Kirby was an avid outdoorsman and master craftsmen and never passed up an opportunity to go fishing. Kirby enjoyed life to the fullest. He loved doing yard work, planting flowers, feeding the humming birds, building the most unique things, and riding his motorcycle. He was a strong, kind, and loving man that cherished his children dearly. Kirby was also a man of deep faith. We have no doubt that he is rejoicing in heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him.
