Kip Virts, El Dorado Hills Community Mourns the Loss of a Beloved Colleague and Friend

Kip Virts, El Dorado Hills— The community of El Dorado Hills is grieving the loss of Kip Virts, a cherished friend and colleague. Kip was a skilled anesthesiologist who worked closely with his colleague, Steve Barad, for nearly 37 years. Together, they shared not only professional respect but also a deep friendship, enjoying many moments of joy both in the operating room and on the Sacramento River, where they often went water skiing.

Kip was known for his dedication to his work, ensuring the comfort of patients while Steve performed orthopedic surgeries. His presence brought comfort and reassurance to those around him. Kip’s beloved wife, Melissa, who was equally cherished for her joyful spirit, was known to light up any room she entered with her laughter. Their passing has left a void in the hearts of all who knew them.

In honor of Kip and Melissa’s memory, Steve Barad has organized a fundraiser titled "Honoring Kip and Melissa: A Celebration of Life." The goal is to raise $2,500 to offset the costs of the celebration, which Steve will match with an additional $2,500. The funds will be used to create a meaningful event that includes food, beer, and wine, allowing friends and family to come together and celebrate the beautiful lives that Kip and Melissa shared.

The loss of Kip and Melissa is deeply felt by the community, and they will be remembered for the love, joy, and kindness they brought to everyone around them.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Virts family and all those affected by this profound loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
