September 16, 1937 –  May 7, 2015  Wilbur Luman Kirkland, 77, passed at his residence in Valley View on Thursday, May 7, 2015. He was born on September 16, 1937 in Shreveport, Louisiana to Luman Wilbur and Grace (Stone) Kirkland. He served in the Air Force Reserve and was the Sales Manager for a box company, but his passions were his family and his ranch. He opened his gates and his heart to anyone he considered a friend. Always quick with a joke and a warm smile, Kirk touched the lives of everyone that crossed his path and will never be forgotten.
A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, May 11th at Valley View First United Methodist Church with Pastor Cheryl Murphy officiating.

Survivors include his wife, Peggy Kirkland of Valley View; sons, Brian Kirkland of Buda and Kelly Kirkland of Bedford; brother, Perry Kirkland of Granbury; step-sons, Ryon McCann of Hurst and Matt McCann of Denver, Colorado and grandchildren, Savannah, Dalton and Neely Kirkland. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Sylvia Jo Kirkland; brothers, Paul and David Kirkland and his parents.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Valley View First United Methodist Church, 201 Church St. Valley View, Texas 76272. Local arrangements are under the directions of Meador Funeral Home, Gainesville.
