Sorry to hear about Kurt's passing. We sent to school together and the teachers would get us mixed up from time to time. Kurt and I were just talking the other day about how you have to really watch out for people when you ride. It is like you are invisible to people when you are on the bikes. I can't believe he is no longer with us. He was a GREAT friend and will be missed by so many. Rest in peace my buddy.

To all who mourn the loss of Kurt, my sincere condolences. I only knew Kurt for two short months, but in that time we talked or texted nearly every day. We had a tender but growing friendship. He taught me so much in that time and showed me what a man of strength, dignity, and honor is like. I will always hold him as a treasure in my heart.
