Kirk was a great leader and all-around stand-up guy. He hired me into McLeodUSA (MWR Telecom) and was one of the best bosses I've ever had. I learned much from him. Condolences to his family.

My deepest sympathies to the family of Kirk. I began working with Kirk when he came to Teleconnect and worked with him for several years. I have only good memories of Kirk. He was a kind person whom I am sure will be missed by many. Wishing all of you strength during this difficult time and warm memories to cherish. Kyle Schramp

Incredibly sorry to hear the passing of an incredibly kind person. Prayers up for family and loved ones. Had many great battles with Kirk on the basketball court and he always came out a winner even if team lost. Rest In Peace big fella. Job well done.

I'm so sorry to hear of Kirk's death. My dad was his high school basketball coach and thought a lot of Kirk. It meant the world to my mom when Kirk sent his condolences to her when my dad died. Prayers to you all!

Words will be never be enough to describe this man although he was a man of few words himself. A raised eyebrow was often his only response and it would make you laugh or convey any number of messages. He was the original emoji! He allowed us to experience many things in life that we would have never been able to because he found joy in bringing joy to others. However the best thing about any experience with Kirk was his mere company. We would have had the best time anywhere with him. We had a lot of fun teasing him about his crazy plaid shirts or shorts but J Crew would have put him on the cover- it's all about wearing it with confidence! We love this man and will miss him terribly so have asked him to find a little real estate in heaven for us to join him - until then. Rest In Peace Kirk:)

Renee & Kirk's family,
I am so sorry to hear of Kirk's untimely passing and although, I didn't know him well, I do remember being with him on family occasions. He was always so full of life and had such a great sense of humor. It is easy to see why he was so successful in life and will be sorely missed by so many. God bless and keep you at this sad and difficult time.
Prayers,
Robin Dunaway

To Kirk's family - I was so sad to learn of Kirk's passing. It was far too soon. In 1994, Kirk hired me to join the team at McLeodUSA - and changed my life. We had not stayed in touch after I left McLeodUSA, but I still rate him as one of my favorite bosses ever. He was just a darn good guy, and i know he made a difference in the lives of lots of people. My heart is heavy.

Kirk, please Rest in Peace. I really enjoyed working with you at McLeodUSA. You were such a great person to work with. I loved your boyish smile and how much you enjoyed building that business. We also had many moments enjoying each other's company in gyms as our daughters played 7th/8th grade basketball. Remember the time in DeWitt when the opposing team's Mother flew from the 4th row in the stands and landed on the court - and drew the technical foul? We will all miss you! You made positive, measurable impacts - and had fun!

Dear Renee: our sincere condolences to you and your family. We knew Kirk through the golf club, and always found him to be the most friendly, gracious, helpful, and fun person to be with. We'll miss him.

To All of Kirk's Loving Family. “Remember, that the life of a loved one is never lost. Its influence goes on, through all the lives, it ever touched.” That writing I received when my Father died, and I always share it when those closest to us have passed. It has never meant more to me, than now. Too long ago to remember the year, I met Kirk and Renee on a golf course at the Women’s Eastern Iowa Tournament. A reunion entailed each year thereafter, on the first Sunday in August. We would hunt each other down for that annual hug, as the day would not be complete until we crossed paths. Although there was a void this year, “Bigger than Life Kirk" will reside in all of our hearts. The world IS a better place because he had a chance to be in it. God Speed, My Friend.

I am saddened to hear of Kirk's passing. I worked with Kirk at McLeodUSA and am thankful for his coaching and his friendship. Kirk sincerely invested in people and guided many of us during a time that holds memories of a ton of hard work, done with enjoyment and passion. I will always remember that sense of humor that kept me going when I took myself too seriously. He talked often of family and his daughters and expressed a deep love for them. He helped us to not get so deeply entrenched in the work that we forgot who meant the most to us. I am grateful for knowing him and learning from him.

So sorry to hear this news. Kirk and I were dorm mates at Central College. He was a delight to be around. Made Gaas Hall a little more enjoyable to be in. - Again, My he rest in Gods arms.
