Born 9-19-1952 Kirk Eugene Verhaeghe of Portland, Oregon has sadly passed away peacefully 1-11-2024. Kirk was born and raised in Oregon and lived a very full life filled with love, laughter, and spontaneity. He was the child of Richard Emile Verhaeghe and Jo Ann Yagger. Kirk was always with a smile on his face and never seemed to think of himself, always putting others before him. His generosity was a true testament to his character. Kirk spent his work life as an electrical salesman for Consolidated Electrical Distributors and Taylor Electric. Outside of work Kirk enjoyed being outdoors, watching the sun set, playing golf, and fishing when he could get the chance. He was also known as Papa Kirk from many and is survived by his; sister (Jodie Marshall), his brother (Rick Verhaeghe), his only child (Hannah Jo Chiaravalloti) who was his everything, and his four grandchildren (Roman Eugene Disinger, Ezra Rose Verhaeghe, Ilaria M. Chiaravalloti, and Ilenia G. Chiaravalloti).
