News of my death are

Not exaggerated. Yesterday I died (as posted by his wife), apparently peacefully and in little to no pain, while sleeping.

On Wednesday, Kirk was given a new pain medication script. Since he was in quite a lot of pain for quite a while, he chose to take the last of his hoarded stash of pain pills that he had received nearly two months prior, when discharged from the long term stay Nursing/rehab facility he had been in for months. He had recently also been experiencing more issues with waking up while sleeping, due to problems breathing, caused by sleep apnea. He had just taken a sleep study which confirmed that he needed a bi-pap, but it would take a week or two (at the time) before they would be able to get the results to a doctor, so that he could get a new machine. It's my opinion that, due to the small amount of pain pills that he took, he became so relaxed (from lack of pain) that he was unable to wake up when he stopped breathing while sleeping. I was dozing in a chair nearby, and thought it strange that it was so quiet. However, I was so tired that I ended up falling back to sleep before investigating. It wasn't until I woke up a second time and it was still too quiet. I became alarmed and checked on him. It was too late, he had been dead too long for emergency personnel to revive him.

I have located a recent video and picture of him, peacefully smiling at me a very special smile that he reserved for me alone. The video was regarding a power chair he was going to return, but it's a voice and image that I can keep forever to remember him by. I still don't know what I'm going to do, but I at least have the comfort of knowing that I can likely get assistance with getting him cremated. A friend of ours has already offered to let me stay with him while I get myself stabilized, so my cats and I have a roof when our rent comes due for July. I hope that Kirk has been helpful to people in this thread, and anyone is welcome to link this to any thread where this would be of interest.

Kirk appeared here and received valid advice on his physical condition,which he mostly ignored.
His long misused wife also did and do wish condolences for her.

Regardless of the entire situation she did love him and was cordial here so am sorry for your sadness.

10. My deepest sympathies.

My own husband passed two weeks ago, so I have a sense of what you are dealing with.

It does get easier - little by little, day by day. Don't be afraid to rely on friends and family, or to ask for help when needed. I have found that my friends are anxious to be of assistance; it is their way of honouring their friendship with him as well.

By the way, I went and checked.

Two weeks after the JeffR primitive's deceasement, he still isn't in the primitive morgue.

One wonders what the hold-up there's with that, and if the late Las Vegas Leviathan will have to wait as long.

I'll bet the LVL shows up in the Dead DUmmy forum before NanceGreggs allegedly dead husband.

The LVL never made an anti-Hildebeast comment.

RIP Kirk. Condolences to his wife.

I hope they take special precautions so that the crematorium doesn't catch on fire when they render him to ashes.

Yeah, instantly when I read this is what the grieving widow wants done, I got concerned about that possibility too.

The timing could hardly be better.

This could serve as a valuable trial run for processing the Big Guy.

I feel terrible for his wife. She has endured a lot up to this point & she is definitely in my prayers as she feels the grief settle in her soul.

It sounds like Kirk's laziness continued until he was too lazy to keep breathing. The narcotic overdose did not help matters.

Mr Mannn · « **Reply #10 on:** June 05, 2015, 11:39:50 PM »

Kirk paid the price for his self inflicted disability lifestyle. He lived in misery and died the same way.

Kirk was one of the few from DU who came here, and actually talked with us.

Rest in peace

Am I the only one that smells a setup?

Liberal to the end.

Kirk was already dying one piece at a time, first they buried part of his leg. I wonder how they were able to move that body? I hope his wife gets help with the rent as they will be taking back Kirk's last disability check that was just deposited on the 3rd. I suspect a go fund me page soon.

He had the guts to come over here and attempt to defend himself (badly). I will give him kudos for that and my condolences go out to his long-suffering wife.

Well, at least it's half of what it would have been.

Really though, my condolences to the family and friends.

Yeah, but ODing on hoarded pain pills would have been near the bottom of the list. It would have been near the top for most other DUmmies but I had LVL the victim of a massive stroke followed by a heart attack.

67 Rover · « **Reply #20 on:** June 06, 2015, 08:41:35 AM »

What is it with DUmmies running to DU just mere hours after the death of a loved one?

Do they actually believe that they were real life friends or something?

You know, the late Tangerine LaBamba apparently did this herself, purposely overdosing on pain pills.

And it's only speculative, but it looks as if Chief S itting Bull, the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, may have done this sort of thing, although some of us more in the know still think he jammed the barrel of a revolver into his big mouth.

So this sounds eminently credible, that the Las Vegas Leviathan, either on purpose or by mistake, overdosed himself on pain-killers.

Now, while one hopes this sort of thing doesn't happen to certain primitives such as the always-medicating Big Mo, one wouldn't especially mind if it happened to the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive or Ms. Hindenberg, the defrocked warped primitive.

One wonders why suicide is so common amongst a group of people who claim they are so much smarter than us? You would think such smart people would have solved their problems and be lording their success over mere mortals.

Maybe a life of doing nothing, while living on Govt handouts gives one a sense of worthlessness?

That's a good point. H5.

So, I knew this day would come. I knew there'd be no sensitivity in any written word here and I suppose I'm not surprised.

It truly grieves me to see the mockery that you've made of Kirk and Jeanette's lives. He gave you answers to questions you had no business asking. He did it with grace and intelligence. Still you all persisted in making a spectacle of him.

Kirk tried very hard to get his life on track. He loved his wife and she loved him. None of that matters to any of you, I'm aware of that fact.

I had hoped for a shred of decency though. Silly me.

Kirk will be missed. I enjoyed many years of good discussions with him.

Your childish, immature responses and response are not reply worthy.

Therefore I probably won't have any more to say on the subject. I really don't want to be a part of your little society here but I did want to tell you how disgusted I am at your outpouring of hatred and mocking of a friend.

I would be complicit if I didn't speak out.

Kirk the man, the husband, the writer, the very ill for so very long. May he rest in eternal peace. May Jeanette find comfort in her friends and the love they show her.

I know she'll see your hateful posts. I pray they don't hurt her too badly and that she considers the source.

sincerely.

kesha.
