Dr. Keith Russell Curry

1958 - 2022

Dr. Keith Russell "The Modifier" Curry, 63, of Washington, DC died on January 24, 2022. Born on August 11, 1958 in Kansas City, Missouri, Keith was the man you went to for help with all tasks big and small. If something needed to be repaired or built, Keith either had the tool for it, or modified a tool to get it done. He earned his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Hofstra University in 1988. He had a long and productive career serving as a forensic expert witness in 51 civil rights cases. Additionally, he had a 30+ year private practice where he helped hundreds of patients to grow emotionally, intellectually, individually and within their relationships. A long time vegan and animal lover, he was often known as the "cat whisperer." He was kind, generous, loving, intelligent, passionate and the best person a partner, friend, neighbor, patient or animal could want. He is survived by his partner J'aime Nowell (Annapolis, MD), mother Jean Curry (Minneapolis, MN), sister and brother-in law Carol and Randy Hagar (Minneapolis, MN) and brother and sister-in-law Ken and Lana Curry (Mountain Home, AK). In lieu of flowers, please send memorial donations to Capital Caring Health Resource Development, 3180 Fairview Park Dr., Headquarters/Suite 600, Falls Church, VA 22042.
