Kurtis was born August 21, 1979 in Iowa City to Larry and Norma (Schmitz) Stanfield. He grew up in Iowa City and graduated from West High School. He enjoyed helping people and fixing things, which led him into a construction & maintenance career.
Kurtis was personable, caring, funny, energetic and full of life. He enjoyed listening to music, playing pool, darts, golfing and the Minnesota Vikings. More than anything, Kurtis was most proud of being a dad to his kids. Family meant the world to him. When he loved, he loved hard.

He was the best uncle to his nieces and nephews that loved him deeply: Mallory (Michael) Fredieu, MJ Fredieu, Mason, Karson, Tyler and Connor Stanfield, and William, Reese and Samuel Aydelotte.
