Sorry to hear of your death. We were neighbors for years. You always brought a pie by on Thanksgiving. We kept in touch after you moved. I'm sure Cody will miss you and your love you had for him. Godspeed Curtis.

There was a foursome of friends years, and while we all went out separate ways due to life, Curtis was always the same friendly nice guy. He was always happy and so proud of his son. May he have the peace he deserved. My sympathy to his family and close friends.

We met Curtis when we moved to the area, we had an instant connection and many good times and laughs as we swapped stories of darts, deer hunting and painting cars; all of which he could do way better than most. Most of all his son Cody, he was the topic that Curtis would light up about so deeply that it would elevate the entire room. It was a joy to watch and listen to the stories about the apple of his eye; he was so proud of you Cody!
Our Prayers and Love to his family in these most difficult and trying times.

24 years ago I met him while working at mcgurk's. He was a great ear to listen and have me advice even if it wasn't the kind that I wanted to hear. Which instantly made me realize he was a true kind person. I lost touch over the years and was terribly sad to hear if this news. My condolences to his family . RIP . Throw a game of 501 with Ron and hit a ton eighty!

I am so sad to hear of the loss of Curtis Strange, from the time I first met him he was the sort of friend that 5 minutes or 5 years between seeing him made no difference. He was a good friend, good man, may he rest in peace.

To Curtis' Family,
We were deeply saddened to hear of Curtis' passing. Carl and Curtis have been friends for many years shooting darts together and hanging out at McGurk's. Curtis and I were put together in a mixed doubles event at a dart tournament and nobody was more surprised than myself when we won! Curtis seemed confident the entire day but I didn't have a clue what I was doing...guess luck was on our side. I still have the trophy to prove it. May Curtis rest in peace and his loved ones find the strength they need in the times to come.
Sincerely,
Kathy and Carl Thomas

Curtis was like my little brother. He helped me move a couple times. He helped me financially, as I was a single mother of two daughters. We were partners in numerous dart tournaments. He was my rock on many occasions. I will miss him dearly!

Curtis was a member of our Youth Group at Perry United Methodist when we were Youth leaders and he and Donna were very special to us. We feel very blessed to have known him and to have had him in our lives even for a short time. Prayers to the family. Bill & Lois Shreves
