Kurt Peters Obituary
Kurt K. Peters, 51, passed away to his heavenly home on Saturday, April 2, 2022 with his loving family by his side at the Donna and Dennis Oldorf Hospice House from complications of a stroke. Per Kurt’s request he was cremated. Private family burial at Urbana Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Monarch Room at Teahen Funeral Home on Saturday, April 9, 2022 from 1 to 3 p.m. where coffee and cookies will be served.
Kurt is survived by his children Jakob, Kade and Karleigh Peters; his parents Pete and Carol Peters; sisters, Lisa (Jeff) Holten and Lorene (Tom) Spencer of Vinton; brother Mark (Jacqueline) Peters of Montana; brother-in-law, Brad Holsinger of Walker and many nieces and nephews and extended family members.
Kurt was preceded in death by his grandparents and sister Deanna Holsinger.
Kurt was born August 9th 1970 at St. Luke’s Hospital Cedar Rapids to Charles “Pete” and Carol Weber Peters. He attended Truman, Coolidge, Taft, and Jefferson High School, graduating from Jefferson in 1988. After high school, Kurt joined the Marine Corp. He was a carpenter by trade.
Kurt’s greatest accomplishment after having his children, was what he achieved in martial arts. He had several black belts and taught many people his skill. Kurt also taught MMA and had 22 undefeated fights. He was an avid Notre Dame and Miami Dolphins football fan and loved sitting by the campfire and fishing with his buddies.
Instead of flowers, a memorial fund has been established in Kurt’s name.

Remember the first time I met Mr peters. He was charming and he always had a calm voice until you made him mad. He was a ladies man that was no doubt. And all the ladies fell head over heels for him. He was definitely a vigilante in disguise he was funny he was intelligent he was brilliant. He would share his military stories the one sad thing was his war was never over with and now he can be at peace I love you my shadow man those were the last three words you said to me the last time I seen you fly high Marine and watch from above protect us all we all love and miss you

Met Kurt 27+ years ago as a new neighbor when he was working the doors of several local bars. He always watched out for our group of women to come into the bar and we always felt safe there. I am so sorry for your loss, may he rest in peace.

Carol and Pete, I was so sorry to learn of Kurt’s passing. It’s been a very long time since our boys played together. I can only guess the pain this loss must be for you. I am so sorry. www.teahenfuneralhome.com

Laughter and kindness. Two things always in great supply when spending time with KP. Over the last 30 years he’s been a friend, protector, roommate, co-worker, house guest, takeover grill master (that’s where you didn’t ask for help, but he stole your tongs and spatula and shoved you out from in front of your own grill anyway), wedding usher, leak-fixer, drywall-patcher, peacemaker, personal chiropractor, instructor, road-trip companion. He filled a lot of roles for a lot of us. And no matter how much time had passed, you could always pick up right where you left off. The time that passes may be a little longer this time, but I hope someday to pick up where we left off.
