Kurt Elm Obituary
Kurt Lee Elm, 61, born on April 19, 1963, passed peacefully at home on March 5, 2025, with his family surrounding him. Kurt is the son of Carol (Skenandore) Elm and Clayton Elm.
Kurt enjoyed a life of hunting with his dad and they collected many coon-hunting trophies and awards. He also enjoyed watching Nascar races and Packer games.
Later in life, he began painting on canvas and many of his paintings are hung up throughout his home. Kurt loved telling stories and jokes with his family and making them laugh. Despite his severe medical conditions, Kurt carried an internal strength that surprised all of us, and on difficult days his mother Carol was always there, taking care of him.
Kurt is survived by his mother Carol Elm, his brother Clayton (Celene) Elm, and his sister Cherie Elm.
He is further survived by nephews; Lotni (Desirae) Elm-Hill, Quanah (Tasha) Vasquez, Quincy Vasquez, Cheyenne Moosey Elm, Cody, Marcus, and Cincere Williams and nieces Jadia (Spencer) Jameson, Raven Nooyen, Brionne Elm, Autumn Elm and MaKaelyn (Sage) Elm-Williams.
And further survived by his Auntie Gloria Lusis and his cousins, Evie (Odin) Anderson, Rick Lusis, and Karl (Tami) Lusis.
Kurt was preceded in death by his father, Clayton Elm, his brothers Douglas and Paul Elm, and his nephews Dustin and Douglas Elm Jr.
The Elm family would like to thank Unity Hospice, St. Vincent Hospital staff, Fresensius Dialysis Center, Dr. Flood and Brittney from the Oneida Health Center for their care and support.
Special gratitude to our grandson/nephew, Cody Williams, who spent much time with his Uncle Kurt.
