Dirk R Firman of Nashua, IA, a man known for his selflessness, incredible sense of humor, and huge heart, passed away at 66 years old on September 9, 2023. A celebration of life will be held from 4-8 p.m. on Friday, September 22, 2023, at Dirk’s favorite place, his backyard. Dirk was born September 19, 1956, in Charles City, IA. He was the youngest son of Bruce and Margery (Scheu) Firman. Dirk graduated from Nashua High School with the class of 1975. Throughout high school, he worked at Shep's Standard Service Station. After graduation, he attended Rochester Community and Technical College. Dirk also worked for KLEU Radio Station in Waterloo, IA, and was a DJ at the Poison Apple in Cedar Falls, IA. Dirk always fondly told the story of how he met the love of his life, Janise E Abrams; they locked eyes from across the room while The Beatles’ song “I Saw You Standing There” played in the background. They were inseparable ever since, making things official on October 26, 1985, with a beautiful wedding ceremony on a houseboat on the Mississippi River. They were later blessed with two daughters, Tehrene and Karlissa. In 1985, Dirk and Janise moved to Rochester, MN, where they started their business TransVideo Teleproductions together. In 1990, they moved back to Nashua to raise their girls as they continued running their business.
