Joseph Niles Kirchner, a cherished member of the Bozeman, MT community, tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident on the evening of September 20th, 2024. His family, friends, and loved ones are now coming together to mourn the loss of an incredibly bright light.
The Kirchner family expressed their overwhelming grief and gratitude for the support they’ve received, stating, "The past week has been tragic, shocking, and filled with immense heartbreak. We are so grateful to live in a community where love has poured in from every source to honor Joe and to celebrate his impact on this world."
Joseph’s wife, Bridget Wermers Kirchner, survived the accident and is healing from severe injuries. The Kirchner family has organized a GoFundMe to help cover her medical expenses. They plan to announce a memorial service in the coming months, once Bridget is able to attend and grieve with the family.
Messages of love and support have poured in from the community. Ashlee Wright, in a touching Facebook post, said, "Joe would be so proud of all this love." Angie Ripple added, "Last night was an amazing outpouring of community love for Joe and Bridget." Another heartfelt comment came from Ryan Saul, who said, "You hold the same spirit of kindness that Joe embodied."
The family is also planning a future "Celebration of Life" event where musicians, artists, friends, and the community will gather to honor Joe’s generosity and passion for music. The date and location will be shared early to give time for everyone to attend.
We send our heartfelt prayers to the Kirchner family and their loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. May Joseph Niles Kirchner’s memory shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew him.
