In loving memory of Kurt Asken: 1960-2025 

Posted

Kurt Timothy Asken, a lifelong resident of Winlock, Washington, passed away peacefully on Jan. 30, 2025. 

Kurt was born on Jan. 11, 1960, to Barbara and Emil Asken. He lived on Shannon Lewis Lane during his childhood and then moved into Grandma Fitch's house after taking care of her for a number of years. 

Kurt's favorite pastimes were fishing, camping, warming up to a well-built fire and watching the Seahawks. His black lab, Daisy, was his loyal companion for 15 years. "Capt Kurt" was a kind, generous man and will be missed by family, friends and neighbors. 

He is survived by his brother, Monte (Joan); his Aunt Gladys (Leon); cousins, Tom and Mike; and by multiple nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his brothers, Fred and Gary Mooers; and his mother and father, Barbara and Emil Asken. 

A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 28, at the Winlock Cemetery.
