Kurt was born Aug. 9, 1970, at St. Luke's Hospital, Cedar Rapids, to Charles "Pete" and Carol Weber Peters. He attended Truman, Coolidge, Taft and Jefferson High School, graduating from Jefferson in 1988. After high school, Kurt joined the Marine Corps. He was a carpenter by trade.

Kurt's greatest accomplishment, after having his children, was what he achieved in martial arts. He had several black belts and taught many people his skill. Kurt also taught MMA and had 22 undefeated fights. He was an avid Notre Dame and Miami Dolphins football fan and loved sitting by the campfire and fishing with his buddies.

Instead of flowers, a memorial fund has been established in Kurt's name.
