Not sure what to say?

My deepest condolences to the Kirk family. Mr. Kirk, your legacy is your family and I feel like I know a piece of you by knowing your son.

Our deepest sympathy to your whole family. May the memories of times shared as a family bring you comfort and a smile in the days ahead.

Dad, thank you for a lifetime of stories, jokes, roadkill, hunting and fishing, and most of all, love for West Virginia and our family there.

Wherever we lived, we were "Urban Hillbillies" -- Your stories of growing up in West Virginia, the things you cooked, the stories you told, and our frequent visits there to see cousins and climb the mountains were unforgettable. Throughout the house it was common to see Raccoon cooking on the stove, Elderberry wine fermenting in a carboy,...

Darrell, Thanks for your service to our Country & U.S. Army. May you rest in peace Brother. Army Strong! Maj. Wiliam Jukich United States Marine Corps (Retired). Harrier Attack Pilot from Northwest Indiana. Semper Fi

Rest easy Uncle Darrell. I'll never forget the time you took us all to the drive-in. ❤

My dear sweet uncle Darrell, it is so sad to see you leave us so soon but you are in a better place reunited with you wife and many close family members. I love you so much and you will be missed dearly. Your memory will always be kept alive. I remember all the stories and jokes that you and my dad would tell and have all of us laughing so hard. You left a legacy down here for your kids and relatives. RIP Uncle Darrell until we meet again.
