Kirby’s Story

Site created on November 5, 2023

“We cannot stop the waves of grief from coming, but we can learn to surf them.”   ~Glen Lord

Dear Friends,

Our hearts are heavy with the loss of Kirby, our friend, husband, father, brother, colleague, teacher.

We are very sorry if this is the first you’ve learned of Kirby’s passing. Getting the word out to all who knew and loved him is challenging for his family during this very difficult time.

Kirby had a surfing accident on November 2, 2023. Though heroic efforts were made to revive Kirby, he slipped from us on November 6.

Kirby is an organ donor; we hope, and find some comfort knowing, that our loss may result in a better life for others.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the future with a date yet to be determined.

This Caring Bridge page is for friends to share memories  and photos of Kirby and support Tammy, Evan, Amara, and Kirby’s brother Mark and sister Sabrina and their families.

Thank you for visiting.
