Joseph Roy "Joe" Kirkman

Mr. Kirkman was a wonderful teacher who helped foster my love for math. He was my AG teacher at Franklin Elementary and the high point of each and every day was getting to go to his class. He had a good soul and a heart for teaching and I will always remember him and the great times we had in his class.

Mr. Kirkman was my G/T (Gifted & Talented) Teacher when I was at Franklin Elementary several years ago. He was an extremely talented teacher and person. I know he motivated and challenged many, many students in his teaching career to go above and beyond their potential. I pray for peace and comfort for his family during this time. God bless you!

I am a student of Mrs. Kirkman, and I would like to express my deep sympathy for Mr. Kirkman's passing. I am sorry that I couldn't make it to the funeral, but if there is anything I or my family can do, please let me know.

I was a student of Mr. Kirkman's this school year at Pilot Mountain Middle School. We will miss him very much. He was a very good teacher. My family and I wish to send our sympathy to his wife and family. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
