I did not believe it until I went to the Crew site. That is extremely sad. Prayers for the family and his friends.
this is surreal. i know it is early but was this an accident, previously unknown medical condition, anyone got anything?
A promising full life cut short. Really puts a lot of things in perspective. Thoughts and prayers to his friends and family.
I'm in denial and shock. I thought it was a cruel joke when i first heard it. Tragedy. Displays and chants in his memory are a given. This is so sad
A prayer for Kirk's soul and a rose of solidarity to the people of Columbus for their very tragic loss.
Unbelievable. I'm shocked and saddened. My thoughts and prayers go out first to his family and then the Crew community. He had so much more life to live.
This is absolutely stunning. So young... I can't believe it. 22 years old. Very interested in hearing some details as to what actually happened. Obviously sporting concerns are down the list, but it'll be interesting to see how the team responds. Thoughts and prayers to all those connected to Kirk. Rest in Peace. Puts "Columbus 'Til I Die" in a brand new light. I don't know if I'll ever be able to listen to that chant the same way again.

Woah. Shocking news to wake up to. Thoughts are with his family and friends at this time of extreme sadness.
