Kurt Neff Obituary

Kurt Neff (62) passed away in the early morning hours of July 17th 2025 after battling many hard fought health complications. Kurt was a Central High School graduate of the class of 1981. After High School, Kurt was employed by Vedco, where he put in nearly 30 years of service and built many bonds with his coworkers. In his free time, Kurt was an avid outdoorsman. He thoroughly enjoyed fishing with his family and bragging about his prized 8 lb 23 inch long bass, which he had proudly mounted on his wall. Kurt also enjoyed upland game bird hunting with family, friends, and co-workers. Kurt spent many hours with his father and siblings, building muscle cars, going to car shows, and working in the paint booth. Kurt was very proud of his 1972 Chevy Nova build, which his granddaughter is named after, and the 1955 Chevy pickup he was still working on. Kurt was preceded in death by his parents, John and Barbara (Roesle) Neff, Sister Annette, and infant sister Nancy. He is survived by his daughter Barbara Brummer, son-in-law Matt Brummer, and grandchildren Payton, Brody, and Kamden. He is also survived by his brother Ed Neff, sister-in-law Kristina, and their children. Services for Kurt have not yet been scheduled. Heaton-Bowman-Smith & Sidenfaden Chapel
