Judy and family.
Kirk was just an all around great guy. We remodeled a home about 7 years ago and bought everything thru Kirk at Lowes. He spoke of his children and Judy how you had so much back trouble. I am in the same boat. Kirk will be truly missed, keep all the great memories close to you. I only regret we never got to go out to eat together like he and I talked about. God Bless all of you. Regretfully we will not make the service to be in Columbus to watch our grandson.

Judy and family we share in your loss of someone who left much sooner then anyone could ever have thought he would. But we know he's in a much better place and peacefully at rest. I know this doesn't make any of you feel any better at this time but in time it will. We miss him and give all of you our condolences.
