Rivet Funeral Home & Crematorium Inc. - Merrimack Obituary

Taylor A. Kirk, 26, passed away on October 27, 2021 in the comfort of his home in Merrimack, NH following a long and courageous battle with brain cancer. He was born October 10, 1995, in Bangor, ME, the son of Peter Kirk II and Andrea (Pierce) Waterman.


Taylor graduated from Biddeford High School, Class of 2013. After high school, he studied engineering at the University of New Hampshire, earning his Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering in 2017. He passionately pursued his career as an Airport Engineer with Hoyle, Tanner & Associates Inc. in Manchester, NH.


Taylor was known for his intelligence, witty sense of humor and kind heart. He had a profound love for good food and craft beer. He enjoyed cars, traveling and spending quality time with friends and family. He felt that life should be lived to the fullest. As Taylor would say, “I’m here for a good time, not a long time.”


Taylor is survived by his loving wife, Jessica Kirk; his father Peter Kirk II, step-mother Sarah Kirk, and mother Andrea Waterman; his sisters Krista Johnston and Tamara Cummings. Furthermore, he leaves his paternal grandparents, Peter and Susan Kirk and his maternal grandparents, Janice and Peter Grant. In addition, he is survived by his mother and father-in-law, Jacqueline and Kevin Mulhern; sister and brother-in-law’s, Kimberly and Michael Nicastro and Angela and Jorge Bracero. He also leaves behind his beloved great-grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.


Taylor requested to be cremated. Calling hours will be Saturday from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. at Rivet Funeral Home & Crematorium in Merrimack. A Celebration of Life will follow at John O'Leary Adult Community Center in Merrimack.


Flowers may be sent to Rivet Funeral Home & Crematorium at 425 Daniel Webster Highway, Merrimack, NH 03054 and donations in Taylor’s name may be sent to Stache Strong via their website support.stachestrong.org

Not sure what to say?

The world has lost a very unique person, but at the same time we were beyond lucky to have him for the time he was here. I worked with him for 3 years, and he not only proved a resourceful and talented individual, but also became a good friend. We'd spend time (probably too much at work) chatting about topics that spanned the galaxy. He always had an interesting take on just about everything, and was a joy to converse with. He was a key player on one of the biggest projects I've had in my...

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Taylor was an Intern for us at the Town of Hudson Engineering Dept. a couple years back while he was a student at UNH. He was such a kind and fun spirited person, and gave 100% to everything he did. We all really enjoyed working with him and were inspired by his positive attitude, his strength, and his determination to make the best of every day. Please take comfort in knowing that he touched the lives of many people and will always be fondly...

Words simply cannot express my sympathies to Taylor's family for losing him so young. My heart goes out to Jess and all of Taylor's family that I recently got to know. May all of his memories give you comfort and a smile. I unfortunately didn't know Taylor personally for that long but I have heard wonderful stories of his adventures spent with close friends. I will cherish my memories of Taylor and will always think of him when having a Spyglass brew. Taylor strong....Taylor forever!

Pete, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this hard time. We are so sorry for your loss and pray that the memories of all the good times will bring you all some comfort.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss Jess and to the Mulhern and Kirk family. I did not know Taylor personally, but your Mom talked about the two of you alot. It's going to be difficult for you, but try to remember all the good times you shared. Lean on your family and friends for support as I know they are there for you.

1-2-2018 Lunch with Taylor on his first day at work.

Jessica, I am so very sorry for your loss. I was lucky enough to be a co-worker with Taylor. He was funny and smart and a great addition to our team. We went out to lunch with Taylor his first day at work and I have attached a picture from that lunch, which was on 1-2-2018. He will be greatly missed.

Peter and Sarah, We were so sad to hear of the loss of your dear son Taylor. We send our deepest condolences and love to you both. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Dan & Kitty
