Kurt Martin Thallmayer, 38, passed away peacefully today following a long battle with Leukemia. He was the beloved husband of Evey Thallmayer, brother Steve Thallmayer, and loving son of Erich Thallmayer and Andree Van Rensburg. He is survived by a loving family of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and a large group of friends that loved him very much. His lasting tribute will be all the lives he touched and all the friends who considered him family, all of whom will never forget his wit, his generosity, and his courage.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Kurt's name to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society at www.lls.org.
Thank you all for standing by Kurt's side, every step of his battle and throughout the incredible life that he led.
Details for Kurt's Celebration of Life will be posted here in the next few days.

4/30/11- Update
Hello Friends and Family- We just wanted to send an update on how things are at the moment with Kurt. This has been an incredibly difficult week for us. Kurt is currently being cared for in the ICU because his condition has not been good. Every day has slight changes forward and backward. Please continue to keep Kurt in your thoughts and prayers. It is greatly appreciated.
Additionally, because Kurt has so many great friends and family and is so well loved we've had an overwhelming amount of visitors. Due to the fact he is in an Intensive Care Unit the hospital needs to limit the allowed visitors to be family only. We really appreciate those that have already dropped by to visit, texted, emailed etc. because it really means a lot, but going forward we won't be able to have guests outside of family. We'd still love to hear from you via the blog and will continue to update you as we have more to share.
Love,
Evey (and Floyd)
