Jason Ray Kirk
Jason Ray Kirk,
51, was born May 26,
1974, and passed May
16, 2026. He grad-
uated from Tarrant
High School, class of
‘93. He served in the
United States Marine
Corps, with honorable
discharge in 1997. He
then joined the police
force, serving for 13 years in Tarrant, Bessemer,
and Vestavia. Afterwards, Jason went on to have
many careers and fulfill many dreams.
In this life, he leaves behind his wife Jewel
Leigh Kirk; his children Kyndell Tucker (Brady
Tucker), Taylor Kirk Ross (Jesse Ross), Kaden
Abbott (Maci Abbott), Katie Ann Abbott, Hannah
Kirk; his grandchildren Brayleigh and Kynnady
Tucker, Beckham and Bennett Ross, Evelynn Ab-
bott, and more to follow; his niece Kynzlie Kirk;
his father Billy Ray Kirk; his uncle Roger Dalton
Kirk; and a multitude of close family and friends.
There are not enough words to describe
how much Jason meant to all of us. Jason was
a God-fearing man, a dedicated, steadfast hus-
band, the best dad, and an amazing pappy – a
best buddy, best friend, hype man, confidant,
protector, overcomer, and mentor. He was
known as a jack of all trades, master of most, an
expert beard grower, and honey-doer. He had
found his purpose and was at ultimate peace,
through Christ, in all aspects of his life; his
delight was in the law of the Lord. His transition
was miraculous and inspiring to watch as he
became our present-day superman.
Jason’s visitation was at Blountsville Funer-
al Home Friday, May 22, 2026, from 1 to 3:30
p.m. Service followed.
