I am heartbroken to share that my father, Perry Kurtz, was tragically killed by a hit-and-run driver on August 15th, 2024, in Los Angeles, California. His unexpected passing has shocked our family and left us facing significant financial challenges as we work to honor him at the end of his life.

My dad was a well-known and beloved performer in and around Los Angeles all my life. He loved what he did and worked very hard at it every day. I am proud of his successes and the enjoyment he brought to his many friends and fans.

Unfortunately, I currently live in Kansas with the rest of my family, and I am trying to make final arrangements from a distance. This is very difficult for me as I am only 19 years old and never expected to lose my dad at this point in my life. I am looking for help paying for his final expenses and taking care of his personal belongings and obligations. This will include my travel back to Los Angeles to accomplish this. I greatly appreciate any amount you would like to donate or any sharing of this fundraiser so I can take care of my dad the way that he always did his best to take care of me.
