Dr. Curtis Lee Sutton

I was very shocked and sad when i have heard from the death of my friend Curtis. My deep sympathy is for his family. I can`t believe and understand it all yet and would be very happy if friends or family members could contact me at: [email protected]

My deepest condolences to the Sutton Family, and to the extended UNC forensics family who knew him well while at UNC, mainly his teamates and coaches, in the years directly following my own involvement as a member of this Program as an undergraduate.

I, too, had the pleasure of meeting and knowing Curtis on the Carolina IE (Individual Events) Speech Team. I never met anyone who wasn't comfortable around Curtis.

Please Save The Date of February 16, 2013, as the Friends Of Curtis Sutton will host a memorial in Curtis' honor on the Campus of UNC. Details to follow as they are developed, but we are planning an evening of warmth, love, and laughter as we remember our dear brother, Dr. Curtis Lee Sutton.

He was one of those rare breeds who embraced brotherhood and mentorship not as THE thing to do as the...

You will surely be missed, such a great person

To the Family and Friends of Curtis, his Canadian friends have heavy hearts and are deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I remember Curtis for the ability to capture the hearts of all who met this gentle giant. Curtis was always the one who lit up the room with love and song, a soulful voice which I listen to each morning on my way to work. "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"...you will find him...and he will have a smile as big as the man himself...I will miss you, my friend,as will all who met...

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of this wonderful sweet distinguished man.....I will miss him terribly.........
