He was born on March 30, 1971 in Sheboygan, the son of Brian and Rosemary (Wagner) Leonhardt.

Curt was a very special man to many. He loved to work with his hands and was great with tools. He was a bit of a perfectionist who had to do everything himself because no one else could do it as well. If you asked him for help with a project, he was right there doing it for you, always making sure you were watching and learning how to do it yourself the next time. He was there for anyone at any time they needed something. He shared a passion for boating and wakeboarding on the lakes with the love of his life, his wife, Tomaro, his close friend, Brice and his family. He never wanted kids but was awesome with them, having a special place in his heart for his nieces and his friends kids as well. His annual Rhythm and Booms party was attended by hundreds over the years and enjoyed by all. His life ended much too soon and he will be missed, especially by his family and friends from Paradise Lounge where he worked and managed for the better part of the last 15 years.

Curt is survived by his wife, Tomaro, of Madison; his parents, Brian and Rosemary Leonhardt, of Sheboygan; two sisters, Sheila (Tim) Barger, of Sheboygan and Brenda (fiancé, Kelly Komoroski) Leonhardt, of Oostburg; two nieces, Bradlee and Jessi Barger; father and mother-in-law, Richard and Cecelia Schuldt, of Eau Claire; three brothers-in-law, Sam, Richard and Keith; and two sisters-in-law, April and Sadie Mae. He was preceded in death by his paternal and maternal grandparents.

As Curt would have said, "Cheers" to you in heaven, our friend. You are now in the arms of God with no pain
