Kurt valued friendship & family & was well known for going the extra mile for his friends, of which he had many. Whether picking you up when your car broke down, needing a ride from the airport at 11pm, to cooking his famous bbq brisket on your birthday, bringing you homemade soup when you were sick, & even spending a good part of his birthday taking you to a Dr's appt. He was there, making himself available to the needs of others. Thank you, Kurt, for 46 years of friendship, kindness, uncontrollable laughter, and always being there for me. You've been a true friend in every sense of the word. Love you & miss you dearly.

Oh Kurt. It had been several decades since we last talked. We met back in the early 80's I still remember the Bug you drove. The fun we all had with friends at the college theatre. As I get older myself, I realize that more and more of my friends will be gone. Your laughter was always encouraging even after Corey and I were in the accident with that 18 wheeler. And also the times I was at MD Anderson undergoing treatments for cancer. Oh how I wish that I could be there for your service but driving is out for me as my life long vision issues make it impossible now. Fly high my friend.

Kurt although I wasn't as close to you as my sister I'm still deeply saddened to have learned of this. Even though we didn't talk or hang out much you will be missed.

Oh, my friend, so many people loved you, you will be missed more than words can say. Your passing has taken a piece of everyone's heart and life will never be the same.
You took me under your wing and embraced me when my life imploded around me. You took a devastated person and helped me heal and I will forever be thankful to you. Not only you but your whole family helped me become a better person. Even when I moved away and my brother got sick, I called you and you just listened and let me cry over the phone, I do not know how many times.
You were everyone's friend, father figured, a son and a brother and Uncle Kurt to your nieces and nephews. You had a heart as big as Texas and took in strays with four legs or two legs and embraced us.
I miss you Kurt, but thankful more than ever that I called you family, and I am a much better person for having known you. If I hear a phantom air horn in my sleep, I will know it is you.

Oh my friend how this just doesn't seem real nor right. I can just hear you laughing laughing at this with that sassy, spunk you had and just shrugging them shoulders going 🤣. You my friend will be so missed. I feel blessed for calling you a friend/FAMILY. Thank you for being part of my son's lives. You loved them unconditionally like they were your own. I know they are missing you very much. Rest easy my friend. Thank you for the good times. Until God let's us meet again.
