To the Bancroft Family:
I'm sorry to hear of Kirk's passing. He was a very kind person, great sense of humor, and when i used to hang around with him and Kyle... considered him a friend. While i haven't seen him in over 20 years, it still hurts to hear this news.
While i know it will take time for your family to overcome the sadness and grief you will surely have, i know your memories of him will get you through.
Sincerest Condolences

Dear Uncle Kirk, today was the day that we came to see you and say our goodbyes. For me this day brought me not only a great sadness but also a great feeling of fear. Ever since I found out you had passed I have been struck with this fear of how would I tell Hannah that you had passed away. I know that she is little and that they say kids are resilient but I didn't want her to feel this deep sadness that I know myself and the rest of our family is feeling. I think that the fear was stemming from my heart knowing that you would never want any of us, especially the littlest of us, to feel sad for you because you never liked feeling as though you were a bother to people. Kirk you should know that you were not a bother to us and in fact you gave more than you ever received. These last couple years of knowing you has shown me more of who you were as a person than my whole life that I'd known you. My most memorable moment was after I had been in my car accident you called me up and told me that it was ok that I was scared because I had been through a traumatic experience and for me not to let anyone tell me how I should've done this or that, that they weren't in the car with me at the time so they have no idea and if they wouldn't leave me alone about it to just tell them(in a not so nice version of this) to bugger off. If you heard that I was still having a hard time you would talk to me about your bad accident and afterwards I didn't feel quite as alone as I did about my experience. Two years later I still hadn't driven in the snow again and you were getting a lift home with me through the worst snow storm of the year. I told you I couldn't do it that I would just get somebody to come get us but you told me I could. You talked me through one of the most stressful and frightening experiences of my life since the accident and gave me the confidence boost I needed to get me through that drive and every snowstorm since. I owe you so much for what you gave me in those times of my life and because of that I owed it to you to find the courage to tell Hannah that you had passed on. I still didn't know how I was going to tell her when Hannah overheard us talking about you and she simply stated "Kirk is at home".That's when it hit me, yes you are at home Kirk, you are home in heaven where you belong. So Kirk as we saw you laying there tonight, sleeping as Hannah put it, I think you would be happy to know that Hannah is going to be fine, and we are all going to be fine in our own time because a 3 year-old reminded us that you are at home. Rest in peace Kirk and send our love to Grandpa, I'm sure you two will have a ton of stories to tell to all the other angels up there. Until we meet again love Samantha, Collin and Hannah

This is a very sad time for our family and while we will question why God choose to take Kirk so early, because I have, someone close to me told me He took him because Kirk has earned his place in Heaven. As I heard this I thought, Yes, he has because he was the kindest, selfless person. He put others before himself and avoided fighting. He has had a very stressful hard last two years. While he dealt with the passing of our father he had many other things to deal with. I am 100% sure there is no one out there that can say Kirk did them wrong because he was just not that kind of person. On Monday Kirk and I texted back and forth throughout most of the day while he was in the hospital. He was telling me that he thinks they forgot to serve lunch and that they were really busy. I told him to just ask it must of slipped their mind but as Kirk was he didn't want to bother them. That's how he was, he didn't want to be a bother to anyone. He joked about a box of donuts on the counter across from him and how he can smell them. He was saying the first thing he was getting when he got out was a Pizza Hut pizza. I told him that blocks your arteries but he said it was ok he was on blood thinners. He had his same sense of humour right to the end. He was telling me how he stock piled his pepper and Mrs. Dash from every meal. He was like a father, as well as an Uncle to Robert. Samantha, Matthew, Adam and Sarah will always cherish the summer vacations they spent up north with him and remember his quick sense of humour. He thought it was comical how Samantha's & Collin's daughter Hannah would always remind him to be careful not to fall when he was going upstairs and how she gave him the thumbs up and said Good job Kirk when he picked his cell phone up out of the car after she reminded him he had forgot it.
As everyone works thru yet another loss we must remember that all both Kirk and Dad would want is peace and happiness. Life is but a blink on Earth but is an eternity in Heaven. As everyone works thru the loss of them both I pray that everyone takes time to reflect on the past, look toward the future and make your short stay on Earth the best it can be. Everyone will have their own way to work thru this, its not going to be the same for everyone because each of us had a different kind of relationship with him. Help and support each other. In a few days we will gather, family and friends, to celebrate who Kirk was and his life. This will not be goodbye but a see you later.
We will sadly miss you and you will be forever in our hearts.
Kristan, Matthew, Adam & Spunky

To say I am devastated would be a understatment. Dear Brother Kirk that thursday you called me I could hear it in your voice your laboured breaths. I said I was calling a ambulance but you said not to bother them just come pick you up. I left right away to take you to the ER. Moments before arriving I called and said I was minutes away. You said ok you would be ready. Pulling up infront of the house, you walked down the driveway sluggishly.Opening the passenger door you fell on the seat. I called 911 and asked for ambulance and fire rescue. Fire rescue arrived first then the ambulance. As they raced you to the hospital I prayed to God that you would be ok. Arriving and waiting for them to assess you. They said you needed rushed to Ottawa. You were put on treatments and seemed to be improving. Last visit Robert and I had with you you looked much better. Then came the call tuesday morning from the hospital. You were not doing well and for me to come quickly. I called Robert and he got to you first. When I arrived they told me you were gone. My world fell apart. My baby brother gone.Your nephew Robert thought the world of you and looked up to you.You were more than just a uncle to him. You were someone he looked up to.You were a kind, generous good hearted person Rest in Peace Dear Brother Kirk. May God hold you in his arms as I hold you in my heart until we meet again. R.I.P

I cannot find the words to describe the pain of losing my uncle Kirk. He was more, is more than just an uncle to me and positively impacted my life more than I think he ever realized. He was the most gentle and caring person I've ever known. Always looking out for other people's wellbeing first and never asking anything in return.
Although his passing was so sudden and unexpected I take comfort in the fact that he has finally found peace. To say he will be missed is the greatest understatement I have ever made.
This is not goodbye, this is see you again.

Are condolences to the Bancroft family.
My memories of Kirk is how quiet and kind he was. A lot of people in racing like to talk how fast they are, but Kirk let his many first place trophies and records speak for him!
We will race together again in heaven kirk...

We used to chat on the cellphones occasionally when running up and down the roads giving each other road reports, shooting the breeze or sharing a joke or two, the one thing I'll always remember was your laugh, I can hear it now, when your looking down and see me looking up towards the heavens, flash your high beams a couple of times to let us know your all right ...

Dear son, there is only one question I keep asking Myself is why did god call you home so early. You were the baby of the family but the last few years you were the man around the house. All I have is memories of all our travels together. How we use to enjoy watching the ships at the harbour or the demolition derbys we would watch together. All the travels to the races with your car or your snowmobile and watching you smile doing what you loved best. I will hold all these memories close to my heart and carry on in life knowing we will be together again one day Kirk when god calls me home....

Dear brother Kirk, it is with deep sadness I am writing this today. Although in the last few years we never talked as much as we should have you were always in my heart through the good times and bad. I never blamed you for the way things were the last few years because god and I both knew that you were a angel. You were kind and quiet and would help anybody if you could. In my heart I hold the memories of growing up with you, we were a team for awhile that no one could defeat! You lived life on the edge racing your mustang and snowmobile always pushing them to the limit! You done things in life that people said could not be done, like the day everyone said there was no way your snowmobile would go over 130 m.p.h after a few turns on the wrenchs and you went 131.5 m.p.h again undefeated! Until we meet again dear brother I will always hold you and our memories close to my heart.
