Robert Wayne Kurrus Sr.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Robert Wayne Kurrus Sr., who departed this life on March 26, 2026, at the age of 81. Rob left behind a legacy of cherished memories, touching the hearts of his family and friends with his compassionate and benevolent spirit.

A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Rob was married to his beloved wife, Carol A. Kurrus, for 61 years. Together, they raised six children: Robert Jr., Michael, Christine, Amy, Elizabeth, and Mindy. He was also a proud member of a large family, one of eight children, and is survived by his brother Larry Kurrus and sister Sissy Harrison.

Rob was a brave soul and a strong leader. He honorably served his country in the Air Force, retiring as a Major. He then continued his career at Boeing as a senior linguistics officer. His deep faith and love for the Lord were central to his life, and he was instrumental in leading many to salvation. Rob was known as a strong provider and the unwavering strength of his family.

Beyond his dedication to family and faith, Rob had a unique love for snakes, enjoyed cooking, and was particularly fond of making homemade jerky. His life exemplified this scripture Matthew 5:16, "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." His favorite scripture was Isaiah 40:31, "Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles."

Though Rob has passed on, his spirit, strength, and faith will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
