ASHTON EARL KIRK

Ashton Earl Kirk, born December 7, 1992, passed away peacefully on May 24, 2016. Ashton was a beloved son, grandson, brother, uncle, and friend. He will be remembered as a goofy, smart, talented, creative, frugal, independent, warm-hearted, gentle man.  He loved his family and friends, and he was always willing to take time for them, whether it be to clean Grandma's windows, move heavy furniture, help record music, offer computer technical support, or attend events that were important to those he loved.  

Ashton recently graduated magna cum laude from Utah Valley University with an emphasis in Information Technology; he loved his job and the people he worked with at Wavetronix. He was a responsible, reliable employee who could be counted on to get things done in a professional and timely manner.

Ashton had a passion for music, and he expressed his thoughts and feelings best through the music he wrote and recorded.  He excelled at learning new musical instruments, but he was never one to show off, so he sometimes surprised us by playing a new piece on the piano we had never heard him play before.  

Ashton had a quirky sense of humor, and he loved to make us laugh with original funny videos and silly songs.  He was a sensitive man, thoughtful of others.  He was a man of few words, but he showed he cared through his actions. One of Ashton's best qualities was that he didn't let other people's opinions sway his own.  He thought things through and he did what he thought was best, even if it went against the crowd. 

Ashton is survived by his parents Brandon and Joann Kirk, his siblings Brittney Kirk, Brianne Moon (Mike), Alissa Teachout (Adam), Matthew Kirk (Katie), and grandmother Marie Ashton. He is preceded in death by grandfathers Karl Ashton and Earl Kirk, and grandmother Melba Kirk.   He will be missed by those who love him.  We know he is happy and at peace with loved ones on the other side.
