David Kirby (32) succumbs to AIDS after a three-year struggle against the disease and its social stigmas, as his father, sister and niece stand by. Kirby founded the Stafford Ohio AIDS Foundation, with the aim of educating people about AIDS prevention and working for the rights of those with AIDS. He spent the last two months of his life at Pater Noster House, an alternative community home in Columbus, for people with AIDS.
