Kirk A. Sparks was taken away from us tragically soon on March 11, 2019 to be with his Lord. Kirk was born on January 31, 1972 to the late Oakley L and Virgie M (Coffman) Sparks. He was born in Marion and graduated from Pleasant High School. He married Cary D. Williams on April 24, 1999 at Grace Baptist Church in Marion by Rev. Bill Middleton.
Kirk loved training horses with his dad Oakley, and worked as a trainer off and on for 27 plus years, thus most recently being self employed as a horse trainer. If Kirk was known by one thing, it was the love he had for his kids – he doted on them. He was so proud of their academic and sports accomplishments. He also taught them the value of hard work. In his spare time, Kirk loved to hunt and fish, but regularly had his kids going with him.
Kirk was preceded in death by his parents, Oakley and Virgie.
He will be missed by his wife Cary D. (Williams) Sparks, his son Mason A. Sparks, his daughter Laine M. Sparks, and his brother Oakley L. (Tina) Sparks – all of Marion; as well as many friends and co-workers.
The family will receive friends and family for calling hours from 11 AM – 1 PM on Friday 15 March at Grace Baptist Church, 1560 Marion-Marysville Rd., Marion, OH. The funeral service will immediately follow at 1 PM at the church, officiated by Rev. Bill Middleton. Following the service, burial will be at Caledonia Cemetery in Caledonia.
