John Thomas Kirk

It is with undescribable sadness and heartache that we announce that on Thursday, January 14th, 2021, John (Johnny) Thomas Kirk III, loving husband, father, son and grandfather, passed away unexpectantly. Johnny was born August 2, 1967 in Indianapolis, IN, the son of Lowell Thomas and Patricia JoAnne (Lewis) Kirk.

Johnny graduated from Carmel High School in 1986 and has worked in his family’s business, John Kirk Furniture, since he was 16 years old. He loved to be around people and had an incredible talent for finding the perfect furniture and design for his customers. He never knew a stranger and always had a genuine smile and a one of a kind laugh. He was a very generous and kind man who loved his wife, children, family and friends with all his heart. Johnny had the kind of spirit that would do anything for you. His passions included being on the water, boating, camping and spending time with the love of his life (Denise), his children, family and friends.

Johnny is survived by his loving wife Denise, his children Kylee (Grant) Leiendecker, Karsen Kirk, Klaudia Kirk, Klara Kirk, Katheryn Rutherford and Jonathan Rutherford; grandchildren Luke, Louise and Lucy Leiendecker; sister Tami Mitchell and niece Robin Mitchell. He was preceded in death by his grandparents John and Edith Kirk and Robert and Janet Lewis, brother-in-law Mark Mitchell.

There will be a Celebration of Life later this Spring to celebrate Johnny with all of those whose lives he touched.

He will forever be missed but never forgotten.
