Kurt Volk Obituary

VOLK KURT R., MD, born in St. Louis on April 13, 1954, passed away May 27, 2018 following a fall at his home. Dr. Volk was a son of Glenn Volk and the late Ruth Haenel Volk. He is survived by his wife, Donna Horn, PhD, son Glenn (partner, Sierra Borghi), daughter Leah (husband, Hugh McBride), sister Linda (husband Jack Eaves), brother Craig (partner Belinda Singleton), nephews Ethan and Brandon Eaves, nieces Sierra and Sky Weld and Keleigh Mills and a large clan of cousins. Kurt enjoyed a long career practicing internal medicine and was much loved by his patients. He was most recently a cattle farmer, embracing country living with great enthusiasm. Kurt loved his family, everybody's kids, dogs, cats, cows and sailboats. He was a kind, faithful friend who couldn't tell a joke without laughing at it himself. May he laugh and rest in peace. A celebration of Kurt's life will be held at the family's farm on Tates Creek Road this Saturday from 1 - 4 pm. Kurt volunteered at the Growing Together Preschool, Lexington, Kentucky. Memorial donations to this preschool may be made at mightycause.com
