My heart has been broken learning of the passing of my best friend, and former husband. I remember his generous heart, his values that he held steadfast to, his wonderful laughter and kindness. My heart goes out to his father, Stanley, who Curtis adored and loved, and his brother David, who was his best friend. May his family find peace and strength from the Lord and may His most gracious love and peace fill their hearts. May he find joy and peace being with his mother, Earnestine and sister-in-law, Susan, for I know he loved them very much.
I am so blessed to have had him in my life as a friend and husband, and I will always remember the great times we had together. Rest in Peace my friend, until we meet again

Curtis and I coached our boys in Little League. It was a blast. We had fun each year we coached together. Curtis was always fair, eager to teach, and enjoyed watching them play. I also recall the spooky Halloween music he played on the synthesizer. To me he was just fun to be around.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all family and friends. I can't remember a time from junior high through my early 20s that Curtis was not a part of my life in some way. He was a great friend and will always hold a special place in my memories.

My dear friend since childhood...I will always remember us as children playing box hockey and four square at Joslin Elementary. And then our friendship continued all through Porter Jr. High and on to graduation at Crockett High. I will miss you dearly. Rest in peace.
With love,

Curtis and I went to Travis High until he transferred to Crocket. I remember Curtis as a good man, well-respected and would do anything to help anyone. Many good memories to help celebrate his life.

Curtis was a fine man and a reliable officer. He was a Charter member of a shift of officers nicknamed " The South Austin Wrecking Crew "" After a series of critical incidents involving them in a single 26 day shift. This shift worked very close together and played together off duty and he was an integral part of all the activities. He was well liked, well respected, and will be missed. Via con Dios old Friend
