Rev. Kirby Hayes

Rest in Peace, Kirby. You are, and will continue to be, sorely missed.

It was such a privilege to hear Reverend Hayes speak. He was an inspiration to all. Sending prayers of comfort to the family at this difficult time.

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

Kirby was a wonderful, kind person, and he made us feel so welcome when we were a young couple first living in Baldwin. He enjoyed having him as our minister and neighbor for many years. He will always be remembered as a caring person who touched our lives and many others. The Knoll Family

Kirby was one of my favorite parts of going to church growing up. What wonderful memories. He was always so patient, kind and accepting. Sending his family much love. -Lauren Browne

Kirby was so special in my life! He and Pinky came to Riley when I was mine or maybe ten. I even remember a few of his messages. He was especially good to our family when my sister in law was injured and later died in that terrible house fire. God bless and be with your family!

I did not have the pleasure of personally knowing Kirby but I knew of him. A life well lived! My deepest sympathy to his family. Sorry to lose a Gamma Theta Delt.
