Hello AllMore info on Kurts Wellness Fund | GoFundMe.
I am saddened to let you know that Kurt passed away earlier this afternoon (March 12. He made his journey peacefully with loved ones at his side
More info to come. However, at this point, please do not make any more donations to this page. I will pass along his family's wishes in the coming days
Kurt was like a brother to me. He was so mad at me when he came out of his coma, and found out we had started this page for him, but also so grateful for the love and kindness that everyone here put forth. It is important for you to know that your generosity here, helped Kurt emmensly.
I for one am eternally grateful to all of you and I feel confident that I speak for Rachel when I say she feels the same

My sympathies to your friends and family. I remember that platinum hair keeping ol Neil plugged and ready. Gone too soon.
hey heres a story. crazy horse tour alchemy - 2013 I guess, went up to cleveland saw the show, next day was my hometown show in pittsburgh. when I got back from cleveland I took my dog Otis and went up to hang out by the venue in the afternoon, hoping to catch soundcheck.
We followed some road eyes inside and Otis and I were hanging out, he was a golden doodle and a great dog man. Looked a lot like the pooch in the recent vids from Barn.. anyway Kurt came by to pet my dog, and I recognized him and I said, hey, Otis wants his picture taken with Old Black.
He said come on and took me onstage behind Neil's side I swear man that thing was vibrating on the bench I was so freaked out to be close to it. He picked up old black in one hand and had Otis's leash in the other, and I went to take the pic..
My phone battery was dead! I said, dude, you're not gonna believe this but my phone just died. he looked at me like, ok whats up with this guy.. there was no way he was gonna hand me old black! So he handed me his phone, I took the pic and he sent it to me... He made a day to remember for an old head and a life time fan.
I am sorry to hear this sad news. But I wanted to share this tale.
