The Last Rites of Brod Kurt Barent Turno (UPMin ‘11B Invictus)
By: Max Angelo Echevarria UPMin ‘11A Exemplar

 

       Last August 9, 2014, a great tragedy had befallen upon our great fraternity. One of the resident brothers of the UP Mindanao chapter Kurt Barent Turno Batch ‘11B Invictus was involved in an accident which resulted in severe head trauma and eventually led to his expiration on August 10, 2014 at 9:10 PM. As per request of the Davao brothers, resident and alumni alike, the body of our dearest brother was placed at Collado Funeral Homes, Bangkal, Davao City in order to allow the fraternity to conduct the last rites and the UP constituents to pay their respects. The parents of Kurt were very happy to oblige as they knew how much the fraternity meant to Kurt.

      The last rites for Kurt were conducted the following day August 11, 2014 at around 7:30 PM after the mass. GP Jinno Gutierrez (UPMin ‘09A Cojones) led the ceremony. This was followed by eulogies from Sis Thea Demapanag, 2nd Vice GP Max Echevarria, Brod Danilo Abad, Brod Angelo Paolo Lukban, Brod Paulo Dominic Punzalan (Kurt’s Inaanak) through text message as relayed by Brod 1st Fraternal Ninong of Kurt, GP Jinno Gutierrez. Emotions were flowing through the room with each speaker saying their piece about the deceased. I, personally, saw the joy in the eyes of Kurt’s mother as she heard stories of her child in UP.

       The night was filled of stories of Kurt indicating that although his time in the fraternity was short, the lives he touched were abundant. May you rest in peace brother. Cheers!

Pictures & Remembrances

 

 

Attached is a pic of Brod Kurt Turno, shared by Brod Isaac Ern Galang through Instagram.
The picture was taken during the most recent Resident Summit, left to right: Raymund Basilio, Bobbie Bote, Patrick Funa, Migs Angeles and Kurt Turno. So young and full of potential. Our young ones describe him as a jolly, good fellow but basically a silent guy.

 


 

PAALAM, KAPATID.

"Most of us haven't had to opportunity to break bread with you, but just the same,

we share the grief of your family and the brods who had been close to you."

Brods,

Pls correct if I’m wrong - I think Brod Kurt Turno (in gray long sleeves) attended OBBF’s recruitment seminar last April 26, 2013.
