Kurt William Scholz, age 56, passed away unexpectedly on March 31, 2026. He was born on September 27, 1969.

Kurt has been the owner of Old New England Property Maintenance for over 30 years. His successful business was built on the traditional "Old New England" work ethic, the motto of Kurt's dedicated personal professionalism.

He was known for his wonderful caring personality, his radiating love, and his tremendous work ethic and selfless resilience in life for always being there for those who needed him and doing by the right things. He was a man of principle, strength and placing others before himself. Most of all, Kurt loved and cared dearly for his two children, he was an exemplary father before anything else, and loved to spend time on Cape Cod with his family making memories together.

He was a 1992 graduate of North Adams State College where he earned a Bachelor's in Business Administration. Not only a business entrepreneur, Kurt had a career in banking, as a Mortgage Loan Officer at the Greylock Federal Credit Union in Adams when it opened in the 1990's, as well as at Credit Union of the Berkshires, and Guardian Life in Pittsfield.

Kurt was predeceased by his father David W. Scholz. Kurt is survived by his children, Olivia Rose and Christopher Ryan, his mother June B.
