lizz,Anissa and Nikki,
We can not take away the heavy pain in your hearts that you are feeling but we are here to lighten your load. We love you all and are so blessed to have been a part of your lives this far and we will continue to be here for you all always.
Love, Josh, Jen,Isaac and Eli

Hey, Kobers;
I know you're reading this, so I know you know how many lives you touched, and how many people love you. I know you know how much your family misses you, and I know you know that many of us, me included, are so very grateful for your courage, and for the example you set for us all. You never gave up, and you might just have helped find a cure for CGD so that maybe, just maybe, some other little guy won't have to go through what you went through.You impacted more people, in such a selfless way, than most of us can ever imagine. God gave you an importsant job to do when He sent you here, and you did Him proud. You know?
Love you,
Laura Dean Thebeau

Kobe you were called home one month ago. Grammie Lola has really had a difficult time but went to your grave for the 1st since your body was laid to rest.
It was very peaceful at the cemetery, maybe it is the Lord reassuring me you are at peace at the feet of our Father in heaven.
You are so missed! I wanted to have another tea party with you, we hardly used our tea set! When I get to Heaven let's have a tea party!
I love you Kobe! Team Kobe will continue to honor your life. I know we will be able to bless many others, because of what you taught us!
Love Grammie

I still cant believe this. Who can? Its shocking and heartbreaking. I'm torn from wanting to forget the pain and letting it inspire me. Which is more selfish? You are happy I know , your inspiration is your legacy. Love You. Unkie

To Lizz and Nick Kirk and Kobe's entire extended family;
I truly know how you feel, I have lost 2 sons so before their time...one was 19 and the other 39 with 4 children; and the pain and loss are sincerely the very same. My throat closes up when I think of either one of them, and this is true when I think of little Kobe. He was a true fighter and came so close to beating this disease when his little body could not go on...Lizz, you will always love your son, and he will always love you...know that he will always be with you forever...my sons are. Nick, you are a strong man for your girls, your son is going to be by your side in your heart forever. With love and prayers and healing...The Burchett's and Heise's in N. Idaho

I didn't know this precious little boy but I do know that he's now walking with the Lord and living 24 hours a day in His presence. I hope that's comforting for his parents. Shirley Abt

I will never forget the first time I met Kobe. It was a visit to Arizona at your Auntie's house. Probably only 2 years old. Kobe had so much energy I never would of guessed him to be ill. I know that Kobe gave a lot of joy to a lot of people. And he will be missed. Prayers for your family. Remember to always share Kobes story.

Nick, we went to high school together and your little one has touched my heart. I've watched for the last year as Kobe has fought this battle valiantly. The days I got to hear his little voice order a meal on the room service line meant so much to me and to the others in the room service office at PCMC. Our hearts and prayers are with your family at this time. May the Lord bless you and may peace be with you.

I am sorry to hear of your loss of your beautiful baby boy. I got to meet Kobe just once and what a joy he was. Liz, I dont know you like i know your sister Chrystal but i know when i met you, you were just like her. I wish i could take away some of the pain for you. I wish i knew what to tell you, but i cant even imagine loosing a child the pain that is involved. All i can say is stay strong, love hard and we will see Kobe again. Know he is with you everyday, only healthy. He now is just your guardian angel. My prayers are with you all.

You will be welcomed in heaven by your great grandma and other relatives who will watch over you until you are reunited with your dad, mom and sisters ,grandparents. You struggled so hard and for so long , Now you can go play, run and be free of all the limites that your poor little body couldn't indure. Take care little one...... love Patti Wolf

Kobe, look at the lives you blessed with your amazing strength. Your energy here on this planet even though it was not long it has such amazing purpose. To your Momma, my dear I know the pain you are feeling. I lost my first born son in 2008, and the pain is something none of us can ever imagine. To your Daddy,I am sorry for you loss. Like your wife there are no words to take it away. May you know this Kobe you have touched us all and that my dear is the blessing. May you no longer be in pain but true bliss. May your sisters and brothers and all who loved you celebrate the spectacular person they were so lucky to know. RIP, and God bless your family and friends.

That was one of the most beautiful tributes I have ever read. Kobe is an amazing little boy who touched so many hearts including mine and those of my friends and family who prayed for him. He is so beautiful and so special and is now your guardian angel. He will never be far away and I know you will see him again someday. My heart goes out to you his family who love him so dearly and will miss him so much. May the dear Lord bless you and keep you and sustain you in the painful days ahead. When Christ ascended into heaven, he left us the Holy Spirit to comfort and I know that is what He will do for you. May God's comfort surround you and may you feel His loving embrace. I love and admire you all so much. Kobe is my hero and I have never seen and shall never see again such an example of bravery, courage and strength. Thank you sweet Kobe and may you rest in peace until we are reunited with you again. All my love and prayers to your family and my deepest sympathies as well.

Lizz - I am Sara Raddon's mom and I would like to tell you that I am so sorry for your loss and your families loss.

I'm a friend of Barb's, I've followed Kobe's journey for some time. It's such a loss at a young age. The smile on his face is priceless. Heavenly Father will renew his body & give him the opportunity to do the things he always wanted to. He & Grandpa Nick are together. . Kobe will be forever be in my heart, he will always be on my mind.
