Kirk Osborn

On September 18, 2023, with family by his side, Kirk Alan Osborn entered Heaven - we are sure with the welcome of, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" He was 55 years old. Kirk loved God, his family, his friends, the Dallas Cowboys and fantasy football. (During the fall season that order was sometimes questioned!) Though his physical limitations kept him from truly playing football on this Earth; we are sure that Kirk is now running from one field to the next to play football in Heaven.

Born on February 10, 1968 and raised in Watsonville, Kirk attended many local schools and proudly graduated from Aptos High, class of 1986. The only time Kirk lived out of Santa Cruz County was when he attended Liberty University in Virginia, where he made many life-long friends and memories. Kirk graduated with his B.S. in Accounting and over the years worked for a number of companies. For the last 19 years, Kirk worked as the Purchaser at the Santa Cruz County Office of Education. He would say that he bought everything from pick-up trucks to paper clips!

Kirk is survived by his wife of 23 years, Becky, daughters Abigail and Hannah, his father Bob, his brothers Kevin (wife Kathy) and Kyle (partner Peter), and numerous loving aunts, uncles and cousins as well as many loving friends. He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Marlene.

Services will be held on Saturday, October 14th at 1:30 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Watsonville. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Shriners Hospitals for Children where Kirk spent much of his childhood.

Mehl's Colonial Chapel was entrusted with the funeral arrangements.
