Nicole, We are so sorry for your loss. I could not believe it when I heard the news. Please know that you are in our prayers. God bless you and your family. Harry
Our family knew Kirk from numerous ski races at Afton Alps and Wild Mountain. Callie and our daughter will be seniors this year and we enjoyed chatting about racing with him each winter. We will miss his presence at the ski hill. Extending our deepest sympathy to Kirk's family, his many friends and his beloved dogs.
You and the kids are in our thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in the love of those around you and in all your wonderful memories.

I am truly sorry for your family loss. Although I did not know Kirk for a long time, I consider him a great friend. He was always so full of life and positive energy!
“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed”, says the Lord, who has compassion on you. Isaiah 54:10

Kirk passed peacefully late Monday night. Today has been a day of just about every "Inside Out" emotion, plus a few more they didn't cover. Thank you for all the calls, texts and messages today, and the ongoing support with food, gift cards and this amazing site. It means more than we can ever put into words.
And as the Matthew West song says, Don't Stop Praying, as our families will continue to need those prayers as we start to navigate what life will look like without his smiles, sarcasm, hugs, dad jokes, twirls on the dance floor, and so many other memories yet to be remembered. Many will bring tears, but many will also bring laughter and smiles, which is what he would want!!! Please message, text or post on this site or FB any of those memories so I can try capture them for our family.

As mentioned in the first update, Kirk suffered a brain bleed of an unknown cause and multiple strokes from that bleed. Despite a fierce battle, he has not been able to overcome the medical consequences of that bleed.
We have moved him to comfort care and ask that you continue to pray for our families as we try to process this and all the emotions that come with such a loss.
Thank you for all the messages, calls, hospital visits, food, gift cards, financial support and most of all the prayers. We are feeling all of the love and support and are so blessed that we know the support will continue as we figure out all that is to come.

Thank you to everyone for your incredible outpouring of thoughts, prayers and support. Your generosity to help lift some of the financial burden for the Sampson family is appreciated more than you will ever know, as Kirk was unemployed, but anticipating a job offer at the time of this medical emergency.
Kirk experienced a massive headache that led to him being admitted to the UofM hospital. The doctors believe that Kirk experienced a cryptic/spontaneous brain bleed that happens in approximately 15% of people that experience this situation. The doctors have not found the root cause of the bleed and at this point, it is likely they never will. Kirk continues to remain in critical condition in the Neuro ICU, where he has been for almost two weeks.
Regardless, we continue to be hopeful and pray for Kirk’s recovery. Please continue to pray for Kirk, pray for strength within their family and pray for Kirk’s entire medical care team as they work tirelessly to bring him to a full recovery.
