This is why I haven&#8217;t blogged since Christmas. Just haven&#8217;t been in the mood to write.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin had a terrific sense of humor, and was one of the smartest people I know. He was a true geek in every sense of the word, played D &amp; D and Magic the Gathering and would often pull a Star Trek or Star Wars reference out of his crack at the drop of a hat! He was a couple years younger than I which makes his death somehow suck even more. My friends, especially the younger ones, shouldn&#8217;t be leaving this world yet.<\/p>\n<p>Since Kevin loved to laugh, I&#8217;ll post a picture he featured on his FaceBook page and end with the last joke I remember him telling. It&#8217;s what he would have liked I think.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>What&#8217;s brown and sticky????<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>A stick!!!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net\/hphotos-ak-snc1\/10525_169513506094_659271094_3690651_3036218_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"417\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p>PS. Kevin liked his beer, and paid the price for it. He died of an esophageal hemorrhage, which is a byproduct of cirrhosis of the liver, a condition he was suffering from. So&#8230; My friends who are fond of the bottle, PLEASE take note. I don&#8217;t mean to lecture, and I know Kevin would verbally slap me for bringing this up at this time. That said, I lost a great friend, and feel that if nothing else, his untimely death can be a lesson for others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Kevin%20Kirby%2C%20%201969%20-%202011.%20%20RIP.\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>Kevin was a close friend of mine who died this last week-end.
