Charles Kirk

July 21, 1935 — October 13, 2022

Charles “Charley” Kirk passed October 13, 2022 at age 87. Though in frail health, he passed peacefully at home with his wife Helen by his side.

Charley’s family helped pioneer Colorado; his love for this state was deep. He worked as a cowboy, graduated from Colorado A&M (now CSU), and was a member of Farmhouse Fraternity. He worked as a lamb buyer, an Ag loan officer, and a rural appraiser throughout his life. If someone owned more than 10 cows in Colorado or Wyoming, Charley knew them.

After college he joined the Navy and served as a Lieutenant. While stationed in San Diego, he met Helen Sartorius and they fell in love. After 4 years of service, he and Helen were married and moved to Denver.

With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, Charley was known for his laugh, his stories, and his generosity. He worshiped in the Episcopal church and deeply loved the outdoors. His passions included camping, skiing, hunting, and especially fly-fishing. His favorite times were gathering with family or friends in the mountains.

Charley leaves behind his wife Helen, their 2 daughters, Cindy Hunt (husband Kim Hunt) and Lisa Easton (husband Rob Easton), 4 grandchildren; Kirk Easton, Kelsey Easton, Carina Easton, Katie Hunt, brother Larry (wife Yvonne), nephews Joel Kirk (wife Hallie Kirk) and Kevin Kirk (wife Lisa Kirk, daughters Riley and Taylor), and literally thousands of friends.

On behalf of Charley’s family and friends, thank you all for your prayers, your humor, your steadfast companionship, and for being accomplices in a life filled with great love, adventure (and some trouble making).  May the memories in your heart and the promises of eternity bring you joy and consolation as we carry on without this great man in our midst.  His was a life well lived. May we do the same.
