RIP Kirksaw

[GeorgiaPeach]

Just seeing a bunch of posts on Facebook saying Kirksaw has passed.....apparently heart attack.

Wtf??? Are you serious? That's horrible if true!

[GD]

f***. That's really, really s*****. I didn't always agree with his opinions but he was sure as s*** a really, really good guy. If this is true, RIP Kirk.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

I used to give Kirk a little s*** every once in a while but he was a good dude. Really nice and took the criticism well. f*** that sucks.

Wow. Now I feel bad for always giving him s***. He was pretty out there but never got aggressive or hostile at all, really too bad.

I believe 50'ish. Not sure on kids.

 

It looks like it happened around 24 hours ago. He posted at 1:15am yesterday on FB

All I can say is RIP.

He was actually really nice. PM'd him a few times.

One of the most veteran posters on the blue jays forum, put in at least 10 years. He'll be missed.

UGH... After time it might be nice to reach out to family to give them our condolences. Probably not the right time right now though. Really sad.

RIP

Horrible news

Crazy, I had no idea he was that old.

Havne't talked to him since the old board but I used to give him s*** all the time too.

His Rajai Davis homerun thread was great last year.

Oh man..... Rest In Peace to him, my heart goes out to him and his family..... this is crappy news

 

I remember he used to tell me a lot about baseball theories relating to the older days... :/

[o2cui2i]

he was the only guy in the forum who had a good perspective on the umps view of the game. dude loved the game.

 

RIP

Damn RIP Kirksaw. Sad news.

I was pitching once in a men's league and couldn't find the plate with a map. Had walked in a run and hit two maybe three guys so the other team was getting unruly. We were already down double digits so they just left me out there to soak it up and the inning just went on and on and got worse and worse. Finally in a 3-2 count I threw a curveball (had the best control over it) that broke really well but was still at least half a foot outside and he rung the guy up emphatically, laughed off his protest and stormed off, right past me as I came off the field where he gave me hell under his breath. "I'm dying back there. Find the goddamn plate. YOU OWE ME ONE!!"

 

I still sucked the next inning but in that moment it was like someone had thrown a drowning man a life preserver and I'll never forget it. Sad times.

Are we sure he's actually dead? It's not like this board hasn't made this mistake before.

 

If true however, R.I.P.

Unless a bunch of strangers to me posting RIP's and farewells on his Facebook page are all fake.....

RIP Kirk. him and I talked poker quite a bit (he ran an underground poker room for quite a long time). I messaged him a question about umpiring last (for a school project) and he replied right away. Super nice guy

[Nabru]

Sad. Liked reading his posts and they sparked good debates. Just so sad.

[TheHurl]

real name was Kirk Sawyers was an umpire in the Intercounty league and a few of my friends from the league have already confirmed this to be true and his FB wall also does.

I've been to hundreds of intercounty games. Probably saw him ump quite a few times.

That's too bad. Gotta admit, I was expecting him to be some over weight old man. Looks like he was in alright shape.

[Anemic0ffense]

Hmmm if true, this is sad. I never really PM'ed him or anything, but he goes wayyyyy back on the Jays boards. Seemed like a nice guy. I have no clue what the man even looked like, but it's sad to see a regular on here go. Again if true, RIP Kirksaw.

[havok24]

Wow this is horrible. I vividly remember conversing with him on the old board. Didn't always agree with his opinions on the game, but he was still a very good poster. Damn this just sucks so much.

 

RIP Kirksaw.

[Captain Adama]

That guy was one of the nicest people on the board. Always took snide jokes towards him in stride.

 

My sincerest condolences to his family.

[Dylan]

Come home to this news, damn

 

RIP
