He loved God and was a dedicated disciple and shared the love of Christ with all who knew him. 

Kirk is survived by his devoted wife, Ann; beloved brother, Mark; loving niece, Cheyenne; nephews Eric Jr and Jared; cousins of the Speicher, Curtis, and Campbell families; and best friends Mike and Toni and their children, Joshua, Adam & Benjamin.  A brother, Eric; an infant sister, and parents, Patricia & Tom have pre-deceased him.
