Kirk was born on October 8, 1966 in Jackson, TN. He graduated from Union University with a B.A in Education in 1993 and was a member of the Tennessee Eta Chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. He later graduated from Trevecca Nazarene University with a M.E. in Administration in 1999.
Kirk was a dedicated and passionate educator. He reached the lives of many students over the span of his career as a youth director, teacher, coach, athletic director and assistant principal. Throughout his life, Kirk was an equally dedicated and passionate University of Tennessee football fan. He will always be remembered for wearing the trademark Vols orange and shouting “Go Vols!” at every opportunity he could- even at his wedding.
