I'm shocked and saddened to hear of Kirk's passing. My deepest condolences to Cheryl, his boys and family. Kirk was a best friend of my stepdad, Michael Connell. I've always admired and respected him. He was an amazing person. Strong, confident, intelligent, kind, loving, always a pleasure to talk to and be around, awesome sense of humor, one of the most positive people I've ever met. I had fun working with him while I studied at Dal. He was a cool boss. I'm very grateful for our friendship and all he has done for me, Michael, my friends and family. Thank you, Kirk. Rest In Peace ❤️ Chad

I'm saddened to hear the passing of Kirk. My deepest sympathy to Cheryl and family.

Still so hard to believe. Kirk was an amazingly kind, generous and caring person and such a big part of my childhood. He was nice enough to let us rowdy kids hang out at the house everyday, he was always making us laugh with his steady stream of jokes. He was a true joy to be around. He even gave me my first job out of high-school. This is such a terrible loss for the entire city. I wish I said this bekfore it was too late but thank you for everything you did for me, Kirk. I will never forget it. You will be greatly missed.

Our deepest condolences to Cheryl and family. We were very sad to hear of Kirk's passing through a mutual friend. He was my age, so this truly hit home with me. I know we lost touch after that one very special visit several years ago, but we are still grateful for that day, as it meant everything to us. Cheryl, Brock, Cody & Devan, we are very sorry for your loss. Gone to soon. xo Maureen, Evan and Brandon

Condolences to the family. I worked with Kirk at the HRSB. I admired him for his thoughtful dialogue, his willingness to stand for his beliefs and his focus on improving education for students. He was a strong voice for the Mi'kmaw and I learned so much from him. May he Rest In Peace and may his family find strength in the memories they made.

Dear Cheryl and all family, I am truly shocked and saddened to read of Kirk's passing. For about a decade ('96-2006) Kirk provided snow clearance for our (4) driveways on LeMarchant St., and I came to know him quite well during our long talks in the very early hours of winter days. I had the deepest respect for him--always showing up, talking about his love for you, Cheryl, and concern for the boys growing up safely, even volunteering as a hockey coach to ensure they would come to no harm during their sports involvements. He had a wonderful work ethic and value system. I cannot imagine what a hole is left in your lives by his too-early departure, and offer my heartfelt condolences to you all during this difficult transition. Ann Wetmore
