Fond memories of taking Pat and my son, Russ, to basketball practices. Pat was always so appreciative and respectful, which greatly impressed me. May the God of all comfort and help be near to his family in the midst of this loss. Psalm 23. George and Crys Mcfarland

I had the privilege of coaching young Pat for two seasons. He was bright, had a great sense of humor and was a hard worker. I am saddened by his passing.

My condolences to the entire Kirby Family. Be strong. He is in God's loving arms now.
