KURT ZUVER 
September 20, 1965 — May 7, 2025 
 
In 4.7 seconds, you hit those streets of gold 
The Northwest Ohio Drag-Street Legend, 
Or so we’ve all been told 
 
We could use this space to list your jobs 
And all the things you did 
But you never cared about that crap 
It only mattered how you lived 
 
True to your convictions, 
Unwavering, relentless and bold 
Never a hidden agenda- 
“If that’s what you think – then that’s what you’re told” 
 
You could talk to people for hours 
Exchanging only the best advice – 
Not many a problem would stump you 
“Just try it once and don’t ask twice” 
 
Your family and friends your honor 
Your loyal Jaygo by your side 
It’s burnouts and black marks in Heaven 
And that nitros throttle is open WIDE 
 
Defeat was not your fate 
Your earthly conflict yet no more 
You never lost a battle; 
Brother — you won the war 

Written in your honor; your loving sister, Lisa
