Christopher Alex Kirby was born 42 years ago in Fort Walton Beach Florida.  He was the youngest child born to Paul and Wanda Kirby and welcomed by his brother Jeremy Kirby and his sister Rebekah Kirby.  With a birth weight of ten pounds, he was a strong, happy baby who grew into a witty adult that kept his family and friends in stitches.

His humor and charm served him well as he worked in the food industry.  From the bar at Hilton in D.C., the table guests at Henry's in Denver, to the tourists and locals at Columbia in St. Augustine…Oh, the stories he could tell. Not to mention the number of recipes and kitchen skills he picked up for all kinds of wonderful dishes.

He had a tender heart for the hurting and the lonely which included both humans and animals.   Although he traveled from one coast to the other as a military 'brat,' and east to west and back again on his own travels, it seemed to serve him well when interacting with people from all walks of life.

With all the ups and downs in our family, from squabbles and estrangements to celebrations and victories of all kinds, laughter and love always prevailed.
We are saddened he left us so soon in his life, but our Lord and Savior will shelter him until we all meet again in eternity.  In addition to his family, Chris leaves behind a daughter, Bailey Kirby and a son, Haydn Kirby.

Our loving son will be laid to rest next to his grandparents at Brooks Cemetary on August 14, 2024.  The funeral service will be held at Davis-Watkins Chapel, 113 Racetrack Road, Fort Walton Beach FL at 10:00, followed by the burial.
