Given his profound knowledge of construction and the ability to understand how things worked, he was always fixing something for someone, and commonly called “Mr. Fix It,” because it wasn't broken until he said it was broken. Kirk’s hands were not just skilled in construction, but he also embraced numerous hobbies that brought him joy, including restoring classic cars, woodworking, and spending time with his family at their Dale Hollow Lake house.

A graduate of Miamisburg High School and Montgomery County JVS, class of 1978, Kirk carried the values of hard work and dedication into his career.
