Curt Brost

Curt Ervin Brost, age 74, of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, peacefully passed away at
Sheboygan Health Services on March 12, 2023. He was a gentle giant with a big
personality, and he will be greatly missed by family and friends.
On November 12, 1948, Curt was born to Harry and Selma (Mueller) Brost. He
grew up in Sheboygan and attended North High School, Class of 1967. Curt continued
his education at Lakeland College, graduating in 1971.
During Curt’s school years, he played football, basketball, ran track, and
distinguished himself as a natural athlete. He played semi-professional football for the
Sheboygan Red Wings.
For 32 years, Curt worked for the Kohler Company as a Senior Processing
Engineer. He was instrumental in launching the Kohler Engine Plant in Hattiesburg,
Mississippi.
Curt enjoyed hunting, gardening, cooking, and a good campfire. If you needed
someone to get the singalong going, Curt was your man. He played Cribbage, Scrabble,
and card games.
A shirt-off-his-back kind of guy, Curt liked to help out wherever it was needed. In
particular, he treasured the time he spent with his sister, Judy, puttering in her flower
beds and bird and critter watching on her deck. He had a contagious laugh and a great
sense of humor.
Over the years, Curt remained close with his in-laws, Robert and Kathleen
Finger.
Curt is survived by his daughters, Tricia Brost, Port Washington, Wisconsin, and
Nicole Brost (Fiancé, Scott Borth), Sheboygan, Wisconsin; three grandchildren: Abigail
(Timothy) Healy, Josie Brueckner, and Alex Brueckner; and one great-grandchild,
Timothy Healy; two sisters: Judy Erdman, Sheboygan, Wisconsin and Susan Hall of
Virginia; sister-in law, Joan Sheedy; cousin, Dorothy Scroggins; and many nieces,
nephews, and cousins.
Preceding Curt in death were his parents, Harry and Selma Brost; his sister,
Carolyn Dudarenke; two brothers: William Brost and Wayne Brost; and sister-in-law,
Carol Brost.
Heartfelt gratitude goes to Curt’s niece, Jody Erdman, who helped him with
shopping, organizing, and chores. The family also wishes to thank Pine Haven,
Sheboygan Health Services, and Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice for
extraordinary care and compassion. We are forever grateful for the kind support Curt received from all the doctors and nurses that touched his life over his many years of
health challenges.
Per Curt’s request, there will be no funeral services. A Celebration of Life will be
held at a later date.
