Born on December 20, 1954, to the late Robert and Barbara (née Wellman) Turek, Kirk proudly served in the Navy. He had a passion for building model cars, collecting, and working on bike and small engine repairs. Above all, he cherished the time spent with his family, loving them wholeheartedly. His warmth and kindness will be deeply missed.
