I was very saddened to hear this news today and wish peace for the family and friends he left around the world. I only came to know Kurt over the last dozen years or so via an investment club and most recently through our shared love of photography. I loved his spirit and love and care for both people and the earth he experienced. He was a kind and generous man and he is missed. I pray that the memories of good times will quickly replace the pain and emptiness of his passing for all those who...

I'm sorry for your loss and I'm sorry I didn't get to know Kurt. His obit was a wonderful tribute to him and all the things he accomplished. I so enjoyed taking classes at UW from Art and got to know Kris while he was in college; as I was his landlady, (let me tell you.....). I believe it sure helps to have a large family to share these sad times and I know he leaves a big hole. Sincere sympathy to all the Brownells.

I am so very sorry to hear of Kurt‘s passing. I knew Kurt beginning in elementary school at Emerson, where we both played in the orchestra, and we stayed in touch over the years, despite the miles. My deepest condolences to Alanna and the entire Brownell family.
May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of Kurt´s passing. I knew him as a kind person, a friend of my husband (Robert E. Lee of Rockland). They knew each other from their common interests in the prairie. Kurt was one of the kind people involved in collecting special wild flowers for my husband´s funeral in 2012. Sending sympathy and blessings to his family.

I also send my deepest condolences to Kurt´s family. I knew Kurt from his many years as an active member of Coulee Region Audubon. He absolutely loved his work during his time as a Natural Resource Specialist with the Army Corps of Engineers on the Upper Mississippi River. I too was always impressed with his knowledge of environment issues. He was a true conservationist. He gave life- saving advice to my wife when she had late onset Lyme disease, as he himself had suffered from both Lyme and...

I worked with Kurt in the Fort McCoy Environmental Office for many years. We worked on several environmental projects together and I was always impressed with his level of knowledge. We also got in a few bike rides together and enjoyed that. He was a good friend and will be missed. Rest in peace Kurt.

Kirk was a good guy. I will miss FaceTime with him during covid lockdown since we were in the same side of the world. Rest In Peace. We’ll see each other again.

Kurt was a special man and I enjoyed when he sang with us in the Celebration choir and Community choir. May he rest in peace.
