Kirk Hollar

Kirk loved life; friends and family called him “Big Fun” or “Cuddles”. He was a big fan of NC State Football and he played football with Newton-Conover High School from 1984 to 1987. Many of his fellow players surrounded him at hospice. Kirk had a very special love for Camp Linn Haven and volunteered there often. Kirk served as president for the Camp Linn Haven Booster Club. His greatest passion, though, was family time- especially the time that he spent with his son, Graham.
