Scott Zachary Kurtz

Scott Zachary Kurtz, 36, of Deerfield Beach, FL, passed away unexpectedly on June 24, 2023.
Scott was born on September 16, 1986 to Kevin and Carol Kurtz in Jackson, MI. After Scott graduated from Grosse Pointe North High School in 2004, he went on to study Accounting at Western Michigan University and Baker College. After graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Scott went on to work as an auditor, most recently at Holyfield & Thomas LLC in West Palm Beach.
Scott was predeceased by his mother, Carol Kurtz and grandfather, Walter Kurtz. He is survived by his father, Kevin Kurtz, sister, Andrea (Eric) Nelson and family, grandmother, Patricia (Walter) Kurtz, several aunts and uncles including Kurt Kurtz, Kerri Sue (Wade) Dougherty, Keith (Carolyn) Kurtz, Karl (Connie) Kurtz, Kyle "Deeder" (Sue) Kurtz, Kelly (Bill) Montagne, and Kris (Cathe) Kurtz along with many first and second cousins.
Scott had a big heart and loved spending time with his family and friends. He loved playing baseball, he hit his first homerun and won his first Little League World Series at Ghesquiere Park in Grosse Pointe Woods. He was a numbers guy and excelled in his field. When he was in college, he would correct his Accounting professors on a regular basis (he was always right) and took pride in knowing all the answers.
