Kurt graduated from Eastern Illinois University. He was the proud owner of World Gym and LA Tan in Peoria, but had since retired. Kurt was the epitome of fitness.

 

Above all, Kurt’s biggest pride and joy was his son, Ian. His son said it best, “I wish I could describe everything I’m feeling at this time but words just can’t describe the amount of pain I feel. My father was a great man with a kind soul. He was a fighting spirit that never let anything stop him from achieving his endeavors. He showed me what true strength was in never giving up no matter what. He will forever be in my heart and he won’t be forgotten. Rest in peace to the most amazing father I could ever ask for.”

 

Per Kurt’s wishes, there will be no services.

 

Arrangements are by the Baier Funeral Home in Watseka.
