My last Facebook message to Kirby (that no one will probably ever receive) was sent at 6:09 PM on September 21st with my husband PJ next to me on the couch:
... oh, Kirby (or whoever might read this, if anyone ever does) ... when we were together back in 2005, we were both just kids. You were 18 years old, if I recall and I was 20 years old. I was coming off a breakup with my high school sweet heart and living in my grandparents' basement. A lot changed between 2005 - 2012, and now it's Sunday, September 21, 2014 and I wish I could've saved you. I wish I would've known. I was in the emergency room last Friday, September 12th. We still don't know how I ended up there but I was about at the end of my rope with stress and anxiety and overload and loneliness in the days leading up to it. And I know we can't go back in time, but if you would've called me again... at any point... I would've listened. I would've tried to help. I would've gotten you the help that everyone deserves, I promise. I swear I would've never turned you away. Rest in peace, sweet, sweet Kirby <3

My Dearest Kelly, I'm so sorry to hear about Kirby. I remember all the good things we talked about him when we worked together. We don't understand all the pain that they are in and never will. Please just remembered his pain is more than him could handle. I'm here for you, as you know I've been and still there. I love you Elaine

I Had The Brief Pleasure Of Getting To Know Kirby On A Personal Level. He Was Sweet & Caring. He Loved His Mom & His Dog Chloe. He Thought It Was Ideal Her & I Shared That Name. He Was Laid Back & An All Around Great Guy. Im Upset To Hear Of His Passing & Wish I Could Just Have One Last Moment With Him To Clear The Air Between Us Because I Wish Things Would Have Gone Different...My Prayers Go Out To His Family During This Difficult Time. Rest In Paradise Love.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers for a long time Kirby. I know we didn't talk everyday, but you were always a wonderful caring friend that would listen and genuinely care for whatever those in your life had to say or share. I still remember conversations we had in high school, college, and even the occasional instant messages at work just 'checking in' with each other. You were a wonderful person who will be very deeply missed. The world won't be quite as bright without you. Love ya buddy! Never got the chance to tell you that enough.

I was so sorry to hear about Kirby passing, my husband and I sold our house to him and his mom on Creston Ave, he was always smiling and so nice whenever we seen him, just seemed like such a nice kid. He was just going to start Lincoln high when they moved there, our thought and prayers are with your family at this time, also for the loss of Cindy, we did not know of her passing. With love, Diana Hudson

Kirby was a very special caring person. Nothing negative ever came out of his mouth. He was always smiling and was very intelligent. He did have a very big heart and cared about all the people around him. He will leave a mark on my heart and I will miss him always. I love you Kirby say hello to Cindy and the other angels

Kirby was so funny we had many laughs together. We kept in contact with each other frequently and talked about many topics. I got to know Kirby on a personal level and will never forget the stories we shared. He was a special person and I am so sad that I will never get to talk to him again. He had the biggest kindest heart of anyone I've ever met before. He was a special person. I will miss him.
