So I just want to say that this is very touching and I'm sorry this has happened to a human being.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637458215129347182.post-1773413148032506872011-06-09T09:10:10.930-05:002011-06-09T09:10:10.930-05:00I knew Kirk very well and considered him a friend ...I knew Kirk very well and considered him a friend during our time in the Air Force at DLI in Monterey and in Korea together. He was honest, a real gentleman, took his job seriously and we enjoyed having him in our life. He never spoke of any issues growing up and kept personal things private. I am glad to have known him and cannot believe the tragic events and the things he went through. I miss you Kirk and I would like to pass my condolences to his family. You were blessed with a great man for a brother.Brent M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637458215129347182.post-24591530583984997502011-06-07T18:38:06.508-05:002011-06-07T18:38:06.508-05:00I also knew Kirk in the Air Force (Hi, Michael).

His story and those of so many friends who grew up feeling like there was something wrong with them just because they were gay led me to become an LGBT advocate and also prepared me for the conversation when my not yet teen son came out to me. My family and I will be watching tonight.Roddi Chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08579805529172857617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637458215129347182.post-17817305776993408322011-06-07T15:40:18.021-05:002011-06-07T15:40:18.021-05:00I knew your brother in the Air Force.

Through his story, that someone's closed heart will open, accepting and embracing our differences. May it bring a touch of peace to your family. With love, to Kirk.<br />SkyeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03000005184934508890noreply@blogger.com
