We miss you so much, Dad.
I’m selfish that I wish you were still here so I could hold your hand and tell you how much I love you. But I’m also relieved that you are no longer in pain anymore. You were the strongest man I knew, and yet you wore your heart on your sleeve.
Love you…
See you on the other side, where we can drink a beer and go fishing once more.

Very sad to hear this. Lots of love to his family and I am glad I got to meet and party with a great man. Always had a smile and cared about everyone. R.I.P. See you up there my good friend. We will have a Molson Dry and a few shooters.
Jenn, Nick, Sian and Georgia, I am so sorry for your loss and I wish I could be there for you today. Please know that I have been thinking of you often and I am sending lots of love and hugs to you all at this difficult time.
Sitting with my family reading stories we’ve never heard. Thank you all so much. We feel and appreciate it all- Jenn, Nick, Sian & Georgia

With appreciation for the friendship in our younger years, I will think of Kurt with fondness. I trust his brothers, wife and children will find many happy memories to share.
Big hug to Kurt’s family! Great memories of growing up with Kurt and crazy
School daze! Rest easy my friend.
A star is shining brighter tonight.
My condolences to all of Kurt’s family and freinds.
Dear Jenn and family: It is with heavy hearts we say good-bye to our dear nephew Kurt who passed far too young. He was greatly loved by his growing family and all who had the good fortune to know him. Jenn, you were an amazing care giver to Kurt and for that we will always be greatful. Sometimes life’s tragedies have a way of making one stronger and remember you will be forever loved by Kurt! You brought great happiness into his life and together created three beautiful souls which is life’s greatest accomplishment.
Kurt was a serious, hard working person with a great amount of integrity driven by loyalty. I remember at age 6 when he was ring bearer at our wedding with the unusual task of wearing a kilt. This request was from my husband Neil who has a great love for his Scottish heritage. This met with a great amount of teasing from family members but after seeing a picture of a man in a kilt Kurt went on to complete this task with unconditional commitment. We shall miss you always Kurt but rest well in God’s care! Much love Auntie Jeannette and Uncle Neil
