Kurt D. Metzler, 47, passed away unexpectedly due to natural causes, on March 28, 2020.  He was born March 12, 1973, the son of Gerald and Carol (Vanden Langenberg) Metzler.  Kurt graduated from Green Bay East High School where he was named All-Conference in basketball.  He started working at Hart Design and Manufacturing as a high school student and continued there throughout college where he was a student at UWGB.  Kurt further earned his CPA license and from there he went on to work for WPS/Integrys Energy as well as his family’s business, Metzler Electric.   He worked there several years and then returned to Hart Design and Manufacturing as their CFO and Controller.  Kurt’s great passion in life was spending time with his family and friends in the north woods of Wisconsin and the U.P, where he loved fishing, swimming in Lake Michigan, and hiking in the woods.  He was the kind of man who would do anything for anyone.  He had a kind and gentle heart and a spectacular sense of humor which was appreciated and shared by all who knew him!
