Kirk Lewis Fausett

Kirk Lewis Fausett from Irvine, California, passed away on June 16, 2024, ending his battle with cancer treatments.

Kirk was born on October 6, 1963, in Provo, Utah to Lewis and Flarence “Kay” Fausett. He grew up in West Jordan and Bluebell, Utah. Growing up on a ranch instilled values of hard work and helping others. After Kirk graduated from Altamont High School in 1982, he served a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Toronto, Canada, an experience on which he would look back fondly and share precious memories throughout his life. He studied at Brigham Young University.

In 1985, Kirk married Shari Bringhurst and they became parents of two daughters, Kayla and Kassie. Later, Kirk and his family moved to California.

Years after his first marriage ended, Kirk met Deena Earl in Big Bear, California at a Singles Retreat (when Deena offered a quiet place for his sleeping daughter). Kirk and Deena fell in love and were married in the LDS San Diego Temple. Over the years, two more daughters, Kiara and Kallie, joined their family!

Kirk enjoyed hunting (for elk and the perfect beach spot), BYU football, Angels baseball, sharing navigation skills and tips, scuba-diving, singing, sitting in traffic on the 91, experiencing adventurous food, traveling, and calculating his own maneuvers in case he became a contestant on “The Amazing Race”. He was patriotic, entrepreneurial, willing to help anyone and could repair anything!

As a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he served in a variety of church callings with people of all ages. Many people had the experience of being welcomed or helped by Kirk in some way. He valued family—both immediate and extended. He enjoyed playing with his grandkids, telling dad-jokes, and reminding his family how amazing Toronto is. He also attended (and often assisted with) countless concerts, football games, theater and musical performances, dance and cheer competitions in which his daughters participated. He treasured family reunions!

Kirk is survived by his wife, Deena; daughters—Kayla (Steven), Kassie, Kiara (Ben), Kallie; grandchildren—Peyton, Scotlynn, Zander, Iversen, and Henry; parents— Lewis and Kay Fausett; siblings—Lee, Ramona, Denise, Scott, Luke, David, Shawn; as well as his in-laws, aunts, uncles, dozens of nieces and nephews, and many loved ones.
