Kurt DeHaan

Kurt was a vital part of the ministry that was founded by his grandfather Dr. M. R. DeHaan in 1938. He faithfully led Our Daily Bread as the Managing Editor for many years, and often wrote for other RBC publications until his death in 2003. A gifted editor and writer, Kurt had a sense of humor that was surpassed only by his gracious spirit. But most important, he was a good husband to Mary and a loving father to Katie, Anna, Claire, and Nathan.
