Kirk Pepper Obituary

Nothing has changed dear Kirk. Your memories are intact in our mind and Heart. Someone like you does not leave this world without leaving his steps printed in this world.

It is impossible not to remember you Kirk. Your kindness, your smile and your soul will be with us for ever.

We keep you engraved in our hearts dear Kirk.

We miss you and love you Kirk! Me and my Soteras cousins,,,,Sleep well and we'll see you again

You are always remembered Kirk. You were such a nice young man. We have you in our hearts.

I had no idea about my friend who was so close to during my years in high school. He always made me laugh and tried to get me out of my comfort zone daily.

I wish we had stayed in touch through the years, but paths in our life differed.

He will be though of as he always was.

Kirk, even thou we only met a few years ago, I grew fond of you and how sweet you were to everyone that met you. Andrew & Mary Catherine thought you were so nice. I enjoyed cooking, eating, & boating with you. I loved watching how much little Jake adored his "Pep". I think of your sweet gift to help me hull my strawberries. I think of you every day when I use it too. Our family cared greatly for you and you will be very missed.

It was a honor to know u all these years. You touched so many peoples lives. See u in heaven one day. Jadzia and gary Baylor

My sincerest condolences to the Pepper family. As a fellow member of the old Le Titi crew I too had the great pleasure of working with Kirk and assisted him in the opening of his own restaurant. Kirk, your smooth and efficient style of customer service taught me the everlasting ability of being a great schmoozer. You will be missed.

For your kindness, and your beautiful smile. I met you when I was 14 working at Merry Go Round...you will be missed dearly. Wish I could be there Saturday. But know you are in my thoughts. You have been for longer than you know. Rest easy old friend.

Kirk your smile and your kindness and strength is what I will always remember . You will not be forgotten.

We will miss you at the salon. Handsome xoxoxo

I had the pleasure of working with Kirk for many years at Le titi de Paris. He was true bon vivant! I was lucky enough to see him and reconnect at Claudes last birthday party. He was truely one of a kind and I will toast him everytime I eat a french meal!

Dear Leila and George. How sad I was to hear of Kirk's death. I have such fond memories of Kirk and Erik as playmates in Plum Grove - he was such a cutie! Fred and I send our heartfelt sympathy.

I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember him from our childhood in PGE. I saw Kirk about 20 years ago in Barrington - same Kirk smile and warm personality. God Bless you all. Rest in Grace, Kirk

For all those with cancer, there's a cure. It's in our food: read Genesis 1:29.

Kirks bright smile and enthusiasum for everything he did is unforgettable. Rest in peace.

Kirk was a really sweet guy. It was always so good to run into him getting hair cuts. We always laughed about the good old days working together at the tanning salon. That great infectious smile and those DIMPLES!
He will be missed and thought of often.

My deepest sympathy and prayers on the passing of Kirk. I was one of Kirk's teacher's in high school and will always remember his infectious smile and zest for life. He will truly be missed.

I am so sorry about Kirk. He was one of my dearest friends. We could talk about anything. He was so funny, and loved to laugh. Even when in pain he gave me the biggest bear hugs. He loved being down at the Fox River. I loved boating , or just chilling by the pool talking with him. He will be missed so much!!! Love you PEP!!!

Dear Pepper family, my sincere condolences to you all. Kirk's smile lit up a room, I'll always remember that! As well as the fond memories of PGC & high school we shared together. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

Kirk was a dear friend of mine and for the most part of my life I treated him like my younger brother. You will always be part of me which I will never forget. The best way I can describe you was that you were always a shining beacon of light and positive energy each time I met you or stopped by your restaurant. French Dishes will not taste the same for me for a while. I'll miss you bro.

Hey Kirk. This message is for you. We grew up together as kids. You were always at the house. You were our most inappropriate but most fun babysitter. I remember when we went to Fremd together, what a change... we were no longer kids. Fast forward, I visited your restaurant--- we were adults. Wow. I knew you had arrived. I will never forget your laugh and the crazy times we had. We shared a lot of good talks. Don't ever doubt that we thought of you as part of the family. Say hi to Uncle Fred. I can hear you both laughing upstairs in Heaven. Love, Clarissa Bunales
