Kirby Palmer is the eldest and the first child born to Deacon Palmer (Victor Williams) and Kelly Palmer (Merrin Dungey) and is the older brother of Major Palmer. Kirby was played by child actors Philip Daniel Bolden, Marshaun Daniel and Omari Lyles. Kirby has a tendency to like stereotypically girlish things, such as wearing a Powerpuff Girl costume for Halloween, causing Deacon to wonder if Kirby might possibly be gay. After separating and going partially through divorce proceedings midway through the series, Kirby's parents reconcile and are back together by the series finale, and he is straight.
