HEATHER,DUSTIN,LITTLE MAN/KIRBY:
YOUR DAD IS A TRUE LIFE HERO!

Though I never met Little Man's Daddy, I know that he and his family must be going through such a rough time right now. To lose someone even naturally is hard to understand, especially if the life is taken by something as evil as the way Kirby went. Please remember that his soul is now with our great creator and that he is watching over you all now with our Lord. My prayers are with your family as you now turn to each other and your faith for comfort. God Bless

Kirby and I were best of friends way back when at Hardaway High School. I'll never forget riding in his old pick-up truck with the words "I hate super-heads" hand painted on the bumper. For kicks we used to look for people walking on the side of the road, then Kirby would make the truck back-fire just as we got along side of them. They would just about jump out of their skin and we'd laugh our heads off. (of course we were just teenagers).
Most of my good memories from high school involve Kirby. You couldn't ask for a better friend.
I'll miss you Kirbeye.
Terreye.

I've known Kirby since 1978. I used to live close to his home off of Morningside drive and would hang out with him in his shop. He built a rail job dune buggy for me and we used to ride quite a bit. Time and distance seperated us and eventually we lost touch with one another. Seeing that he's gone saddens me. I should have been a better friend. I will miss him.

"Little Kirby" and Family
I was very saddened to here of the lost of your father.
It was always a joy in my heart to look up and see Kirby and "Little Kirby" coming in the gates at the Go-Kart tracks with that BIG yellow trailer and out of that big trailer; came this precious little Yart Kart for "Little Kirby" to race. It brought joy to my heart to see a Father and Son bond like those two did.
"Little Kirby" I know this will be a very hard time for you with your Father gone, but hold on to your memories and know that your Father loved you very much...
