On July 9, 1980, an amazing human being came into this world before he should have. He became a full-time resident of the NICU at St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center and stayed there until early October, 1980. Kurt never realized how strong he was and what effort it took to survive his first months.
Kurt lived in Boise from his birth to January 1987 when he moved to Redmond, WA. This is where he began lifelong love of the Seattle Seahawks. He remained in Redmond until June 1990 when he returned to Boise, ID. He lived in West Boise for the remainder of his life.
Kurt attended Cole Elementary, Boise, ID; Audubon Elementary, Redmond, WA; McMillan Elementary, Boise, ID; Lowell Scott Middle School, Boise, ID; and graduated from Centennial High School in May, 1999. He attended Boise State University.
In August, 1996, Kurt began his career at Albertsons on Ustick and Five Mile. He continued there until his death. He was named “Most Valued Employee August 1998”.
What was more important to Kurt was the respect and friendship he gained from colleagues and customers at the store.
Kurt was part of the 12th Man for the Seattle Seahawks. Loud and proud. He was a fan of the BSU Broncos. He loved cars and Miniature Schnauzers. He was a big fan 100.3 The X calling often with song requests of ‘90’s rock music.

September 25, 2020 at 8:21 pmWe met Kurt while being a frequent costumer at his store beginning around 2007. He was always friendly, knew my kids by name and my son loved chatting with him about their beloved Seahawks. We were shocked and saddened to hear of his sudden passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

September 27, 2020 at 9:44 pmI still can’t believe you are gone, like everyone else I was always warmed by you smile and always felt like I was a special friend of yours going through you checkout line. I loved our fb banter and most of all, I love that you made me feel loved as a person just by the smile on your face. I don’t think anyone of us that is still in shock can deny how much you made us feel. You’ll forever be my favorite checker and the best smile.

September 30, 2020 at 4:54 pmKurt is going to be greatly missed by me. I always looked over at the cash registers when I walked into
Albertson to see if he was working and he never failed to say “Hi Bob” with a smile and when he had time we always had small talk. He was a great guy to me and I already and will miss him. My sincere condolences to his family and friends and all those who knew and loved Kurt. Love you man!
