I have so many fond memories of Kurt. We spent a lot of time together in those formative high school years and I’ll always remember his beautiful smile. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. He will be missed. Sending love and condolences to his brother and family as they deal with this tragic loss. ❤️


Keep shreading... I will miss you bro.

Love,
Your Brother Derek

My condolences to Kurt’s family. Saddened to lose a close friend so suddenly. Some of my best times in my life were with Kurt , he was adventurous , courageous and most of all a loyal friend . He was there for me for me through all the ups and downs in my life . I will always remember him fondly he will always have a place in my heart . Rest In Peace my friend we will miss you . 

I met Kurt through his brother Derek back in 1984 or 1985 through common  interest of windsurfing. I remember Kurt was still at a beginner stage windsurfing,  but boy he had no fear at all in going out in a winter storm - blue in the face from cold - coast guard looking for him - and there he was dragging his equipment along the tracks of white Rock beach with that crazy adrenaline look in his face/eyes! I new then this was a mate and a force to be reckoned with!! This sports enthusiasm and love fore life led into skiing trips up at Whistler Blackcomb and more windsurfing at the Gorge and Squamish , BC..


He will be greatly missed! A bloody shame,

Love you brother!

To Ned and Derek.  We pass on our deepest condolences on Kurt's passing.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow.



Saddened to hear about Kurt. We were high school pals but drifted apart as time went on. I hadn’t seen Kurt since the late 90’s and often wondered where and how he was doing. Probably my most vivid memory of Kurt was when we were skiing Whistler on a powder day circa 1989 and he hit the waterfall drop- a 40’ cliff jump just to skiers left off the peak chair. Legend status secured that day.  My sincere condolences to Kurt’s family. May he Rest In Peace.

Kurt you were fearless and your love for life was infectious.  So smart and talented and so sad and such a waste you're gone. I will never forget all the great times skiing and windsurfing,  probably your two great loves as I know you. Rest in peace my friend you will be missed
