Read MoreI am shocked to see Kirk has passed. I have worked with Kirk, and he has also been my attorney. He was always super nice and helpful. Kirk offered to sponsor me if I attended law school. I can't believe he's gone.

I met Kirk in 1992 in the under 39 men´s Sunday School class. We became friends, played cards together and when I needed legal help he was there. Kirk was a man of integrity, a man of God and a friend. I hope one day to see him again on the streets of glory.

With sympathy to the family. Kirk was a kind and polite Christian man. His smiling face will be missed by many in Stanford. I first met him when he came to Fairview Baptist.

Kirk was a one of a kind man always caring. Always smiling and wanting to help others. When he heard l had Cancer he would always find my husband and ask how l was doing and let us know he was praying for us. Will miss him so much but know he is finally healed. Until we meet again Kik.

I am an attorney in Danville and just learned of Kirk's passing. I am saddened by his loss. I have known him for years through the practice of law and always enjoyed seeing him - whether across the table in negotiations, across the courtroom in a case, or in the hallway of the courthouse. We both zealously represented our client and yet enjoyed seeing each other as fellow professionals. He was a fine man and a good soul.
