Obituary
Kurt D. Cowling, age 60, passed away suddenly on Saturday, February 15, 2025. He was born June 20, 1964, in Neenah, son of the late Duane Cowling and Diane (Cowling) Gerhardt.
Kurt grew up on the family farm in the Town of Vinland and attended Neenah High School. When not at home, his favorite place was up north with Todd, Jane and all of the critters. Kurt spent most of his working career in construction. The last years were his best with Chris at Tri City Home Improvement.
You could find Kurt usually outside mowing or just putzing in his yard, his pride and joy. He also enjoyed feeding and watching the birds. When it was time for a break you could find him on “Kurt's Weather Deck” usually along with some deck Knomes. Sundays were for Nascar and football on the deck.
“Nicest,grumpiest man you'd ever meet”
