Kurt Briggs Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Jenkins-Soffe Funeral Chapel & Cremation Center - South Jordan on Feb. 1, 2025.
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Kurt Ray Briggs, 59, of West Jordan, Utah. After a courageous battle with cancer, he passed away peacefully on January 28, 2025, surrounded by family and friends. He was born on December 25, 1965, to Duane and Rita Briggs. Kurt lived a life defined by love, loyalty, and a deep appreciation for the outdoors.
Following his high school graduation, Kurt began a lifelong career with Noland and Sons Construction, where he worked with dedication and pride for over four decades. During that time, he created many lasting friendships that he valued deeply.
Kurt found his greatest joy in nature. He loved camping at Strawberry Reservoir, spending countless hours in his boat fishing, and duck hunting, which was his greatest passion. Kurt was incredibly knowledgeable and eager to help teach others, generously sharing his skills and wisdom with those around him. He passed on his love of nature to his children, creating countless cherished memories in the outdoors together. His pride and joy were his kids and grandkids, who he adored and celebrated throughout his life.
Kurt shared a strong bond with his brothers and parents, cherishing their love and support throughout his life.
He is survived by his children Kolbie (John) Meyer, Mickenzie Briggs, and Tyson (Ashley) Briggs; granddaughter Preslee Meyer; parents Duane and Rita Briggs; and brothers Brad (Jolynn) Briggs, Mark (Carol) Briggs, and Guy (Wendy) Briggs.
He was preceded in death by his grandson Treyton Meyer.
