Kevin George Shirts

Kevin George Shirts, 37, of Snoqualmie Pass, WA passed away Monday September 28, 2015 in his home as a result of suicide after months of struggling with severe depression. Kevin was an amazing father, Son, Husband, Brother, Uncle, Cousin and friend. We are heartbroken by the loss of Kevin and will forever miss his silly grin, his love and his friendship. Kevin was born June 20, 1978 in Provo, Utah. He spent most of his childhood in Sandy, Utah where he graduated from Valley High School. He always loved the mountains and the outdoors, especially snowboarding and hiking. He was married to Melissa Bigelow with whom he had two wonderful boys. Melissa, Jayden, and Ryder were the greatest sources of pride and joy in his life. He and his family moved to Washington where he lived for more than 10 years and worked as a contractor in the home construction industry. He loved living in Washington and passed on his love for the outdoors to his sons and continued to share his passion with his many wonderful friends. He is survived by Melissa, children Jayden and Ryder, parents George and Joyce Shirts, siblings John Shirts, Janene Whitaker, Amy Driscoll, Lisa Horne, Randy Shirts, Mark Shirts, and Cory Shirts, plus 7 nieces, 8 nephews, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He is preceded in death by his Grandparents, Uncles Ray Jensen and Joe Cappo, Cousins Nicholas Jensen and Cara Cappo. There will be a memorial service Saturday October 3rd in North Bend, WA at the community center and pavilion at Si View Park from 1pm to 4pm. We are asking that donations be made to help support his boys and cover funeral costs.
