Steven E. Zirk, age 66 of rural Kendall, WI, passed away Thursday, August 4, at Mulder’s Health Facility in West Salem. Steve was born July 6, 1956, to Edward (Eddie) Zirk, Jr. and Betty (Meacham) Zirk. He graduated 1974 from Royall High School. Steve grew up on a dairy farm and maintained the family farm, with the help of his brothers after the tragic death of his father.
