Paul Stewart Kirby, 76, of Bluffton, South Carolina, and formerly of Effingham, Illinois, passed away peacefully at his home on November 7, surrounded by the people who loved him most.
In lieu of a public service, his family will honor his life with a private gathering, walking along the beach — the place where he always felt the most peace.
Paul will be deeply missed by his devoted wife, Joy Kirby, and his daughter, Elizabeth Nohren, along with her husband Nathan and their children. His family takes great comfort in knowing that his final days were gentle and that he is now made whole again in Heaven with his Heavenly Father.
