First, my deepest sympathies to the Downham family. Kurt loved you all deeply and carried you everywhere.
Kurt was a great person and figured out quickly that our biggest legacy in life is the quality of our relationships...and given that and like James Stewart in a wonderful life, "he was the richest man in town".

You were a man in full and will be missed greatly and forever remembered.

Peace brother
