One of the "good guys" of Eureka's Old Town. He recently made my 46-year-old wedding ring fit again. We spoke the afternoon before his trip. He was always friendly and pleasant and caring. A significant and sad loss for our community. My condolences to all family, friends, and customers.

We are greatly saddened of hearing about the loss of our first cousin, Kirk. We are sending our love and condolences to all of his family. Ray Davis is our Uncle. I, Violet Hall, have known Kirk since we were kids. We shared the same birthdate, but a different year. That was special. I'll always remember his sweet personality and contagious smile.
Sincerely, from the Freeman family. We live in Colorado and Nebraska.

I will miss Kirk very much. I stopped in the shop from time to time to look at the beautiful jewelry and chat with Kirk: he recently reset some diamonds on my ring. Kirk was always happy to share his knowledge. My condolences to you, his family. I hope you can eventually find some peace after this difficult loss.

Very kind man and striking blue eyes. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. He was the one I always took my jewelry to him for repair.
RIP. Condolences to family.

Kirk was an amazing family friend, when he was still at the pawn shop he created my custom wedding band to go with my engagement ring. I always made a point to stop in the old town shop and see him when I was in town. I am saddened by his loss. He was a wonderful, happy spirit.

Kirk was the best man in our Wedding. It been a long time since I have seen him but we have great memories of Kirk. He was a sweet, sweet man. As others have said, I always remember him with a smile on his face. He was taken too soon. Our hearts go out to Sara, Kyle and his Grand-babies. Much love from Michele and Johnny Caruso.

Not more than a month ago,Kirk refurbished my yellow diamond ring. He said that it had been,"tricky" to do. I enjoyed stopping bye his store. He was always so kind and yes, he did have those beautiful blue sparling eyes. RIP my friend.

Hearing of Kirk's death was very sad news. I met Kirk when he put an intricate spring in my wedding ring which was genius! It's no wonder he was a goldsmith as he had a heart of solid gold! And his blue eyes twinkled when he'd say, "I take Visa". I will treasure the pieces he made & wear them with fondness. RIP, Kirk.

I am very sad to hear this news. I really liked Kirk's gentle humor and easy-going manner, and he always did such an excellent job with jewelry repairs and helping me find the perfect bracelet. I didn't realize he was a member of the Masonic Lodge, but it doesn't surprise me that he quietly gave service to others. I am one among many who will really miss him in Old Town.

Kirk was a happy guy had a smile for everyone. Hard working. Great sense of humor made you laugh. He loved his family with all his heart. He was so good to his mother. Davis family you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Kirk was such a nice guy and also my go to jewelry guy and he always was ready to make me a good deal on whatever I was buying.....Such a sad, sad loss...and so hard to imagine walking into the store and not seeing his smiling face. Today is my birthday and I remember last year on this day he bought our dinner as we were with some friends out and about in Eureka. RIP my friend......

Kirk was my "Go to guy" for all things jewelry. I still have a ring that he designed back when he was still at the Pawn Shop. I just recently stopped in there and talked with him. He was always pleasant, had a great personality and was honest when I asked him a question. The world lost a great man.

Unfortunately I never got to know Kirk even though I am his cousin. But I know his mother and father and if Kirk was anything like them, he had to be a very special person. Never are we ready to let go of our loved ones. I know he will be missed forever by all. RIP Kirk

Kirk was my go-to guy for all things jewelry! He never quaked at the site of my latest pile of sparklys that needed to be repair or prettied! I have no idea what we will all do without him.
