He was born to Bertrand Andrew Sr. and Myra (King) Schureck on August 1, 1946 in LaGrange, Kentucky.
Bert was a longtime member of Buckner Baptist Church, now known as Ashland Baptist Oldham County. He lived a life of service to his family, his country and the Lord. Bert was a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and donated 25 gallons of blood over the course of his life to the American Red Cross. He gave of himself by participating in mission trips with his church, both locally and abroad and opening his home to foster children, whom he loved as his own. He played football for the University of Kentucky. Bert loved his family and friends unconditionally. He was selfless and did not value material things for himself; however, his generosity to others was a constant source of inspiration to those that knew him well.
