Dear visitor and friends,

On November 19, 2007, Kirk Pamper, our beloved friend, colleague and mentor, was taken from our presence, after a lengthy and courageous battle with chordoma cancer. Please explore this, his personal website, to learn more about the life of this talented and compassionate man.

Kirk’s wishes were to have his remains donated to the University of Tennessee, to be utilized for medical research.  In lieu of funeral services, a memorial celebration of his life has been planned for April 20th of 2008, to be held at the Memphis Botanic Garden in Memphis, Tennessee, where his extensive collection of rare plants will be housed. More information about the Garden, including links to maps and directions to the location, may be found here:

A block of rooms has been arranged with the Memphis Hilton, which is located near the Garden. The Hilton also offers airport shuttle service.
