I love you Kirk. Grandmother and Grand Dad also
My dearest Kirk, a day does not go by that I do not think of you...you are with me wherever I go!! I love you with all my heart. You are still such a blessing in my life and always will be. Happy 29th Birthday this week...I stayed awake until midnight on March 15th so that I could be the first to send you birthday wishes and to let you know that a part of me belongs to you.
Mom
Hello Kirk. I wish you a good birthday today.
I put some spring flowers in your vase for you.
I miss you being here in person with me. I love you Kirk. Grandmother.
A long time ago when the Internet first came to be, we had a common interest in a YA sci-fi series called animorphs. You were precocious, 10 and I was 14. You lied and told me you were 13. Through the years that followed we kept intermittent conversations. I knew you and you knew me and we'd pick up like a second was never lost in the absence of years. You told me once the song Iris made you think of me. Now I listen to it and think of you. May we meet again.
We will never forget your birthday Kirk.
We love you.
Grand dad C.E. and grandmother Pat
Praying for the family and the emptiness that comes with losing the ones we love dearly and hold close in our hearts. May God bring peace and grace until you meet again. Much Love to a family lost but never forgotten.
My deepest sympathy to the family. May The Lord bring you peace,
Kirk,
I have read several articles of parents who have lost a child, and the one factor that I so relate to is that your memory will always live on. I have a picture of you at my bedside, I share the memories of you and your wonderful personalities with friends and co-workers almost every day. My love will be never-ending, I know I will hug you again one day on the other side...you will always touch lives here on Earth. I treasure the "special" moments and thoughts I still share with you. I love you so much, I miss you every day as time goes by, today is always a sad one, the day you left this earth...just know I am here and your memory will never die... you would smile to know that I am taking Spenc and Tea to the very place you ask to go, the very place this picture was taken, he has your loving and kind heart, always putting the dreams of those he cares about before himself. He has truly grown into a wonderful man, I know you are so proud and that you are with us still....
Mom
I miss you all the time, but this month is always especially difficult. I love you so much, and I'd do anything just to hear your voice again.
Love to you Kirk on your birthday today.
Grand dad and Grand mother
Kirk,
Spencer and I think of you daily... we miss you dearly. You are always in our hearts. I had a beautiful dream of you last week. Spencer spoke of you today. We love you deeply.

Pat & CE Sorry for your loss our thougts and prayers are with you. Janice
I am currently overseas and was shocked to hear the news, I wanted Dr. Atchley to know I was praying with and for him and the family. For all he has done for me I am grateful, and how truely sad I was to hear the news.
I know it's been a month, but I just found out... Kirk and I haven't spoken in a few years--we met when we were children, and He will always hold a very dear and special place in my heart. Kirk, you will be missed.
CE & PATTY My thoughts and prayers and my heartfelt condolences are with you and your son on the loss of your beloved grandson.

a good friend and mentor that will be truly missed always
Dear Monty and Family, Our prayers are with you . Kirk was like family to us. We will miss him so much. God bless him and hold him close. George and Retha
I'm so sorry to hear this terrible news. Kirk was a wonderful person, and even though I hadn't been able to see him recently, I will always remember him. Kirk was a good friend, and he will be sorely missed.
I am certain our God will comfort the parents,siblings, grandparents and the rest of the family during this time of loss. Cousin Monty, I love you and am praying for you.
Dear Monty & Patty, my prayers have been with you and will continue to follow you throughout this tragedy. Patty, you and I have prayed with and for our patients many times throughout the years, through tragedy and triumph, rarely entertaining the idea that we would someday be in their shoes. It seems impossible to take on the role you have been given, its against our grain, we're the caregivers not receivers. Monty and Patty, God is the only one that can give you the peace that is to come. This is my prayer for you.
dearest patty and monty. we offer our heart felt sympathy to your sons loss. i lost my mom and father the early part of this decade. you just never when these things can happen i will close for now and all our love filled thoughts go to both of you. my email address is paulsutter@cei.net drop a line sometime and i have a question for you
Monty & Patty; I am so sorry to hear you lost your son. I said a prayer for you on the day of the service at 10:00 a.m. I know it has been a hard time for you. The staff at Area Agency in Greenwood sends their condolances.
Monty and Family, Josh called me today to tell me about Kirk. I'm so sorry and saddened by the news. Please know our hearts are with you, and you are in our prayers.

Cousins, How hard this day must have been for you all. My love, thoughts and prayers have been with you today and will be in the future. May God place His hand on your souls and guide you through days and years to come. Always know that my love is with each and everyone. There was never anything more comforting than my Grandma Mellie's lap. I am sure when she finds Kirk in her relm of heaven she will hold him and sing the sweet old time songs to comfort and welcome him home to our family above. May God Bless and be with you all.
Monty, Your loss is greater than I can imagine. My family will be praying for your family and we will ask God to give you comfort and peace in the days ahead. Rev and Deborah IICor 1:3-7 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
My heart goes out to you. You're in my prayers.
Patty, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Patty, I am so sorry to hear about Kirk. I know when I worked with you at Area Agency how close you were to both Kirk and Spencer. Even when our children grow up there is always a part of our heart that belongs to them. May God comfort you and your family in this time of sorrow and grief.
Dear Patty, So sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God comfort you and give you strength . Violet

I don't know what to say, except that I am here for you if you need anything. Kirk was such a nice young man who loved life. He was always so polite to me and never passed by me without speaking. Just wanted ya'll to know that my whole family is praying for you. After I lost Kate, I did not want to see anyone so that is why I did not come to the funeral. Love, Beth
May God bless you all in your time of sadness. My love to you in your time of sadness. Love, Joyce Lyons (granddaughter of Mellie Mae Atchley Whisenhunt Spears)
Shodai, we will miss Kirk alot. I know that you won't right now, but later on if you ever need to talk to someone that has been through this, just call me day or night. Princess and Sam

Dear Monty, Patty and family, I am so deeply sorry to hear about Kirk. I wanted you to know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I pray that you will feel God's tender arms around you giving you each the strenth to go forward. If there is ever any thing that I can do for any of you please let me know. Love you guys always!
God looked down upon your body, So tired from hanging on, From a life that had lovingly welcomed you, But - He wanted back His son. So He took away the air you breathe, And gave you what was best, A place to be at peace, A final place to rest. May God Bless each and every one of you and may He sustain you through this great loss, during this time and forevermore. He rests in the arms of his loved ones, that prepared the path for his journey Home. --Kathy Spivey niece of James & Janett Atchley

Monty and Patti, I am sincerely sorry for your great loss. Patti,, I still remember the day your water broke in my new car and the following day when Kirk was born. It seems like just yesterday.

Everything I know about life I learned from you. You were and always will be my greatest inspiration. I love you.
Monty and Family. I can't even imagine what your going through. All I can say is Kirk was a great guy. I know you were all proud of him, not because of his accomplishments but proud of who he was, what kind of young man he grew up to be. It was an honor to know Kirk and I like most others who spent time with him, will not forget him.
Kirk was a great guy. I enjoyed the time we had together. I loved everything about your son. He meant alot to me and I will never forget him. We had alot of great memories. He will be missed. Love Always

My heart is aching for you Monty and Spencer. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you are comforted knowing that on several occasions Kirk and I talked in the counselor's office at the high school and he always considered his father his best friend. There was never a time when he doubted your love for him. He will be truly missed.
Patty, my heart goes out to you and your family during this time. Please, if there is anything I can do let me know. We are thinking of you. Andy
I am Pattie's cousin. I, too, know the deep pain of losing a beloved grandson. We must live in the belief that he is in the arms of a Loving Saviour. and that we , too, will join him There sometime in the future. Until that time, we must believe that there is a reason.
Monty, Patty, and C.E. I am so sorry to hear about Kirk. I just want you to know that I have been praying for all of you and have put you on my church's prayer list. I hope you will be able to feel the prayers offerd up for you during this time of sorrow. May you all be able to find peace in reaching for the Lord to comfort you during this time. We love you all.
Monty, my heart goes out to you and your family. Words cannot express how sorry I am that you have to endure this. Kirk meant a whole lot to our family and not a day will go by that I won't think of him and the time we have spend together. Kirk was a very special person and will be missed by everyone that knew him.
Monty, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. May the memories you hold onto help you through this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
My condolences to your families. I am sorry for the loss of your loved one with such a good future.
Just letting all of you know that your are in our thoughts and prayers. I am a distant cousin of Patty's, and I all too well know the pain of loosing a child as does your family. "One day at a time", sometimes "One hour at a time". Find strength in each other and hold on to the good memories, as I am sure you have a lot of good memories of Kirt. If you ever need to talk/cry, I am here.
I'm a distant cousin of C.E.'s and I am so sorry for your loss. I've known the loss before you and I know the physical pain that you feel. Just know that there will be a day that you can think of Kirk and smile and not cry. The wonderful memories you have will keep you going until you see him again. I'm praying for the whole Atchley Family.
In my thoughts and prayers.
Monty, C. E. and Pat our thoughts and prayers are with you. I AM FREE Don't grieve for me, for now I am free, I'm following the path God laid for me. I took God"s hand when I heard Him call, and turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to live, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine for tomorrow. My life's been full, I' ve savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seem all to brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now. He set me free. Author Unknown May God be with now and always, Love, Ronnie, Shirley and Adrienne
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family as they walk through this most difficult time. May God comfort you as only He can and walk with you through the days ahead to find His peace that passes all understanding. Take joy in the gift of Kirk's life and all of the memories of your time together with him. You will see him again one day.
Monty and Family, My heart goes out to all of you! Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. It is my prayer that you will feel peace within your hearts. God bless each one of you. All My Love, Connie
We are deeply sorwy and we will never forget him.
To my dear neighbors, Pat and C E, please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I did not know Kirk, but I do know of your great love for him.
There are not words that can bring comfort to someone who has lost a loved one. There will not be a day that goes by that I won't think of Kirk and the good times we have had together. My thoughts are with you all.
We are thinkng about you and want to let you know you all are in our prayers.
Monty and Family, No words can tell you, Pattie and CE how sorry we were to here this news. I still have fond memories of Kirk, Spencer and you coming to visit us in Longview. We so enjoyed the visit. Knowing he is home now enjoying the company that all have gone before him. Getting to meet his grandpaw Ben. I know he will definetly have some stories to tell him. I know he made you one proud dad. I will see you Wednesday. We will keep you in our prayers. Love your cousins.
Monty It breaks my heart to know that a tragedy such as this would be the event to reunite me with one of my oldest and dearest friends. Words cannot express the sorrow I have for your loss. As I talked with you and mom, so many memories came to mind, as if it were only yesterday. I can still remember the day he was born. I pray that the memories of Kirk and the joys you shared will be a comfort to you the days to come. Our prayers will be with you and your entire family. Ron and Vickie Ramsey
Our sympathies and prayers go out to the family . We didn't know Kirk , but know that he was a special young man, and will be missed by his loving family and friends.
I love you guys so much. I do not have the magic words that could possibly offer enough comfort for your family. I can say, however, that God is right there in control and ready for you to lean on Him. Proverbs 15:14 tells us that if we have God's understanding, we can ask Him for the knowledge to overcome every trial and problem we face. God is eternal and has a good plan for our future. All my love, Sherrill (Nagel) Sweet and family
Monty, Our hearts go out to you. Although we can't be there, please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We will miss seeing Kirk in June. Ben's heart is truly heavy. He has such a feeling of true friendship with Kirk. If there is anything that you need, please let us know. David, Dee and Ben Mizell Dragon's Den Dojo, Smithville, MO. 816-316-9573 or 816-288-0445.
For you our grandson Kirk. We have loved you since the day you were born and we will miss you for the days that we live. Grandad C.E. and Grandmother Pat.
I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with you and give you strength and understanding during this painful time and always. No words will help, but I hope the love from family and friends will help comfort you. With my love, Your cousin Keri Allison
It is in times like these that we have to turn to God and his Holy Precious Word to find comfort, solace and peace. Although we may not understand things we have to realize and accept the fact that it his will and not ours. I pray that God provides understanding for you and am placing you through prayer in his Hands. I am asking him to be with you through this most difficult time and that he will stay with you and provide for your spiritual needs and comfort for your family in the days to come. I pray that he will give you the Peace that Passeth all understanding. Even though Kirk can't come back to us we can all be assured through our Lord Jesus Christ that we can be with him again some day and Think of the Heavenly Reunion that is going on right now with all of those Atchley's that have went on before us. It is a Great Homecoming tonight over on that special shore. You are in our thoughts and Prayers, Take Care of Yourselves, and above all may God be with you. Love, Bill Reedy
