STEPHENS, Curtis Alan
Born October 2, 1956- Stepped into Eternity November 24, 2012

Curt was a beloved son, brother, husband, father and grandfather. He was kind, generous, fun-loving, strong, energetic, and lived each day to the fullest. He loved nature, the desert, and more recently his boat and trips to Catalina Island with his family and friends. He loved his family dearly: Cathy, wife of 32 years, children: Cynthia, Christopher and Kevin, his son in law, Rhys, and his beloved grandchildren, Wren (4) and Owen (2). Raised in Arcadia, he worked in the flooring business for 30 years. He will be forever loved and missed by: parents, Bill and Janet Stephens, brother, Bruce, sister, Joy, mother in law, Beverly, as well as his brother and sister in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends.
