William 'Bo' Tyrus John Kirk, 41

William “Bo” Tyrus John Kirk — husband, father, son, brother and friend — was suddenly taken from us on Saturday, Oct. 22, 2016, in Hayden, Idaho. He was 41 years old and touched the lives of many people with his smile and generosity; he maintained his trademark sense of humor all the way to the end.

A celebration of life will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, 2016, at Quail Run Ranch, 506 North Quail Ave., Newport, Wash.

Bo Kirk was born in San Diego, Calif., to William John Kirk and Evelia Medina on April 29, 1975. He graduated from Priest River Lamanna High School in Priest River, Idaho, in 1993. Bo married Amanda June Weber on Aug. 20, 1994, in Newport. He graduated from Carrington College in 2012 with a degree in radiologic technology. Bo worked as a Radiologic Technologist for Northwest Specialty Hospital in Post Falls, Idaho, and Newport Hospital in Newport for four years. He was active in softball, golf and had bragging rights as the “champion” in cornhole. By far his biggest accomplishment was his love and commitment to his family and friends.

Bo was the beloved husband of Amanda Kirk. He will be forever remembered by his devoted sons, Bryan Kirk (Jessica Kirk) and Dylan Kirk; and his loving daughter Chelsi Kirk. Bo is also survived by his grandfather, William Odom Kirk; his mother, Evelia Medina; his father, William John Kirk; stepmother Belinda Kirk; sister Claudia Jackson; half-brother Cameron Kirk; half-sister Michelle Richardson; stepsisters Amy Churchill, DeAnn Endicott and Cynthia Bogner; caring in-laws Sharon Weber and Jim Weber; numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many other family and friends.

Bo was a pure, bright, dedicated man. He was the most giving, selfless person you would ever meet. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone if he thought they were in need. He had the ability to make people feel loved and genuinely special. Most everyone in his life had a special nickname and he never forgot it.

Bo will always be a treasured gift to the Coeur d’Alene and surrounding communities and his lessons will live on in the hearts of those he blessed. To his family, his traditions, values, memories, laughter and unconditional love will leave a void that will never be replaced. The twinkle in his eye and his contagious smile will live on forever in their hearts and memories. He is now joyfully waiting for the day that his beloved family joins him.

Rest in peace “Big Daddy Slim.”
