First Lieutenant Curtis Charles Berenguer unexpectedly passed on December 3, 2017 in Boise ID. Born to Janet and Gilbert Berenguer on November 27, 1992 in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Kurt graduated from Novi High School in 2010.

Kurt married his beautiful bride Colleen Coslett Walker of Colorado Springs on May 23, 2015 in Wichita Falls, TX, where Kurt completed the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Training program. Most recently he was stationed at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Mountain Home ID, as a mission-qualified F-15E Strike Eagle pilot.
Kurt is survived by his wife, his parents, sister Allyson Berenguer, brother Collin Berenguer, grandparents Charles & Lou Berenguer, and Charles Greene. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at the Air Force Academy cadet chapel on Friday, December 15, at 1:30 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made to the Air Force Academy soaring team: https://www2.usafa.org/Give/soaringteam
We will meet again in the wild blue yonder.

To His parents. I didn't know this handsome and smart young man but I too have a son Kurtis who was in the USAF - I have to respond because as a mother, my heart hurts over your loss. I am blessed - my son lived through dessert storm and instable tensions while stationed in the Middle East in the early 90's. I am forever grateful for your son's service and I just wanted you to know - there is nothing like the us Air Force!!!! Your beautiful son is gone on this earth but he will never ever be forgotten. Hail to the wild blue yonder!

Dear Gilbert & Janet,
It was with great sorrow that we read about Curtis. We know that no words can ease your pain and grief at this time. We lost our 9 year old son, Phillip, 36 years ago and we still remember the anguish we experienced.
We heard many people say many things. Some were comforting and understanding while others were insensitive, although we are sure, unintentional. People who have not experienced what you are encountering have no idea of what to say or what to do. All we can say is that we are truly sorry for your loss and we feel your pain. God bless you. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
