Bryan Edward Kirk

August 10, 1973, to August 12, 2024

Bryan passed away on August 12, 2024, in Wichita Falls, Texas.  He was born in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. He grew up in Vernon, Texas.  He was the love of Rina's life, and she was the love of his life!!

Born in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, he was the son of Howard Kirk and the late Diane Mulick.  He attended Vernon High School and graduated from Midwestern State University with a master's degree in nursing.  He worked at the NTSH as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner for 26 years. He was awarded employee of the quarter in May of 2009, an accomplishment he was most proud.  He had a passion for trains (named after his grandfather, Edward was a retired Union Pacific Railroad conductor) and as much as he loved being a Nurse Practitioner he jokingly but seriously told us that he wanted to be a sanitation driver for the city!!

He is survived by "the love of his life" (his words), Rina; his father, Howard Kirk, and his wife Kris Kirk; along with his two children, Bree and Molly Kirk.  Bryan was a huge fan of the Chicago Cubs, but his favorite sports team of all time was the Chicago Bears.  He was a quiet man but never too quiet to share his wealth of information of all things, SPORTS!  He would tell us "they (the Bears) just sucked!"  Bryan is also survived by his sisters, Kymberly Cullar (Chloe, Claire, and Connor Edward). Kelly Toris (Olivia, Sophia, and Natalia), and Kristen Caplinger and her husband, John. (Hannah, Jonah, Jeriah, and Priscilla).  His great nieces; Layla Jo Cullar and Eliana Cullar, great nephews Jeremiah and John Caplinger and his and Rina's buddy (son as they referred to him), Bear (yes named for his passion of the Chicago Bears!!) his beloved Saint Bernard.

Bryan was preceded in death by his mother, Diane Mulick.

Bryan's long time family childhood friends: Phillip Morrison, Jason Nava and his brothers (Billy, Bryan, and Brandon) Joseph Robeson and Martin Valverde.

A memorial service will be held in his honor this Saturday, August 17th at 11:00 a.m. at Lunn's Funeral Home, 2812 Midwestern Parkway, Wichita Falls.
