It is with much sorrow that I post that my dear friend Kirk Thompson passed away last night in his sleep.  Kirk began his journey at 740 lbs losing down to 350 at his lowest.  In the years to follow he suffered from many cross addictions and some personal tragedies. 

Kirk was a former employee of ObesityHelp (member services department) he was very instrumental in introducing me to staff at OH and helping me join the OH team.  I owe Kirk many thanks for the love and support he gave me.

He was my friend and I am not sure what more I can say except he was funny, loving, and my personal 'angel' when I was 626 lbs.  He was my friend when I felt I didn't have any.

My world has changed today.  I will miss my friend.

How sad, how very very sad.  I am so sorry to hear this.

Oh Connie...this is so sad.   He was an inspiration.

This IS such sad news to hear of. 
He was and is an example to many of us what a victorious journey should be for he fought an amazing battle against obesity. 
May Crow RIP.
Bless his family during this time.

Oh man! I remember him well. He helped me so much too!
