James Gurr

James Edward Gurr

Age 37, beloved son, brother and uncle passed away suddenly on March 20, 2018 in Las Vegas. He was born May 23, 1980 in Ely, Nevada to Steven Kent Gurr and Marla Mouritsen Gurr. He joined older brothers, Samuel and Jerimiah.
He moved to Las Vegas with his mother, brothers and sister Elizabeth in 1987. He was a 1998 graduate of Valley High School.
His laugh was unmistakable to recognize and he loved to laugh a lot. His first loyalty was always to his family and they were as equally loyal to him.
Like many in his family, James loved to read and loved discussing books. He was very opinionated and liked to share those opinions even with those who didn't want to hear them.
He was inspired by his younger sister's graduation from UNLV and began taking classes working toward a degree in anthropology.
James enjoyed his job and was a long-time employee of Office Depot// Office Max. His funny stories of work will be missed by all. He had a unique sense of humor and inherited his Grandpa Mouritsen's epic storytelling skills.
He is preceded in death by his grandmother, Mary Mouritsen of Meridian, Idaho and grandfather Kent Gurr of McGill, Nevada. He is survived by his father Steven Gurr (Sharon) of Loa, Utah, Marla VanPut (Patrick) of Las Vegas, Nevada, grandfather, Lamar Mouritsen (Wanda Rae) of Meridian, Idaho & grandmother, Bonnie Gurr of McGill, Nevada. Brothers Samuel Gurr & Jerimiah Gurr, sister, Elizabeth Chapson of Las Vegas, Nevada, brother Jeff Gurr of Escalante, Utah, sister Julie Durfey of Bicknell, Utah, niece & nephew Emilee & Clark Chapson of Las Vegas, Nevada, nieces & nephew Tannyr, Shantel, Autum & Kenyon Gurr of Escalante, Utah, niece Destiny Durfey of Bucknell, Utah. Stepbrother Ryan VanPut of Utah, stepsisters, Lauren Bloxham of Utah & Magin VanPut of Alaska and many beloved aunts, uncles and cousins.
