Kurt Wilde Obituary

Wilde, Kurt Donald

Kurt D. Wilde, 47 of Fond du Lac, passed away at Harbor Haven Rehabilitation Center, Fond du Lac, on March 3, 2014. He was born on September 27, 1966, in Fond du Lac, the son of Donald R. and Elaine J. Schmidt Wilde. Kurt lived most of his adult life in Fond du Lac. He graduated from Goodrich High School and graduated from Brown University in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he trained to be a broadcaster. Kurt worked as a broadcaster in Atlantic, Iowa. Later Kurt struggled with health problems but he maintained a positive attitude and never complained. He never lost his adept sense of humor. He enjoyed music and family events. He could recite or sing the lyrics of most popular songs. Kurt enjoyed going to the family cottage in Vilas County and catching crappies in Heart Lake.

SURVIVORS: Kurt is survived by his parents, Donald and Elaine Wilde, Fond du Lac; three brothers, Bill (Sue) Wilde, Neshkoro, Scott Wilde, Fond du Lac, and David Wilde, Freemont.

Kurt will be cremated and a memorial service will be planned at a later date.

Memorials would be appreciated in Kurt's name to NAMI of Fond du Lac or Community United Methodist Church of North Fond du Lac.

"Kurt resides in heaven where he plans to meet up with friends and family at the big bridge".
