Obituary
Kurt Brian Wyman, passionate husband of Lauren, wonderful father of Alexander and Adyson, entered eternity with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at the age of 24 on Tuesday, June 7th, 2011.
Kurt was born on February 19th, 1987, in New Hartford, New York. His loving parents, Brian and Lynnette (Boersma) Wyman, raised him with his sister, Angela, in Whitesboro and later West Winfield. Growing up, Kurt loved soccer, playing cards with his family, paintball, target shooting and construction, and spending time at his grandparents' camp in Old Forge.

The depth of the love that they shared for each other was evident to those around them.
