After a valiant seven-year struggle with cancer, Kirk Webster Seitz died in Bozeman at 10:30 p.m. on the Ides of March, Friday the 15th, surrounded by his family; he was such an attentive guy that even in his final moments he seemed to have waited for his niece, Sabina, who had gotten off a plane...

Not sure what to say?

Although 8 years have passed, Kirk is still missed by freinds and family alike. Generous to a fault! Quick with an alternate point-of-view and smiled easily. I am thankful for our time together and know we will meet up again one day.

I can't believe it's been 7 years since Kirk's been gone ! He is often in my thoughts, whenever I think of Cornell or diving or other places his stories touched. There is always a laugh and now a sadness attached. Yesterday a friend mentioned the possibility of another Cornell diving reunion, and the very first thing that came to my mind was the chance to remember Kirk with a toast in front of all who would be there. I wasn't even at Cornell when Kirk was there, but he still managed to...

It was a blessing to know Kirk. In the short window of time that I dove with him on the Cornell team, he put a 'Kirk Seitz' stamp on my life. So glad I got to vist with him at Rick's retirement. Thank you Kirk for your free spirit...I can still hear you now.

OMG ... Where to start? I sit here in a state of shock, sad & confess I'm brushing a few tears aside. Our friendship began freshman year @ Cornell (diving buddies). We became fast firends (like there is another kind with Kirk?). We spent countless hours together at Teagle, on road trips (always hated going to Dartmouth) or spending "quality" time enjoying cold adult beverages. To Kirk's family & friends - I can appreciate how large a void there must be in your lives. He isn't far away though,...

I always enjoyed seeing Kirk at our diving reunions - full of fun and a bit of mischief! His memory will always bring a smile to my face.

Often times since I saw him last, five (?) years ago, I have thought of Kirk, tried to contact him to visit when in his area, but it never came off. When he told me about the cancer, he did so without drama and without losing a whit of his usual sense of humor, and we just went off as usual to play at the pool, restaurant, and sharing other Cornell sites together. His enthusiasm for life, fun, and intimate contact with his friends never wavered from what it had always been, perhaps even...

Our deepest condolences, Matt Leone and Family

Rick and I are so sorry to hear about Kirk's passing. Thrilled we were able to see him last year. Rest!

So sorry to hear of Kirk's passing- although I only met him a few times, he was so gentle and sincere. My deepest sympathy to Marie and his extended family.
