When I was a student at the Prep, there were several "brethren" that you looked forward to seeing at school everyday, and Chris Kirby was one of those people for me. He always had a great attitude, was friendly to all, and could always make us laugh. I just recently learned of his passing (via the Prep newsletter) and it really struck me. He was a really great guy. His children should be very proud that Chris was their Dad. He will be sorely missed by all.

To the family and friends of Chris Kirby, may I offer these words of comfort: “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal.” Keep Christopher close to your heart, and he will always be near.
