There will be a celebration in honor of Curt’s life on Friday, April 9th at the Alda Community Center from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. All Faiths Funeral Home is serving the family. Curt was born May 4, 1952 in Pender, NE, the son of “Sparky” Claus and Joann (Richardson) Malmberg. He graduated from Pender High School, class of 1970, before attending the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Curt then volunteered with the U.S. Peace Corps in the Philippines for a time. On December 4, 1976, Curt married Diane Jaroska. They made their home in Norfolk, Nebraska. Job opportunities took them to several other states before they settled down and raised their two children in Alda. Curt‘s last place of employment was with Lineage Logistics of Grand Island, for over 20 years, as a forklift operator in a cold storage facility; leaving only when his health required him to do so. Curt loved his family, especially the grandkids. He also loved deer hunting and fishing. One of his greatest highlights was his elk hunting trip to Montana in 2018 with his son. They may have come home with only one deer but the memories were priceless. Those who will cherish his memory include his wife, Diane; children, Jennifer Hoffman (Kelly Fleenor) of Kearney and Senior Chief Petty Officer Justin Malmberg of Newport News, VA; and seven beloved grandchildren, Trystan, Blake, Lenora, Brooke, Grayson, Blair and Lilli. He is also survived by brothers, Craig (Donna) Malmberg and Clay (Maridee) Malmberg; sister, Cheri (Jeff) Stinley; and nine nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Corey Malmberg; and a great nephew.
