Franklin "Mark" Kirk

Franklin “Mark” Kirk, 63, of Bloomingrose, WV went home to be with his Lord on December 1, 2023 after a long illness.

Mark was the son of the late Nellie Morris and Frank Kirk.  He was also preceded in death by his sister Lisa Lynne Kirk; grandparents; and numerous aunts and uncles.

Surviving is his beloved sister, Kim Kirk of Bloomingrose; aunt, Pamela Perdue (Charles), special cousins, Angel Adkins and Chris Perdue, Esther Pettry and Lydia Thibodaux whom Mark was like a brother too.; special friends, Ordy, Frank, AJ, and Kevin; and his beloved church family.  A special mention to his cat, Buddy, that gave him great joy.

Mark was a 1978 graduate of Sherman High School.  He retired from Kroger in Kanawha City.  He also worked at Walker Machinery, Walmart, Midtown Dental and was a chef at the Ramada Inn.  He was a member of the Racine United Methodist Church.  He loved his church and his church family. Mark loved sports.  He especially loved his Cincinnati Reds and Miami Dolphins.  He also loved bowling and was in a league for many years.  He also loved visiting the nursing  home in Danville to see his beloved Granny Grump.

While it is with heavy hearts we mark the passing of his life, we are comforted to know that he has been greeted by a mother, father, sister and his beloved dog Lucy who passed before him.  But more importantly, by the Lord.

Service will be 2 p.m. Monday, December 4^th at the Racine United Methodist Church at Racine with Pastor Daniel Light officiating.  Friends may call one hour prior to the service at the church with a dinner following the service.
