News of Kirk's passing just reached me and although I had lost contact with him since college, I remember him so vividly in our fraternity as a leader and a role model. He had a quiet confidence and was someone whom you always knew would be successful in life and in his career. Doreen, I'm so terribly sorry about this tragedy and my heart goes out to you and your family.

Kirk's passing is a great loss on many levels Pat and Darryl, I can't imagine your deep pain at this time. The ups and downs we experience on this earth are often things we can take in stride, yet, this one is much harder by all means. May your faith engulf your thoughts and bring you great comfort and ultimately peace. Great sympathies to Kirk's immediate family and . of course, prayers for my dear friend, Laura . so very, very, very sorry for this loss. May Kirk rest in peace and his memory be eternal . until you all meet, again. God Bless You all.

My heart breaks for the entire Blunck family. I have always thought of them as a class act. So intelligent, artistic and nice people. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

When ever Kirk came into 5th Steet Finds he was usually looking for antique lighting or hardware for a project. His passion for restoration was clear. And it was shared by his Mom and sister Laura -- their shop was in 5th Street Finds too. Miss seeing you all there. Thoughts and prayers to you all.

Dearest Blunck Family,
We are devastated to learn the news of Kirks death
while out of town. Kirk was brilliant and always challanged you for the right answer. I adored working with him on Brown Camp Lofts. Definitely a visionary! A class of his own. His family a treasure, we love and support you all.
Sincere codolances with love and respect,
Kristi and Bill Lozier

Sorry for your loss. I didn't know Kirk well, but fondly remember being in Art Class with him at Lincoln. He signed my yearbook by painting a picture and signing his name. I always thought that was special. Prayers to the family.

Kirk was a quiet, brave, creative designer whose leadership immeasurably enriched Des Moines, Iowa and beyond. He will be sorely missed. I join many in extending sincere sympathy to his family and colleagues.

Kirk was an outstanding student in my math classes in the early 70s. He was one of my best students of that decade. His achievements in architecture are phenomenal. He was taken from this life too soon and will be missed by his family, friends, and colleagues. May you relive the wonderful memories shown in the memorial video. May he rest in peace. Amen.

Kaitlin, I was so sad to hear of your father's passing. I don't know if you remember me, I was your Spanish teacher at Merrill. I also went to high school with your dad and remember his kindness and great big smile. I lost both my brothers recently and unexpectedly, and my heart goes out to you and your family in this great loss.

Kirk was a visionary and such a compassionate man. I will never forget how kind he was to Mike and I, and that infinite smile that always existed every time I saw him. I will forever be grateful for him supplying an 'institution' and creative place at the Locust Tap for us to discover our common interests and bond as a LT family. Rest in peace Kirk.
May your family and friends find solace in all of the positive memories and experiences that you supplied to each of them.
