Kirk Hoisington

In Loving Memory of Kirk Anthony Hoisington

After a brief illness with pancreatic cancer, Kirk passed away peacefully on October 14, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of hard work, adventure, a fierce devotion and love for his family.

Kirk entered this world on November 28, 1963, to Donald and Margaret (Smith) Hoisington. He was a graduate of Central Montcalm, class of 1982.

Right out of high school, Kirk began working at Master Precision Mold in Greenville, Michigan, where he dedicated 32 years of his life.

Kirk was deeply devoted to his family, hunting, football, and his friends. He wasn’t always the life of the party, but he had a way about him that made you smile. He always had a quick-witted answer to your question. Hunting was his greatest passion, trying to bag the big buck and often he did. He loved football period…everyone knew that in the fall, Kirk was either hunting or watching football.

Kirk met his wife, Cindy, and they were married on August 1, 1987. They bought a house in Sheridan, where Kirk would build and design his first home-a testament to what a great builder he was.

Together, Kirk and Cindy raised three children: Andrew, York, and Lauren. They went on many adventures watching their children participate in football, wrestling, track and field, and volleyball.

After their children graduated, Kirk and Cindy ventured North to Eastport, Michigan, where they bought a mom-and-pop motel and later added six cottages, Torch Bay Inn. Kirk built and designed the cottages himself, and they are beautiful. For the last 14 years, they built their dream-or, as Kirk might have said, a nightmare, depending on the day!

Kirk always had a special place in his heart for his grandchildren. They were, and always will be, the light of his life; Ayden, Kendall, Walter, Hadley, Milly, and soon baby Taylor.
