Obituary

Kirk Driscoll, 64, of East Grand Forks , passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 7, 2025 at Altru Hospital in Grand Forks surrounded by his family and loved ones.

Kirk Richard Driscoll was born January 7, 1961 in Grand Forks, ND, the eldest son of Richard and Mary (Skyberg) Driscoll. He grew up and attended school in East Grand Forks, where his love of family, friends and hands-on work took root early. He grew up farming but was always a mechanic, Kirk built a life around hard work and helping others. He was the proud owner and operator of Driscoll's Auto Service in East Grand Forks, where he was known not only for his skill but also for his laughter, his good-natured teasing, and the way he always made time for a story or a joke. He was a member of the Masonic Temple #292 and a past-president as well as a member of the KEM Shrine.

On March 1, 2003, Kirk married Kristy Barrett in Key West, FL. Together they shared many motorcycle trips and travels before her passing. In later years, Kirk enjoyed a beautiful partnership with Sheryl Manske. They spent many weekends at the lake-boating and visiting with friends, and simply enjoying the moments together.

Kirk loved being outdoors, golfing, playing pool, and spending time with his grandkids. Nothing made him happier than watching their events, sharing a laugh, or telling one of his classic stories.

Kirk is survived by his three sons: Sonny (Lisa) Driscoll of East Grand Forks, Kaleb (Brandi) Driscoll of East Grand Forks and Zak (Krystal) Driscoll of West Fargo; grandchildren Jaden, Kylan, Lawson, Isla and Emrie; siblings Carla Bakken, Kim (Mark) Miller, and Kyle Driscoll all of East Grand Forks; partner Sheryl Manske of Grand Forks and her children Maddy Manske and Nick (Taylor) Manske; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws, and friends who will deeply miss his warmth and humor. He was preceded in death by his wife Kristy Driscoll and parents Dick and Mary Driscoll.
