Glen "Ted" Edwin Kirby
August 29, 1941 - December 26, 2003
Funeral arrangements by
Regina Funeral Home
Special Christmas presence awaited Ted on Boxing Day when the welcoming arms of Jesus gathered him into eternal life. Ted Kirby was born premature in Moose Jaw to Mabel and Glen Kirby. On the day of his birth, his aunt Ev sent a telegram to his father saying “A son born well”. Together with his parents and sister Sandra, Ted lived in Avonlea and Claybank. Profoundly hearing impaired from birth, Ted was blessed with parents who worked tirelessly to teach him to talk and who ensured he received a solid, mainstream education. Ted excelled in sports (especially ice hockey), sociability, and mischief. When Ted was 9, the family moved to Trail, BC. Graduating from High School, Ted worked at Cominco Smelter before pursuing a career of Medical Orderly, specializing in the renal area. Ted loved working with people. In 1969, Ted went for a year to New Zealand, fell in love with the country and stayed 11 years. There he trained and worked as a Health Education Officer and a Quality Controller. He met and married his wife Shirley in 1978. They returned to Canada in 1980, and lived in Calgary, Victoria, and Nelson BC. Ted pursued studies at Calgary and Victoria Universities, and worked as a residential counsellor. On two occasions, he and Shirley fostered children with special needs. In 1989, a series of strokes forced him to retire early, but his resolute spirit drew him into valued volunteer work and foster care. In 1996, Shirley and Ted moved to Vancouver to undertake theological studies and then Regina to minister at Norman Kennedy Presbyterian Church. In May of 2003, Ted was diagnosed with severe liver disease and liver cancer. He fought a determined and courageous battle, intent on reaching the goal of his Silver Wedding Anniversary on the 23rd Dec. He gently slipped away into the welcoming arms of Jesus early in the morning of 26th Dec. Ted will be remembered for his deep and passionate faith, his unconditional acceptance and valuing of people, his determined and courageous nature, his love of the outdoors and life, his adventurous spirit, his questing mind, and his loyal and reliable friendship. He leaves to celebrate his life his devoted and much cherished wife, Shirley, loved sister and niece, Sandra and Caren McAndrew, dearly loved NZ niece Fiona, aunt Dot Davis, uncle Bud Green (Helen), NZ nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends from many places. He was predeceased by his parents Mabel and Glen Kirby, sister Ann, parents-in-law Mervyn and Violet Barker, brother-in-law Andrew Barker, uncles and aunts.
Following a determined and courageous struggle with liver cancer, Ted leaves behind his beloved soul partner of 25 years, Rev Shirley Barker-Kirby, to cherish his life and remember him with deep love. Ted is also survived by his precious sister and treasured niece Sandra and Caren McAndrew, much loved Kiwi niece Fiona Barker, various relatives in Canada and New Zealand, and his spiritual families of Norman Kennedy Presbyterian, Regina and First Presbyterian, Nelson, BC. Ted had the gift of unconditional acceptance which fitted him well for his work as a Medical Orderly, Health Education Officer, Quality Controller, Residential Counsellor and foster parent. Although proudly Canadian, he also loved New Zealand, his adopted home for 11 years. A passionate sportsman, he played ice hockey into his late 40’s. Ted’s greatest vocation, and the joy of his life was serving Jesus. Heartfelt thanks to the Palliative Home Care nurses, aides and support service providers who supported Ted’s desire to remain at home. A special thanks to Drs Logan and McHattie. Visitation will be held at the Regina Funeral Home, Hwy #1 at 3:00 p.m. Thursday, January 1, 2004. A worship service of thanksgiving will be held on Friday, January 2, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. in Norman Kennedy Presbyterian Church, 5303 Sherwood Dr, Regina, with Rev Calvin Brown officiating.

“The beloved of the Lord rests between the Holy One’s shoulders”
Arohanui. Ma Ihowa koe e manaaki.
The Living Water
God is the Living Water
The ever-flowing Tide
The steady Rock of Ages
An Ocean, vast and wide.
He restores my fleeting spirit
Puts spring into my step
Adds a bit of sunshine.
Where Godly things are kept.
He is a sure Foundation
Removes the doubts and fear
When I am overcome by life
His voice, I often hear.
He is the Rose of Sharon
The Keeper of my soul
The Lily of the Valley
The One who makes me whole.
He is a gentle Current
A River, running free
My Refuge at the harbor
An Anchor on life’s sea.
He is the Living Water
The Fruit upon the vine
The Grapes when I am hungry
The Essence and the Wine.
Marilyn Ferguson
