He was born September 25, 1978, in Greenville, IL, the son of Alan R. & Christina L. (Sheridan) Probst. Kurt attended Nokomis High School. He could build and fix almost anything. He was self-employed as a tree trimmer, plumber, electrician, roofer, performed small construction projects, and recently retailed electrical supplies, tires, and drainage pipes. Kurt's hobbies included ultralight flying, snowmobiling, jet skiing, boating, scuba diving, and inventing. He especially enjoyed designing and constructing a hangar from scrap parts to house his airplanes. Amazingly Kurt's hobbies and skills were largely self-taught.
