I originally met Kurt when we both worked for the same company. It was through work that someone organized a trek out to the local DZ to take the first jump course. Kurt and I went out with a group of eighteen people from work to do our first jump. We all had a great time and I was able to convince Kurt that we should go back and do a second jump. We travelled out to the dropzone together every week and were almost inseparable as we progressed towards our A-licences. After a few years we started travelling together to other DZs like Arizona and Montana. Kurt truly loved skydiving. I don't think he missed a year going to Lost Prairie. We made a lot of friends everywhere we went. I'm sure he will be missed by all.
