Williamsburg, Virginia, is set to honor the life of Kirby Wayne Bullock with a Celebration of Life service scheduled for October 8, 2025, from 4pm to 7pm at Alewerks Brewing Company. Bullock, who passed away on September 16, 2025, after a five-year battle with colon cancer, leaves behind a rich legacy filled with family, friends, and a passion for serving his community.
Kirby Bullock was born on April 28, 1955, in Fairbanks, Alaska. Throughout his life, he was known for his diverse professional experiences, which included working various “odd jobs” such as contractor work, house painting, and a career spanning two decades in massage therapy. At the age of 65, he realized his dream of owning Kirbside Hawgs and Dawgs, a beloved hotdog cart that became a popular fixture in Williamsburg.
He is survived by his loving wife, Diane Bullock, along with five children: Devon Bullock, Brandon Bullock, Chelsea Bullock, Shagwhelin Bullock, and Dakota Bullock. Additionally, he is the stepfather to Cameron McConkie, Amber Mason, and Joy Mason. Bullock was also predeceased by his parents, Wayne and Alene Bullock, his brother, James Bullock, and his second wife, Cynthia Millard McConkie Bullock.
Kirby Bullock was deeply involved in his community, serving as a volunteer firefighter in Rist Canyon, Colorado, a role that highlights his commitment to helping others. He shared his love for music through performances with several bands, including Tumbleweed, a Colorado country band that released a vinyl record in 1982. Besides music, he enjoyed dancing and made special memories on the dance floor with his wife, Diane.
The upcoming Celebration of Life service will provide a platform for family, friends, and community members to gather and celebrate Kirby’s vibrant spirit and contributions to those around him. For individuals unable to attend in person, a Facebook Live broadcast will be available on the Kirbside Dawgs and Hawgs Facebook page, allowing virtual attendees to join the festivities.
Kirby’s life story is enriched by his adventurous spirit, which saw him picking pineapples in Lanai, Hawaii, and mastering various skills throughout his varied occupations. He leaves behind not only his immediate family but also numerous nieces, nephews, and grandchildren who will remember him fondly.
Those who wish to pay their respects and share memories of Kirby Wayne Bullock are encouraged to attend the service at Alewerks Brewing Company in Williamsburg. The event promises to be a heartfelt tribute to a cherished member of the community, celebrating his life, loves, and legacy.
