Barb Porter wanted us to know that Kirk Porter passed away February 26. He had been in the hospital twice during February; once with flu and pneumonia and again with a broken hip. Complications set in after he was moved to a nursing home.

Kirk was always helping people and I had a high respect level for him.....he would write to me on the world political issues. I found Kirk to be warm and kind....I will miss his news

Kirk was a friend to so many. He was so nice when we went to Valley Jr high. We went to school only a couple years and then I moved, but Kirk and I got in touch and spent many emails together. Extremely intelligent but a very kind man. I’m sorry to hear of his passing. My heart goes out to you Barbara.

Oh, so sorry to hear about Kirk. I remember him well. I didn't know he was into horses like I am. We would have had a lot to talk about. He could have helped me train my Missouri Fox Trotter, Sugarfoot, when I purchased him as a 6-year-old in 2004. Kirk would have loved him as I do. I still have Sugarfoot, and he's doing well as a now 20-year-old gelding. Can't wait until spring so I can trail ride again on our many scenic trails here in the Spokane area.

So very sorry to hear that Kirk has passed away. Had a good visit with him and Barb last fall when I, and a few others, met at a restaurant for breakfast. They just happened to be there at the same time so we ate together; what a nice surprise it was to find them there. It was fun talking with Kirk and to meet you, Barb. I'm so sorry for your loss. May your memories bring you comfort. God bless.
