As a dedicated Culinary Instructor, Kurt taught in both Orange County and Rappahannock County public schools for 20 years, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of his students. Kurt was a talented chef who brought people together through the joy of food. His passion of teaching and sharing how to cook with others was a reflection of his generous soul. He had an admirable ability to inspire and motivate others which made him a treasure amongst all.

Kurt's legacy extends far beyond his family and colleagues. He inspired everyone who knew him with his kindness and compassion. His memory will live on through the countless lives he touched, and his impact will continue to be felt in the communities where he served.
