Paul Douglas Kirk passed away at age 25, just 10 days before his 26th birthday. He is survived by his parents, Victoria Kyriss and Dale McDonald, sister Danielle Davis, and grandparents Ken and Trudy Twardowski.

Paul was an incredible young man and as many have said, “He always lit up any room he walked into.”

Paul always had a smile on his face and made friends very easily. He brought joy and laughter to everybody around him. He was truly a special soul and will be missed by so many.

Paul’s Celebration of Life will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, at Community Christian Church, 41762 Stetson Ave., Hemet. Everybody is welcome to come and celebrate the life of a young man we all loved so much.
