Kirk Barnes Knipp

West Point, 1981

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Lew Boore on February 25, 2012:

Brother Kirk,
Our paths rarely crossed as Cadets or as officers, however everytime they did you brought a smile to my face. You were ever the encourager and always had a wonderful "take" on the situation.

You left this world as you lived it- a true Warrior; strong and courageous, more concerned that we would not feel bad about what you were going through. Even after receiving the worst news possible, your facebook post was classic Kirk; "it's a tooma"!

May our Lord ease the pain of your family here on earth as you are now at peace in your resurrected body. Thank you for your example on how a Godly man lives as well as dies. You fought the good fight...you finished strong...Strength as One...with HIM!
