He was born in Jetmore on Nov. 29th, 1995, to Alicia (Ward) Wade and Dean Wade, both of Spearville. He is survived by both of his parents; his sister Olivia and Olivia's husband Darren (of Dallesport, WA); and his brother James and James' daughter Cozette (of Jetmore).

Kirby attended his first few years of school in Jetmore, then transferred to Spearville. After high school, he worked as a motorcycle mechanic and sales person at Dodge City Powersports. Most recently, he was self employed as a motorcycle mechanic.

Kirby was the light of his family member's lives. He was loved fiercely and deeply and will be missed tremendously. He was sweet, highly intelligent, absolutely hilarious, and beautifully unique. He was an introvert, but he was also magnetic, and he left a memorable impression on everyone who was fortunate enough to meet him. He enjoyed riding and working on motorcycles, driving and tuning cars, playing video games, tinkering with computers and electronics, and immersing himself in his favorite music. He packed a lot of living into his 25 years, from racing dirt bikes alongside his dad and brother for many years, to frequently traveling with his mom to visit his sister and brother-in-law in the wild Pacific Northwest, to seeing his favorite bands live on multiple occasions, to swimming with barracudas in the Caribbean sea.

An informal gathering will be held at the Jetmore King Center, 1312 Main St, Sat. Nov. 13th at 2pm.
