Sending love and hugs to Kacie and the whole Newhouse family.
Praying for my Newhouse family and wishing them peace at this time. My Uncle Kurt was quiet and caring and looked out for others, I always felt that growing up. If you couldn’t find him at a family gathering, look for the dog at the party, and that’s who he would be with. I love that about him. Rest in peace Uncle, and may the reunions be glorious. ♥️
I did not know Kurt too well I met him one time but I know he loved his dog Yogi and now I know they’re together
I have such fond memories of Kurt from our childhood. Always a part of our family. Much love to those that loved him. Prayers that the good memories flood your minds as you lay Kurt to rest.
Kurt was a good guy. We had a lot of fun back in the day. He has been a friend ever since high school and I hate he left us too soon and too young!
My deepest sympathies to Kurt’s family and friends. Kacie undoubtedly inherited her love of dogs and water from Kurt and this love will live on through her family.
My deepest sympathies to the family. I have such fond memories of Kurt over these many years. From Southport High School, our college days at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, until now. Kurt and I had a lot of fun and adventures together. May you rest in peace!
