Greg Kirby

Gregory Steven Kirby, born in Urbana, IL, passed away at the age of 76. He passed away where he had lived for most of his life in Santa Barbara, CA. He is survived by his brother, Gary, his former wives, Kathy and Carrie, and his 5 children, Chris, Jon, Jason, Jaime and Derek and their families. Over the last 20 years, Greg was a business owner of a Santa Barbara staple, Replay, which sold collectibles, toys and games.

Greg was many things to many people at varying points in his life. Beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. Greg’s life revolved around his family, which he brought his unwavering sense of generosity to.

His business, Replay, served as a staple of the community for 20 years and was his lifelong dream to run. In the last two days of Replay, a public service was held at the store where members of the community gathered to laugh, tell stories and cry together while they got to take a piece of Replay home with them. The outpour of support from the community was incredibly powerful as hundreds of people came to show their support.

The Kirby family thanks the whole of the Santa Barbara community for loving and supporting Greg the way they did and letting him be such an important part of their lives.
