Kurt Cunningham was born on January 12, 1969, and the world was never the same as it became his to play in. Many of us knew him as a son, brother, nephew, cousin, uncle, husband, friend, mentor, personality, advocate, trouble maker or just for his smile.
From his birth in Huntington Beach to being on the committee to the National March on Washington, to running his salon Skin Deep, to being the 24th Elected Peacock Empress de San Diego to his final role as an advocate for mental health Kurt always put others first.
A light was lost on Oct 10th, 2015 but in our hearts and our minds it will never be forgotten. We would like to invite you to his celebration of life at the Center on Oct 24th and would like to ask that instead of flowers you make a donation in his name to the San Diego LGBT Center's Behavioral Health programs.
Kurt was preceded in death by his mother Lisa Cunningham in 2012.
Kurt's contributions to the LGBT community in San Diego were limitless. Sadly Kurt was the victim of severe depression and he took his own life.
Everyone who was touched by Kurt mourns the loss of his life.
