Don, I've not seen you in years, but you will be missed. I worked wth you for several years and it was the best time I've ever had while at work. You taught us all that worked with you how to stay real.

Pops, I miss you so much, words can't even explain it. I know your right where you want to be with Marlowe and Thomas. And I know your happy. I just wish I had the chance to say bye. The glades will never ever be the same without you, and it's going to be extremely hard going by your camp. I miss you so much and I cant wait to see you again, give Marlowe a hug for me. Look after me, even though I know you'll be the most amazing gaurdian angel! I love you!

I am really sad about the loss of "Pops". Growing up together with his kids since we were babies and being so close when we were kids. Not to long ago I was looking at pictures of Rich and I when we were just a few years old at a birthday party. It was like our second home growing up across the street from each other. Marlowe and Don were like a second set of parents. Those kind of memories will never die! My sympathies go out to Richard, Donna and thier families. Love you guys!!! Take Care!!

SO LONG POPS YOU WILL BE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTEN

When I was hired as an Oakland Park Firefighter, the firefighters discovered I was an airboater, the first questioned they asked  "do you know Don Kirk?" I did not know Don, I was introduced to him at a Christmas Party at Executive Airport. He invited my wife Sheryl and me to his table with his wife Marlowe and their friends. Sheryl and my life changed that night.  We talked and laughed all night, then made plans to go airboating in Area 2A. Don owned the Four Moons Camp, we stopped there for awhile. 15 other airboats stopped by, I could not beleive how many friends he had. I asked his good friend Ralph if it was always like this, he said yes and there are many more. That was an understatement. Everyone knew and loved Don and Marlowe. My wife Sheryl and I spent the next 11 years meeting their friends. Don loved his family and the family dinners, birthdays and special events were the only things that kept him from the swamp. He loved the Everglades, but the swamp took a backseat to his family. He was very proud of Richard, Thomas and Donna. His Grandchildren Samantha,Jessica and C. J. He was devoted to Leola, his Mother in Law. If you knew Don, then I am just repeating what you already know. I will miss him and I will cherish all of the good times we had. I am glad I was lucky enough to meet Don, his family and friends, I spoke to Don the Friday before his passing. He was fully alert and we talked for two hours. It was clear to me he wanted to join Marlowe and Thomas. He told me everything would work out. I am sad for all of Don's family and friends, but I am happy for Don. He is where he wants to be. God Bless you Don, and say hello to Marlowe and Thomas from Sheryl and Bruce.

I was a neighbor when a teenager and Don was like a father figure to me. He especially taught me the outdoors, and the value of helping others. He  (and Marlowe) will be missed.

As the days and weeks pass and as you return to lifes routine may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.- Psalm 34:18

We are deeply saddened of the loss of Don Kirk. Our condolences are extended to his family. Don was a wonderful man. My husband grew up next to him most of his life as a neighbor and friend. Don taught my husband many of his good qualities that he has and trades he has learned from Don. We watched all the children of his grow up to fine individuals he taught well. He would give you the shirt off his back and helped you in any way he could. We share a lifetime of memories with the Kirk's and will treasure and hang on to those memories forever.  Don we will miss you. Until we meet again.
Love,
Alan & Debbie Herod

My "other" Pops will be greatly missed. He was a great guy who taught me a lot growing up with Richard and Thomas. Skip Ruffini
