Calvin Shirk: Director, Recording Secretary, 5k Event Planning Team

Hi, I’m Calvin Shirk and I was born in Ephrata, Pa. (Lancaster County). I’m the oldest of six children, and for the most part grew up on a dairy farm. The tractors always held more interest than the cows did for me. I met my wife Martha in the youth group of church conference we both grew up in. Our parents knew each other from the same youth group twenty some years earlier. We lived two hours apart, so I spent many hours and miles on the road each weekend of our courtship. We got married in February of 2001 and settled on a acre horse farm. The first of our nine living children was born in December of 2001. I built fence as my first job off of the farm, then moved on to driving big trucks. I’ve had at least part of my work include a CDL class truck ever since. In December 2006 we moved to McVeytown, Pa. and spent almost eight years there before moving to Virginia in September 2014. Two months after moving to Virginia, we were introduced to the Sadie Rose Foundation after experiencing the second miscarriage of our marriage. In 2017 we got a lot more involved with the Sadie Rose Foundation after a tumultuous pregnancy that ended in a live birth, but we were only able to have our dear son earth-side for 23 hours before letting him go as he was born without any kidneys. Regina and the rest of the group has been a real support for our family as we walk this path of grief. As I mentioned earlier we do have nine living children, ranging in age from 17 to 1 year old. And of those nine, 5 are boys, and four are girls. We now live in Broadway, Va on 13 acres that is also home to 5 goats, a few cats and a dog. A local farmer also put some cows on the pasture this summer. We try to do a big garden, and hope to expand our livestock into something profitable. With 11 people in the household, there is always something going on somewhere!
