(KRON) Friends and co-workers describe Kirk Kimberly as a kind and funny person.   They also say that they are in complete shock about the circumstances surrounding his murder.

Kimberly went missing nearly two weeks ago and his body was found in a shallow grave this week on the campus of Sonoma State University.

Kirk Kimberly grew up on a quiet street in Cotati, neighbors say they often saw him out riding his bike  and he always had a smile on his face.

The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department is looking for suspects in Kimberly’s murder.
