Michael Eugene Wurst, age 35, died peacefully March 26, 2001 of natural causes.

He was born September 27, 1965 in St. Anthony, Idaho, Fremont County to Eugene Cloy Wurst of Idaho Falls, Idaho and Helen Unsworth Wurst Dipo of Hunter, Utah.

Our Michael was a very special spirit sent from Heavenly Father. Even though he had a condition at birth which left him mentally challenged, he was very smart, with a witty sense of humor and a very sweet nature. In spite of his mental and great physical challenges, he was always happy and a great joy to be around. Everyone that knew him loved him and was blessed by his spirit.

A big portion of his life was spent in Idaho Falls with a wonderful family, "The Murdochs". They took Michael in and loved him as one of their own!
