Kirk Donald Ackerman was born on April 24, 1990 in Regina, Saskatchewan. The middle child of Don and Donna Ackerman, and self-proclaimed favorite. Kirk was raised in Regina, graduated from Balfour Collegiate, and went on to the University of Regina. Kirk was a warrior, a hard worker and made sure when he did something, he did it to the best of his abilities. Kirk was so much more than a son, brother, friend and coach. He was full of potential, a leader, full of passion and grit.
He found his true love with wrestling and the community that came alongside. He started his journey on the mats while in elementary school, and quickly found a love of the sport. That love took him through his high school years, into University and right up until the days before his passing.
Kirk was predeceased by his grandparents George and Barbara Ackerman, Keith and Edith Cranfield, Ivor Huntly; his father Don; wrestling coach Corey Dobrowski; cousin Tina Heisler; and uncle Glen Trentini. Kirk is survived by his loving family, his mother Donna; sister Ashley; and brother Keith (Richelle); other brothers Kelly Mcleod (Randi), Corey Pister; fellow coaches Ron Gonzales, Judd Van Slyck, Shawn Farrow, and numerous adopted brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, as well as the wrestling community.
