In recent years, he found relaxation in creating a variety of sculptures using old horseshoes. He liked riding horses or four-wheelers to be in the beauty and relaxation of the mountains or deserts, camping trips with his dad and mom and brothers in early years, and later, when his sons were along. Another thing he sure liked was the beaches around San Diego and the family trips to Disneyland and he was purely happy talking with, competing alongside of, and sharing jokes and stories with his rodeo buddies, helping the Gurney family with branding, and loved roping at Steve and Karen Young’s place. He continued his passion for team roping, as a heeler, in jackpots and rodeos for the remainder of his life, with highlights being competing with his brother, Matt, at the Cheyenne “Daddy Of ‘Em All” Frontier Days Rodeo in July of 2014, and several Fiesta Days Rodeos in his hometown, Spanish Fork. He competed in high school rodeo as a heeler in team roping, learning to hone his skill with coaching from his dad, and a ton of mentoring from Duane Sorensen. His Grandma Losee lovingly told him that he was a really good runner – he just ran a long time in one spot! Kurt was riding a horse from the time he was a toddler, and competed at many, many 4-H horse shows with his horse, Peanuts. His only drawback in sports was that he wasn’t a particularly fast runner. He was a talented athlete throughout his youth, playing basketball and baseball, being particularly good at pitching and batting, playing in several championship games. Kurt could figure out how to make or fix just about anything, including having skills as a mechanic, woodworking, and welding and found satisfaction helping others however and whenever he could.įrom the time he was very young, he loved his Denver Broncos, through thick and thin. Since then, his career, starting with Richard Ericksen/E & E Sheet Metal and then with Neal and Chad Craig/Central Utah Sheet Metal, has been spent as a commercial sheet metal worker, where he used his special aptitude for math and “building stuff”. He worked part-time for Glen Larson/Frontier Trailers, transporting horse trailers around the western states and for Shane Giles, doing the cutting and welding of poles for arenas and other ranch fencing. He worked during high school for Grant and Ty Tingey at the auction. Kurt was also married to Aubrie Frye, formerly of Mapleton, Utah divorced December 2020. Kurt and Jennifer divorced, but have been great at co-parenting their sons, and have remained friends.

He married Jennifer Scott in April, 2004, and together they have two of the best sons, ever: Mason and Talon. He attended Lake Shore Elementary and Brockbank Elementary, junior high and high school in Spanish Fork, graduating with honors from Spanish Fork High School, Class of 1997. He had great fun with his Losee and Nelson cousins at the many get-togethers for birthdays, Christmases and other holidays, or just plain any day hanging out together he loved birthday dates with Grandma Nelson, playing cards and dominoes with Grandpa Nelson stayovers at Grandma Losee’s and eating her fabulous macaroni and homemade tomato juice with homemade bread. He had a happy childhood, roaming the backroads, fields, and sloughs spearing carp, climbing trees – much of the time with his co-horts in adventure, the Gordon boys. He was the second son of Michael and Cheris Nelson Losee He grew in Lake Shore, Utah, with his older brother, Matt and younger brother, Josh.

Kurt was born on July 25, 1979, in the wee hours of the morning not long after the final performance of the Fiesta Days Rodeo, where his mother got the message from him that he was ready to be born. He fought like the competitor he’s always been, through a two-week coma, but decided to leave his body on his own terms on a gray-clouded Saturday afternoon we watched him leave as a beam of sunshine came through the window of his room and paved his way to heaven. Kurt Nelson Losee, age 41, a devoted son, beloved brother, ultimate dad a fun uncle, and friend to many, passed away far too young, and unexpectedly, after a short battle with pancreatitis and subsequent cardiac arrest. A golden heart stopped beating on February 20, 2021.
