On July 20, 2020, the world became a little quieter, and heaven became a little brighter, as Kurt was ushered into the kingdom of heaven to stand in the glory of Jesus Christ.
All those who knew Kurt knew his passion for Jesus. He wanted the world to know of the mercy, grace, love and forgiveness that the Lord offered.
Kurt lived two lives. The first one was before he came to know Jesus. He would often share that life with others so that they could see the transformation that had taken place in him to his second life, with Jesus.
Kurt never pushed his faith on anyone, but also never backed away from a good debate—which he would seldom, if ever, lose.
He proudly served his country in the United States Navy for four years.
Kurt also served his Lord as an associate Pastor at Holy Spirit Community Church in Kenosha, WI for several years.
He did his best to live his life as Jesus shared in Matthew 25:40: “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.”
Kurt once said to a friend, ‘when I die, I don’t care if they forget about me. I just want them to always remember Jesus.’ He will forever be an example for others to know of God’s amazing love.
Be sad for a while, cry when you need to, but also rejoice in knowing Kurt has received the rewards waiting for him. We’re sure he heard the Lord speak the words, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’
Those left behind to rejoice in Kurt’s Memories and love are his wife Patti (Borchers) daughter Sara (Matt) Diehl, sons Joshua (Kathryn) Ault and Benjamin Ault and granddaughter Charli Diehl. He is further survived by sisters Cindy (Jeff) Garretson and Anna (Willie) Radcliffe and several nieces and nephews.
Those waiting to greet him in the Kingdom are his mother and stepfather Marilyn and Warren Tallman and brother Jim Ault.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4

Kurt was a cherished, friend and colleague. He will be missed every minute of every day by myself and all of the service members and their families that he served daily. Kurt will live on through the lives that he touched both personally and professionally and his service both while in Military service and after will never be forgotten.

I only met Kurt a few months ago but his love of Jesus and passion for teaching other biblical financial principles brought us together. Kurt made a difference at Compass and will be missed, though we are rejoicing that he finished well.

Patti and Family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Kurt was the most amazing man I’ve ever had the honor of knowing. His beautiful spirit and passion for Christ touched the lives of so many. The wisdom that he spoke into our lives and each teachable moment will stay with us forever. He gave me the gift of a study bible and I feel his presence surrounding me everytime I read it drawing closer to our Lord and Savior. I pray for peace over you all that you find comfort in knowing that he is smiling down on each and every one of you and will always be with you. God Bless.

SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS PRAYERS FOR YOUR FAMILY
Charles and Sarah Morton says
To Patti and family, we are so deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved husband, father, and grandfather Kurt. We participated in his Compass Financial class April through the beginning of July and cannot even fully express how deeply Kurt impacted our lives in more ways than just financial coaching. Our hearts broke to hear of his passing but we are confident that he is at peace and worshipping our Father in Heaven now. We are keeping you all in our prayers going forward and will remember all the wisdom Kurt passed on to us.
Love in Christ,
Charles and Sarah Morton
Dale Brandes says
Patti and Family : our deepest sympathy for the loss of Kurt. Your family is in our prayers during this difficult time. I have found memories of the times of Kurt ‘a leadership in cub scout pack 544. That was a very special time in many young boys lives. Nathan and his cousins Karl and Kevin Koesser had advanced through cub scouts and became Eagle Scouts. KURT AND SHELLY FLASCH helped establish the very positive roles for those events to happen! we will always be grateful for Kurt’s leadership.I have found memories of our leadership meetings as Kurt and SHELLY were organized to help keep the pack going. I am sure that God had given Kurt the ability to take his gift of leadership to the next level. Our thoughts and prayers are with during this difficult time.
Bill Walters says
Kurt my dear brother I am rejoicing in your home coming, but my sadness in losing you is beyond anything I have known before. Thank you for being in my life, for allowing God to use you, in so many ways, and in so many lives. You have made me a better person. You wear the Crown of Life well. See you soon my brother.
Linda Walters says
Kurt, I will miss you, your fierce love for the Lord, and your family. Your sarcastic wit, lol. I will miss your fellowship the most. Even though your were a thousand miles away, I could feel your love and joy in a text or a phone call. Your home going has left a big hole in our lives. But Great is your Reward, tell Jesus Linda says HI. LOL.
Brian Titel says
Patti and family,
Condolences from the Titel family. Kurt had a great spirit and he always had a smile on his face. He helped the boys with scouting and pine wood derby races. He loved life and family as we all should.

Thank you for letting Kurt be a part of our lives as well. He was such a fun and kind spirit. We will miss him so.
I was able to work with him through his work with the military and Financial Peace University. He truly was a bright spot at any event and people would flock to him for guidance or just a silly story and a great laugh. Thinking of you!
