He attended the LeTourneau Technical College in Longview, Texas, for one year.

On August 4, 1973, Kirk suffered injuries in an automobile accident that would effect his physical abilities for the remainder of his life. He would needed the assistance of a wheelchair. Surrounded by the endless love, care and devotion of Wilbur, Leona and his family, Kirk was able to live a productive and meaningful life. Though this tragedy brought physical impairments, it seemed to only strengthen his devotion to his church, family and many friends. Kirk became an inspiration to others. He often shared that he was where God wanted him to be. Kirk committed his life to the Lord as a young man and used his own God-given gifts of encouragement, patience, tolerance, positive attitude and open ear to counsel and mentor many who crossed his path.

All who had the privilege of knowing Kirk will reflect fondly as they picture Kirk's ever smiling face, the twinkle in his eye, and his zest for life despite his disability. His family will miss his uplifting attitude, time spent with "Uncle Kirk" riding on his wheelchair, and his loving, patient and caring ways. Others will miss his encouragement, inspirational personality, and bountiful wealth of knowledge which he often shared so unselfishly. The community will remember Kirk town tooling around in his chair with his favorite jacket and famous furry hats. All will miss his warm, friendly smile, his nod hello, and the chance to stop by for an uplifting visit. Some recall being on the receiving end of one of Kirk's friendly pranks or in years gone by having a friendly chat with "The Rubber Band" man as he was known on CB radio.

In his early years Kirk was a talented vocalist, sharing his tenor voice as a part of The Crusaders Quartet. He had traveled to Mexico and enjoyed spectating at ball games and other events. Kirk was a longtime member of the Calvary Baptist Church in Belmond. For over 20 years he was cared for by Jonell White, for whom Kirk and his family have great appreciation and gratitude.

Kirk was an entrepreneur and businessman, initially operating Kirk Lieberknecht's CB Sales and Service, then operating a satellite television business, and more recently owning a computer repair shop and Kalnet Internet Services, Inc.
