Kirk William Krack was a caring and loving husband, father, papa, brother and friend to all that knew him. Kirk passed away on Sunday, February 6, 2022 at the age of 71. He was born August 24, 1950 to Laveina A Krack and William L. Krack in Dupo, Illinois. He lived in Pine Bluff and worked for Interstate Brands (Wonder Bread) for 32 years before retiring to Hot Springs to live on Lake Hamilton.
Kirk is survived by his beautiful wife and the love of his life, Brenda Ballard Krack. They met in high school and married on March 5, 1971. They have two children, a daughter Chrystal Love Duncan (Mike) and a son Tracy Louis Krack (fiancé Kelly Nelson), that he loved and cherished very much. He also has three grandsons that he adored: Micah Duncan, Malachi Duncan and Brayden Krack. He leaves behind two sisters Rose Ahrens and Debra Ann Krack, as well as many cousins and nephews.
Kirk enjoyed living life to the fullest whether it was traveling in their motorhome or boating on the lake, just spending time with family or friends outdoors. His funny sense of humor and teasing was just one of the ways you knew he loved you and anyone around him could tell.
Kirk loved the Lord with all his heart and was a member of First Baptist Church in Hot Springs, Arkansas. He loved their connect group led by Jim Greene, teacher and dear friend. He loved helping people even if he didn’t know you. It was not unusual to see him helping someone with something at the store, loading it in their buggy or car just to be of help. He will be greatly missed by all as his heart just played out, but Jesus was there to welcome him home with open arms.
Their little 5-pound min pin, “Gidget” is a daddy’s girl, she loved him with all her heart and he felt the same about his baby Gidget. As she grieves with Brenda and the children please continue to keep them in your prayers.
