I used to work for North in Forest Lake as a medic. I remember working a cardiac 911 with Kurt a couple years ago. He was so helpful with patient care and the patient´s family. Such a loss for our community. My deepest condolences to Kurt´s family and the Forest Lake Police Department. He will be missed.

My deepest condolences, I met Kurt earlier in the day on the trail for the first time and we got talking about his new Honda Talon. What a nice guy, he left quite an impression on me. Hard to believe what happened to him 7 hours later. My prayers are with you all.
