Kurt R. Straub

July 5, 1958 — July 8, 2022

Kurt R. Straub, 64, of Syracuse passed away on July 8, 2022 at Upstate University Hospital surrounded by his loving family. Born and raised in Syracuse, he was a graduate of Corcoran High School and four year letterman in football. He played semi-pro football with the Syracuse Aces in the early 1980s and also played drums in several local bands. Kurt was an avid motorcyclist and enjoyed riding with his wife. He was also a longtime member of ABATE. He retired in 2015 after 37 years of state service at Hutchings Psychiatric Center. In his retirement years, he enjoyed taking long walks with his beloved dog Scarlet, who was always by his side, and helping local animal organizations.

Kurt is survived by his wife of 36 years Patricia Straub, son Erich Straub, and niece Jessica Simons.
