"I remember meeting Kirk in junior high and being invited to a party at his house. Mountain Dew on ice and chips in the bowl. The 45 of Steve Martin's "King Tut" was playing. It is amazing that what seems to be insignificant to one is a mountain to another. This is one way Kirk touched those around him. My sympathies to your family and all whom he left behind. Salut my friend!"
In loving memory of

Tributes
"My deepest sympathy goes out to the Brownell family on the loss of Kirk. I didn't learn of his passing until November 2008 when I returned to Webster City for my grandmother's passing. The Brownell family were neighbors of my grandparents and Kirk and Eric were my classmates. My deepest sympathies to all who knew Kirk and his great personality!!!"
"You been gone 6 months now. Its tough down here without you!"
