Kevin J. Pursel

Kevin Pursel Obituary

Pursel, Kevin J.

You know how there's always that one person in every circle of friends who is the life of the party? The person who would give the very shirt off their back if you needed it? The person you could count on to follow through on a commitment or go out of their way to do you a favor?

Kevin J. Pursel, 47, a proud resident of Green Bay's Broadway district, was that person for many people. Sadly, for his circle of friends, family and chiropractic patients, Kevin made the decision to leave behind his emotional pain on Wednesday, November 12, 2014. He will be missed by many who considered him a friend and confidant.

Born December 28, 1966, in Battle Creek, Michigan, Kevin provided the energy spark for a wide range of friend groups who enjoyed his ability to hold court, pontificating about whatever topic had his interest that day. His humor and infectious energy brought out the playful elements for anyone within earshot.

Broadway politics and redevelopment efforts were high on his list of interests, along with any topic that courted a double-standard argument. Never one to hide his opinions, Kevin would discuss a range of issues with unequaled passion. He took pleasure in pushing the envelope in an attempt to generate a reaction, punctuated by a caustic wit that often ended with a coy, "Did I say that with my outside voice?"

Kevin was the source of entertainment for a regular group at the Saturday morning farmers markets and would welcome guests at all hours to his chic Broadway loft.

His compassion for the revitalization of downtown Green Bay was the driving force behind his office's planned relocation to the Broadway district, supported by his long-time office manager and close friend, Suzanne "Splash" (Jason) Schmechel.

A dedicated member of the chiropractic profession, Kevin took pride in his ability to view the healthcare industry through an objective lens. He was a 1992 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic and owned Advanced Chiropractic in Green Bay.

Kevin also was a medical director of Chiropractic Services for Arise Health Plan, professional coder and peer reviewer. In addition to his office practice, he also owned Catalyst Chiropractic Consulting and was a published author in his profession.

Cooking was Kevin's passion. He was very accomplished at the art and enjoyed sharing gourmet meals with friends. He also was a science fiction nerd, and yes, he spoke conversational Klingon.

Kevin had been active with Sing Out Kalamazoo, the Boy Scouts' Explorer program and Junior Achievement. He was a campus guide at Palmer College and established an ongoing endowment fund for the Palmer campus guides. He was a graduate of Climax (Mich.) High School, and attended Ball State University and Western Michigan University. He had many close friends with whom he remained connected from these involvements.

Kevin is survived by one brother, Keith (Kathryn) Pursel, nephew Michael, and countless friends he considered his extended family. He was preceded in death by his parents, Art and Jackie Pursel, grandparents Leon and Katherine Young, George Pursel and his dear grandmother, Wilma Pursel.

There will be a celebration of Kevin's life at Titletown Brewing Co.'s tap room, 320 N Broadway, Green Bay on Saturday, November 29, from 1-3 p.m. Kevin's family and friends would like to thank Pfotenhauer Funeral Home for assisting with arrangements. Online condolences welcome at www.PfotenhauerFuneralHome.com

A memorial fund has been established for him at Titletown Brewing.

From your family and friends, Kevin, thank you for the smiles and good times. We hope you have found the peace, love and strength you shared with so many. "We love you more."

Still missing him. Seeing a new chiropractor today, because it´s the first time in all these years I can bear the thought of a different caregiver.

My heart and condolences go to the Pursel family. I got to converse with Kevin during the Explorers Portage reunion cookouts. He was a delightful young man who will surely be missed by all who met him. And, I am grateful for the support he gave my daughter, Toni.

Dr. Kevin we still talk about you all the time. We miss you so much. We don't keep much on our refrigerator, but your photo is always hanging on there. Matt and I wish you could meet our daughter Jocelyn who is now 2, and we wanted to tell you we have a baby boy due in March. Matt now sees a chiropractor who knows who you are! Hes been on the hunt for one ever since you left our world. No one can replace you Dr. Kev, see you again someday in the future.

Dr. Kevin is sorely missed by my family and me. My wife and I were patients of his for years, and during that period, we always enjoyed our conversations with him. He was very knowledgeable, and always had us laughing. Dr. Kevin saved me from having rotator cuff surgery when other doctors said I needed it. I only wish I could have been there in his time of need. Such a sad loss of a wonderful, exuberant, and intelligent human being. I only hope that he is in a better place now. Love from our family. We miss you.

December 28, 2014

For years I have taken care of you and now that has come to an end. For you the stillness has brought peace. For me, it is in the stillness and quietness that I miss you terribly. A million times I have wanted to share a joke with you and remember you are just out of sight. You were a great compliment to me; you taught me to be strong when I was not and I taught you to be softer when you were too strong. I carried out your legacy to the best of my abilities and (I hope) in a manner you would have enjoyed. Your greatest legacy is encouraging your inner circle of friends to become friends independently of their friendship with you. It is this inner circle of friends that are now sharing their strength with me during this difficult time. I know the tears and pain will subside but your memory will remain forever. Happy Birthday my dear friend!

Wow. What a beautiful eulogy. Again, while I did not know Kevin Pursel, I have been completely moved by the eloquent writing of those who cared for him. Ms. Hall's tribute to an obviously well-loved and enthusiastic man was amazing. Thanks for sharing such a poignant and detailed account of Kevin's life and the connection you two had - giving us all some very important words to live by.

Toni Hall

December 10, 2014

This was my Eulogy at his Michigan Memorial...

A Fitting Farewell

I was not prepared for this, but then when can one ever be prepared for the unexpected.

I shall start by saying that life is amazing when we find a special person who impacts our world in such a way that when it happens we are never the same again. By chance, or by design, I have been lucky to have met a few people like this.

Kevin Pursel was one of those people.

Growing up in Portage, Michigan, I felt like an oddball – just an outsider always trying to fit in with the crowd. I was skinny, mediocre in sports and not one of the “popular girls.” I had few friends and strict parents. I lived sheltered in my own little bubble but somehow I found a group of misfits who made me feel at home -- the Upjohn Explorer Post #236.

This is where I met Kevin. On our very first encounter he walked up to me and shouted “Well, look at Miss America here. Where are you from?” At that moment it felt as if we had been friends our entire lifetime. This guy had a tremendous personality which would take over a room. He wasn't afraid to have an opinion and was unwaveringly unapologetic for being fussy, showy and quite often snarky. I would venture to say that he was proud to be a “nerd” with the rest of us back then and if there was a competition for the position, he would have been crowned one of the Kings.

I say this with love because that crazy off beat “personality” made Kevin special. His life was never about length but about acts, ideas, discoveries and attitudes. For someone so different than me, Kevin offered unconditional support, encouragement and inspiration to become more than I ever thought possible. I really began to bloom and felt free to take chances as a result of his influence.

Kevin was one of my greatest cheerleaders. When “certain people”
talked me into running for National Explorer President, a position for which I was seriously under qualified, I did so because of Kevin's promise to become my “campaign manager”. He was definitely more excited than I about the project and took on his role with the upmost of seriousness. Kevin created the campaign slogan and picked out the color theme. He made the banners, buttons and flyers himself, even creating his own personally hand drawn caricature of me. As I look at what Kevin did for me I am just blown away at his artistic talent even then.

It is no secret that Kevin hated being from a small place. He wanted to be something else. He wasn't delusional about being a “big star” on Broadway but he always wanted more. He knew back then that he was going to be “special” – to make a difference in the lives of others. Judging by the number of people here, he succeeded.

I consider Kevin one of the lucky ones. He got to work at what he loved. Being a chiropractor was his passion. While in school he would call to tell me about the miracles he witnessed observing adjustments in class. He was proud of both his degree and his license. He exhibited that same sort of a passion for the people he loved.

Kevin was remarkably loyal to all of his friends and sometimes even went over the top in showing it. A few years ago, I made an impulsive decision to get married under the cover of darkness and threw a party on the hottest day of the last century to introduce him to my friends. Once Kevin got over the shock of hearing that I was married, he dropped everything to drive all the way from Green Bay, Wisconsin back to Portage to congratulate me (or maybe verify that it really did happen.) He then stayed an extra day to take me and my husband to dinner. I sat there laughing as Kevin interrogated my new husband for over an hour playing the role of my father with questions like “what were my new husband's true intentions with me?” Kevin threatened my new husband with all sorts of physical, unimaginable harm if my husband would fail to make me happy. Kevin was like that.

I am perplexed at this inexplicable and unexpected situation. I am gripped with a range of deep and complex emotions. I am saddened over the loss of someone so gifted, talented, loving and special. I am angry because I have been left behind without an opportunity to help. Kevin had so many more lives to influence and this world is a little less interesting without him around.

I don't know if any of you remember the story of Winnie The Pooh. In it is a quote I would use if given the chance to say one last thing to my friend. There's a line where Christopher Robin tells Pooh, "If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must remember. You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we are apart, I will always be with you."

We are all here in our own special pain. Saying goodbye is never easy. None of this will ever make any sense. Honoring the bright memories we deeply cherish about our friend is how we shall endure.

Remember the things Kevin did that brought you happiness. Allow the light of fond memories to illuminate the dark corners within your heart.

As we say goodbye, please believe that: one act, one choice does not define a life.

One act, one choice is not a legacy.

Every moment of compassion with each act of kindness, every shared laugh spreading his infectious enthusiasm. His warm smiles, his sharp wit along with every shared hope, every dream, every contribution Kevin accomplished in making this world a better place.

That is what defines a life and creates a legacy. That is how I shall remember my friend.

The person who wrote Kevin's obituary brilliantly captured his essence. My sympathies extend to his family, friends and patients for this great loss. To say he will be missed is an understatement, because he impacted so may people in so many ways.

Dr Scott Wruck

November 30, 2014

Kevin, thank you for your friendship and mentoring over the years and I deeply regret that it has been too many years since I have enjoyed a conversation with you. You truly are a great person and will be loved and missed by so many. I wish you peace, my friend.

Every single time I visited with this scrupulous man, Doctor Kev, he had a canny way of making me feel like I was the most important person in the world.

He will be missed by all who had the pleasure to chat with him when he was physically with us; however, I truly feel his spiritual presence in my heart and mind these past days when I take the time to talk to him in my petitions. He can heal more people now from his heavenly office.

On this Thanksgiving Day, which in the past I have had the pleasure to eat and drink with him and his wonderful friends, I want us all to raise our sipping glass to honor such an amazing man. I will always love you, Doctor Kev!

It is with great sadness that we have lost one of our own from the chiropractic profession. You have impacted many lives along your journey. What a bright light, passionate, enthusiastic, witty, convincing with a contagious laugh are just a few words to describe you. The beautiful obituary and guest book show how much you were loved. My deepest sympathy to Kevin's family and friends. May you find comfort in the beautiful memories you have of Kevin. His light will continue to shine in our hearts, rest peacefully my friend.

Kev,

You always aspired to be minimalist, yet you acquired a collection of odd souls that you called friends. In this vast, intimate group you were decidedly the hub and loudly insisted all should maintain friendships outside their friendship with you. Each friend was introduced to another as "my buddy" or "my dearest friend." I had proudly joined the ranks of "oldest and dearest." I was never sure why you kept so close; you being, well, YOU and me being just me. But that was what you did best, pulled people in. Inclusionary. I was never one to go toe to toe with you unless it was on the dance floor. Which at just the mention of dancing would historically go into one of your grand stories of a wild night long ago. Oh how you could tell a tale! And the way you told it was always so much more entertaining than how it really happened. I learned so much about cooking, wine and paint swatches. I also learned about things I am not sure I ever needed to know (wink, wink, nod, nod, say no more). You left me with a fabulously odd group of souls that are truly my friends too. The most hip chicken coop/guest house and a deep vat of stories going back too Palmer circa 1990.

On this Thanksgiving I thank you Kevin. I thank you for giving me the knowledge to know the difference between mission style and missionary style and between beige, tan, buff and ecru. I thank you for being my trophy date and my professional peer. I am thankful that you loved all that you loved so passionately. And I thank you for giving all that you did for as long as you could. I selfishly wanted more, but you gave all that you had. Thank you my oldest and dearest friend.

Kisses

Happy Thanksgiving to all

Kevin loved Thanksgiving,

Kevin touched us all in so many ways. As we struggle to remember the last time we seen him, talked to him or even text or facebooked him. Did we say the right thing, could we of missed the signs of his struggle. All that goes through our thoughts. I say remember the last hug he gave you. Because his hug was like a piece of heaven. "Did you say Kevin", you know that's Kevin making one more comment. SMILE
Rest in peace my friend, family, rest in peace

Kevin -
You were our Superhero, battling our pain, not allowing us to be victims. Center stage and buoyant you gave us a contact high. Then you became my friend, one of my most favorite people. It's the quiet times I will treasure most. Right now the world seems less vibrant and inside out. But the one thing I do recognize is that knowing you enriched my life and I am a far better person for loving you. Thank you my friend, you are one of the good guys. I adore you. Always in my heart...

You have touched the lives of so many people and your life has made a difference in this world. Thank you for your caring ways and for all you have done to help others. You are loved and missed.

I have always thought our lives are comparable to a growing tree, the branches much like the relationships in our lives. As the tree grows, new branches will form, and weaker ones may fall off. There are those branches who only grow stronger with time, and it seems they will be there for the life of the tree. When a bolt of lighting strikes one of these strong branches from the tree, it can be visible to anyone that the tree is broken.

For myself, as well as countless others, Kevin was that branch. He was one of the most genuine, kind, and honest men I have every had the privilege to know. I feel honored to have been able to share our many moments and conversations over the past few years. Kevin truly sought to better the world around him, always putting others before himself. I will miss our cooking, our lazy Sundays, cocktail infused discussions...most of all I will miss just being able to hear your voice. Difficult though this may be, I can only hope that you found peace. Rest well dear friend.

My heart goes out to Kevin's family in this time of sorrow. My husband and I knew Kevin as a close and a dear friend of our daughter in Sing Out Kalamazoo and their working together at Bilbo's. Kevin loved life (at least as a young man) and was game to trying anything that would give us all a smile or a laugh. His obituary certainly speaks to his integrity and well-lived life and all the friends he made along the way. I'm so sorry Kevin to hear of your emotional struggles along the path of life but know that you certainly made a positive impact on so many people's lives. We'll all miss you but you'll never be forgotten. God bless your family always.

Dr. Kevin, you made me laugh, you made me smile and you helped me with my pain. You are a great doctor but also a great person. You were not just a great doctor to me but a friend. I will miss you. Rest in peace my friend.

Former Patient

November 20, 2014

I am so saddened by the death of Dr. Pursel. Though no longer my Chiropractor, I have fond memories of him and the care I received from him. I will never forget the "above and beyond care" I received after the birth of my first child and my insurance had changed to no longer include him. I had not found a new provider yet and threw my back out. I called Dr. Pursel and he told me to get there and he would take care of me, and take care of me he did after I crawled in on my hands and knees. He was the kind of Dr. you could feel comfortable with and trust in him and that you mattered to him. God Speed Dr. Kevin. You have left an imprint on my heart. To his family and friends, many morn with you. God Bless you all.

Dear, dear Dr. Kev,
I don't know where to begin to tell you what a precious person you were to our family. My cousin Splash introduced us to you years ago and we loved you immediately. Your wit, charm, intelligence and compassion for others was evident right away. You always thought of everyone else and we had no idea how much you were masking. I am so lucky to have spent time with you in August and can hold on to fabulous memories of you. Your legacy is that you had such a major positive impact on so many people and continue to do so even now. Rest in peace, dear friend. Our hearts are broken that you are not with us. May God bless you and watch over you eternally.

Marissa Bieda

Kevin,
I will truly miss your compassion and understanding you had for others, your smile, your laugh, and your witty sense of humor. I will most of all miss your sarcastic, charismatic attitude. You always knew what to say. You were an amazing person and friend who will never be forgotten.

Kay

November 19, 2014

Dr. Kevin my selfish flesh wishes you were still here with me but my heart hopes that you have found peace. You had a great impact on my life and my health and for that I am so thankful you came into my life. I will miss you very much. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends.

Kevin -

Words cannot express how I felt when I heard the devastating news. Words still cannot express how I feel still days after. Words will probably never be found to express the love and the gratitude of knowing you, loving you, being loved by you, and most importantly, sharing seven challenging yet fantastic and memorable years together as partners at 924 Chicago Street.

Kevin, you have always been in my heart and the memory of you and I will always remain. I hope you now are at complete peace with your Mom, your Dad and Wilma, you dear Grandmother.

As we always said when we were together: "Because I knew you... I have been changed for Good."

Dr. Kevin was a breath of cool, fresh air. He worked on/with every member of our family. And when he did he "boldly spoke as no man spoke before." He was passionate, enlightening and a genuine joy to know, He was always ready with the thought of the day on our situation. Friendly above and beyond, enthusiastic with energy, humorous and caring to a "T". We will miss him greatly. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, Suzanne, and Dr. Kay.

Kevin truly had a passion for helping the area chiropractors become "better" in so many ways, including being on equal ground with the care and documentation that we do. He had a tremendous impact on me professionally. Personally, I will miss you so very much. You were a true and always honest friend. My prayers are with you!

Went to Kevin for healing for many years. Beyond his skills as a chiropractor, he was interesting, funny and engaging. I always looked forward to our visits. So terribly sad to hear about his passing- was looking forward to dropping in on him at his new place. Sending hearfelt sympathies to all who knew and loved him.

Dr. Joseph Nelson

November 17, 2014

Can words ever truly express the feelings one goes through after hearing such surprising news as they certainly can not in this case. What I can say is Kevin you will surely be missed. I will miss the laughter every time we were together. What you did for the Chiropractic profession in the Green Bay area is unmeasurable. With every encounter it was clear how much you cared not only about the profession but the people whose lives you touched. Thank you for the advice you have given me over the years. You were more than a colleague you were a friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends.

Miranda Glinski

Kevin, it so sucks that you are the only person who knows how important you were to me, because you introduced me to the writings of the man who is by far my favorite author, David Sedaris. Anyone else would think me ridiculous for saying that that changed my life, but it did. Whenever I'm down, I toss one of his CDs in, and within minutes I'm grinning and can take a fresh look at what's eating at me. Thank you for that, my friend. In fact, I can't thank you enough. I will miss you, and I will always love you for this gift you gave me.

I just can't believe you are gone, like physically gone. So many memories since I was young... working with as a Chiropractic assistant and hearing your laughter. You were like a big brother to me and you will sincerely be missed. Even tho I haven't seen you for a bit, I knew that I could call you & you would be a heartbeat away to discuss options, take care of me when my dad was away.. if you have had any idea how many people cared about you.. would you have left us? I know that there is a reason and purpose to all of the sadness and heartbreak that we are enduring through the process of letting you go, but always keeping the memories, the love, laughter, kindness, the smile that was always contagious. Love you like a little sister.. I know to carry on & continue to help and care about people the way you did by giving up your time just to show you care.. Love you!

Precious, Kevin.
The inspiration you gave me for many years will never be forgotten. The many committees we served on together brought us closer to the human condition. Your love for helping others was apparent in all you did. Your mentoring will forever be alive. May your new journey be purely invigorating. Knowing you was my distinct pleasure. Thank you, my friend.

Kevin~
Your charisma,charm,laugh and bawdy sense of humour will live on in my memory. You were a wonderful co-worker(Bilbos) who taught me how to be a waitress,although a very short lived endeavor,and stressed the importance of knowing the difference between a "domestic" and an "imported" beer. Ahhh...college life. My Mom will truly miss your friendship and I will truly miss hearing of your adventures through her. May God bless you and keep you. Rest in Peace, Kevin.
