Kirk faced challenges and setbacks throughout his life and did so with great courage and an unfailing positive spirit. Kirk had such a beautiful soul that touched many lives. He had a smile that would light up a room. His sense of humor and ability to make you laugh was his strength, even during those challenging times.
