Kirk, 59, of Converse, Indiana, passed away peacefully at 6:45 a.m. on Friday, June 6, 2025, at Colonial Oaks Health &amp; Rehabilitation Center in Marion. He was born on February 15, 1966, in Wilmington, Delaware, to the late Paul and Joan (Kochendorfer) Kirk. He later married Carol Paulson, who survives.\r\n\r\nJeff was a graduate of Wolfson High School in Jacksonville, Florida, and attended Florida Junior College of Jacksonville. He dedicated his career to the field of information technology and was a valued employee at Availity. A true entrepreneur and dreamer, Jeffrey was known for his witty humor and inventive spirit.\r\n\r\nJeff loved his God and lived a life full of generosity and helpfulness. A man of many passions, he was a coffee enthusiast, who took his love of the brew to the next level by learning to roast his own beans. He was a BBQ master, whose cookouts were a beloved tradition among family and friends. Jeff's curiosity and technical skills led him to constantly tinker with gadgets and computers. Music was another lifelong love. He played the trumpet in his youth and continued to enjoy music throughout his life. Friday nights were often spent in the company of friends, playing cards and sharing laughter.\r\n\r\nJeff is survived by his loving wife, Carol Kirk of Converse; his children: Clarissa (Brad) Merchant of Wabash, and their children, Haddon and Asher; Taylor (Chandler) Ames of Indianapolis; and Dylan Kirk of Converse. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Ruth Paulson of Marion; sister-in-law, Lori Marshall of Marion, and her children, Abigail and Samuel; brother-in-law, Brian Paulson of Hoofddorp, Netherlands, and his daughter, Ella; cousins, Marieanne (Tony) Barnes and Kim Canaday; and best friends, Ron Skinner and Chris Akin.\r\n\r\nJeff was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Joan Kirk.\r\n\r\nThe family will receive visitors from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at Needham-Storey-Wampner Funeral &amp; Cremation Service, North Chapel, 1341 N. Baldwin Ave., Marion, IN.\r\n\r\nImmediately following the time of visitation, a memorial service to celebrate Jeff\u2019s life will begin at 4:00 pm. Pastor Brad Merchant will be officiating.\r\n\r\nMemories and condolences may be shared online at www.nswcares.com.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div>\r\n<div class=\"obituary-description__store\">To send flowers to the family of Jeffrey A.
