Kurt was also an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed vacationing in the mountains. He loved the simple things in life like sitting on the front porch chairs with a great cup of coffee and someone to talk to, Good and Plenty candies, dark chocolate, and dinner out with family.

Kurt took great pride in his family, especially his two children. He always wanted the best for them. He always took extra time with Carson who has special needs, teaching him patiently. He was also there when Allison graduated from Michigan Technological University, as a beaming proud parent who guided her all through school and helped her along her career path.

Throughout his life Kurt loved the Lord. He will be greatly missed.

The visitation will be held at 1:30pm on January 16, 2022 immediately followed by the funeral service at 2:30 at Apostolic Lutheran Church of High Point located at 6024 Checker Road, High Point, NC 27263.
