Born on August 20, 1944 in Mound Bayou, Mississippi to Flora Price and James Davis, Kirk was their only child and a man whose legacy is etched in the lives he touched. Kirk’s journey began with a dream of becoming a barber while studying in Detroit, Michigan. However, in 1962, life took a different turn when he was drafted into the Vietnam War. His service to this country was just the beginning of a life marked by dedication and quiet strength. Later, he began a long-standing career with the United States government, where he worked faithfully until retiring at the age of 62. After retirement, he continued to serve his community for five years at Harper Funeral Home. A true craftsman, Kirk had a passion for working with his hands. He found joy in repairing homes, working on cars, installing floors, drywall, and electrical work – always lending a helping hand with humility and skill. Kirk’s faith was a guiding light in his life. He was a devoted member of Christian Life Center when it was located on Portage Road, where he served faithfully as an usher, a trustee, and at times, as Pastor Armstrong’s assistant. The church was renamed Stone’s Church and Kirk is still a member and served until his health took a turn. His spiritual commitment and quiet leadership left a lasting impact on his church family. In the last year Kirk had cancer that had moved to his bones and was homebound a lot. Kirk and Wanda had some awesome caretakers: Warren, Monique. Odell, Marie, and Kay. He also was able to do some traveling and celebrate his 80th birthday and his wife's birthday celebration. Thanks to Centrica Care Navigators and Kairos for their wonderful help also. Kirk leaves behind his beloved wife, Wanda R. Davis. Through his marriage with Wanda, he gained loving brothers and sisters: Alma (Marie) and Larry, George and Melissa, Odell and Stephine, Barbara and Edward, Billy and Phyllis Snell. His three children: Andre, Tasha, and David. After he married Wanda, he became a proud grandfather to Jonathan and Syrianna, cherishing his grandchildren with warmth and pride. Kirk will also be deeply missed by his cherished friends Buddy, Barbara, Sledge and Ida, Vicky and John, Dalton, Robert and Ruth, Lavern, Monique, Jeanette, Jean, Phil, Joyce and Eddie, and Johnnie who was his barber and by a host of extended family and friends whose lives were enriched by his presence. Kirk was a man of faith, family, service, and skill – a man who gave more than he took and loved without measure. His memory will be carried forward with love, respect, and gratitude.
