Kurt Enget

Kurt Enget, 49, of Port Orchard, passed away unexpectedly on April 10, 2020, at Harrison Medical Center. Kurt was born in Bremerton, WA to Chuck and Sandy Enget. He grew up in Port Orchard and graduated from South Kitsap High School. Kurt was preceded in death by his father and is survived by his mother.

At the age of 16, Kurt began working at Port Orchard Safeway where he was employed for 18 yrs. Kurt married his best friend Yevette in 1999. In 2005, Kurt left Safeway to pursue a career in law enforcement. For 10 years, Kurt was an officer for the Suquamish Police Department. While he thoroughly enjoyed his time as a Suquamish officer, in 2015 he chose to join the Bainbridge Island Police Dept where he was still employed. In 2019, Kurt became a K-9 officer with his bloodhound partner Officer Whitney. Kurt was a significant part of not only his home town but the community of Suquamish and Bainbridge Island.

When not at work, Kurt was a family man. In his free time, Kurt enjoyed being goofy with his wife, kids, friends and especially with his two granddaughters. Kurt was excited about being a new Grandpa. He always looked forward to spending time with his family and watching his granddaughters grow up.

Kurt is survived by his wife of 21 years, Yevette of Port Orchard; son Jarrid and daughter-in-law Marissa Pickard of Port Orchard; daughter Shyrel and son-in-law Evan Levenseller of Port Orchard; son Kyler Enget of Port Orchard; two grandchildren Hallie and Emersyn; sister Danette and brother-in-law Dave O’Connell; one niece Megan of Port Orchard; and last but not least, Officer Whitney.

A memorial service in Kurt’s honor will be held at a later date to be announced.
