David Woodson Kirk was born January 19, 1957 in Okmulgee, Oklahoma the son of Myrl Stuart and Ruth Carolyn (Stewart) Kirk.

David was raised in Oklahoma City where he graduated from John Marshall High School in 1975. He graduated from the College of William and Mary with a B.A. in History and Philosophy in 1979. He went on to graduate from the O.U. College of Law in 1985. After being admitted to the Oklahoma Bar, he practiced law for over 30 years in Oklahoma City and finished his career as a partner at Lytle, Soule and Curlee.

David could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell! A known multi-instrumentalist, David’s life could be measured by the bands he covered and the venues he played. From strumming The Beatles at coffee shop open mics to jamming in the International Blues Competition, his lifelong dedication to music brought him clarity and joy. Even in the worst times, David always held a guitar.

David was a member of Chapel Hill United Methodist Church and the Masonic Lodge #36 where he served as Worshipful Master.

He is survived by his parents, Carolyn and Stuart Kirk; his son, Ford Kirk, his daughters Anna Kirk and Callie Kirk and her husband Alex Webb, his step-sons, Ted Prince and Mark Prince; his sister, Mary Kirk Wenger and husband Matt; his brother, Tom Kirk and wife Hilary.
