Kirsh was born in November 1930 in Kamalia, to Faiz Muhammad and Ghulam Fatima. Kamalia is a small town in the District Lyallpur of Punjab province, which was then India (now in Pakistan and renamed Faisalabad). He was the eldest of seven siblings (four brothers and three sisters).

After high school and college, he worked various jobs, including the Public Works Department as a stenographer. He married Ruksana probably in 1954/55. The marriage was arranged by his parents and the ceremony took place in Lahore where Ruksana lived, they went on to have four children, Qaiser, Anjam, Amjad and Rakshinda.

Kirsh decided to leave Pakistan for the UK, a decision which he made entirely independently, without consulting with or seeking his father’s approval. In 1958 he resigned from his job, wrote a letter to his father informing him of his decision to go to England for a better future and he arranged for Ruksana and his children to stay in Kamalia. He travelled by bus/train through Iran and Turkey and probably took the famous Orient Express which used to run between Istanbul and London. After about two years, around 1960, he returned to Pakistan to collect Ruksana and the children and take them back to the UK with him.

The Khursheed Family lived in Leicester on arrival in the UK, then moved to Saffron Waldon after Kirsh got a job at Stansted airport. He worked there for a number of years before moving onto Neve Electronics as Chief test engineer, which entailed a move to Kelso, in the borders of Scotland. It was in Kelso, around 1973/74 that he started his own business, leaving Neve Electronics and starting Tweed Audio, where he designed and built custom mixing desks and other equipment for Broadcast and recording studios. Tweed Audio went on to become a ‘Leading Name’ in the British Broadcast Industry.

The Khursheed family moved to the hamlet of Crailing, near Jedburgh, where they lived for a number of years. The children left home and moved to different locations throughout the world.

In 1998 Kirsh divorced Ruksana and went on to remarry Edwina and have a daughter, Jasmine. He moved to Rhyl, North Wales and started KW electronics, where he worked until he retired in 2000. He spent many of these later years travelling the world, following his passion for photography, exploring new places, basing his living between Florida, Michigan and North Wales.

On his return to North Wales in 2020, he suffered an accident which unfortunately meant a stay in hospital, where his health spiralled down, coinciding with the Covid pandemic and lockdown. He passed away on the morning of the 6th November at Glan Clwyd Hospital, Rhyl in the presence of his eldest son, Qaiser. The strict Covid lockdown sadly meant that the family could not choose the burial that they would have liked for Kirsh but he was buried with a quiet ceremony with his sons Qaiser and Amjad, grandson Faisal and great friend, Colin who were there to pay respects on behalf of all family members in Coed Bell Cemetry, Prestatyn on the 12th November 2020.
