Kirby was kind, considerate and completely devoted to his family and friends. He would do anything for anyone in need, at any time of the day or night, even if it meant he did without.
Kirby was much loved by his family, and he loved and enjoyed spending time with them.

We love you both. So very sorry for your loss. You and Matt are in our prayers.
I’m so sad to hear this. Prayers to the family.
I was so sorry and shocked to learn of Kirby’s passing. I remember Kirby on the first day in my classroom as a Freshman asking if there was anything he could do to help. We shred the same birthday. He always brought a Snowball cupcake to me on our shared birthday. He even did this for awhile after he graduated. My heart goes out to his family.
We Will sure miss you Kirby! You will be in our ❤️
Kirby and I would hang out for hours listening to music and talking. He was a great friend. I’m sorry that we lost touch after high school, but I thought of him frequently. Rose, David and Matt you all are in my thoughts.
I am so sorry! I haven’t seen Kirby in several years, however, because of all the time I spent with him when he was little, he will always have a special place in my heart.
