Kurt was a proud member of the Marine Corps. He was a huge Bison fan and loved working for NDSU. The title Kurt was most proud of was being the world’s greatest dad.

Kurt loved watching baseball and spending time at the lake with family.

A special thanks to all the staff at the VA who touched his life immeasurably. His laugh will stay in our hearts forever.
