EATON RAPIDS, Mich. — Kirk Stuart Clone passed away suddenly in his home on Dec. 7, 2016, from many heart complications. He was born Aug. 29, 1962, in Jackson, Michigan. He grew up in Vista, Calif., Manhattan, Kan., and Great Bend, returning to Eaton Rapids in 1980.
Kirk loved spending time with his kids and grandkids. He enjoyed kayaking and being outdoors. He loved nothing more than sitting by a fire with friends and family drinking beer and sharing great stories. He will be missed mostly for his great sense of humor and cracking himself up.
