Graduated from Faribault High School the Night School Program class of 1992, one of four. Always taking odd jobs, never truly finding the one for him.

His friends and family were very important to him, always helping people even if it meant him going without, he made mistakes in life, but he always owned up to them. He was a young father who adored his kids, he had different relationships with his kids, but he loved them all, even taking on two extras, and always being the partner in crime to his nieces and nephews.

He is survived by his children Lestat, Nena, Rosaria, Lily, Delilah, and Micheal; siblings, Theresa Kuntze, Karen (Jim) Blacksted, Tim (Shandice) Kuntze; and his many nieces and nephews, and other relatives.
