Kirk was the epitome of a good human. His kindness and calming spirit never wavered. His devotion to his wife, children, grandchildren, sisters and mother-in-law was unconditional.

Kirk spent his whole life working in the IT/Programming field where his love for computers and technology served him as a means to provide for his family and his passions. He recently was employed with the State of Iowa. When not working, he spent a multitude of hours fulfilling his dedication and enthusiasm to teaching Tae Kwon Do where he achieved a 3rd degree Blackbelt and was known as Master Kirk.

When he wasn’t working (which was rare) he enjoyed science fiction, computers, traveling, video games, cards 3-13, DIY woodworking projects but most of all he would seize every minute spending time with his family.
