Kurt Dicus Obituary
Sparks - Kurt passed away on Nov. 11, 2018, Veterans Day. He was born Aug. 13, 1958 in Mitchell SD, and moved to Sparks NV in 1965. Many things may be said of Kurt, but one thing is certain, there was never a dull moment when you were with him. Kurt served in the US Marine Corps from 1979, to 1982. While in basic training he bolstered his already outstanding athleticism by setting a Marine Corps record for "the 3 mile training regiment run with a time of 15 minutes and 50 seconds....with his combat boots on!" He later became a painter by trade, and took great pride in his work. Kurt would do anything for anybody, even if he was the one more in need. Kurt will be buried in the Veterans Cemetery in Fernley, NV at 11:00am Monday Dec. 3rd. Please join us to bid Kurt farewell, followed by lunch and fellowship at the Wigwam cafe in Fernley immediately following the service.

Kurt was my brother for over 36 years. We never let too much time go by without talking and having a good laugh or telling each other a corny joke. He was truly my brother and i will miss him forever. God Speed Ron Moschetti
