My deepest condolences to you boys and the entire Pride family...I only met Curtis a few months ago, but in that time he brought me a WORLD of inspiration and HOPE...During our daily talks, he spoke only of love for his boys, and his family. He was always lookin to the future, never forgetting his past, sharing his dreams, so honest, so REAL, a TRUE soul. He said to me one day, "these other DJ's are only lookin for today Imma DJ till I die" Life is ironic...I already miss you dearly, Curtis, I know you will continue to provide that inspiration and hope to us all from Heaven. Much love and see you soon!

I was shocked and dismay to hear of Curtis passing. I hold very fond memories of out dispute with him trying to order double starches from "Harvey's Restaurant. And the time you brought your 1st born for me to meet. Because you knew that if you ate at my restaurant you would have pretty kids. I will alway carry in my heart your beautiful winning smile. I will miss not seeing you when I come to visit Waukegan and North Chicago, but you will always be in my heart.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May knowing this bring to your family much needed comfort and understanding. I didn't know Curtis personally, but I do know that people tend to surround themselves with like-minded people and I'm a friend of Uniquee's as well as many others who loved him so I know he had to be a very special man. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during your time of grief.

Curtis, ........I just can believe it. All I can remember is me and a friend conversating about parties for the kids and when it was time to find a DJ you was the first person that came to my mind I called you and you was there, always, when she needed you. I use to always see you leaving and coming when you stayed in Gurnee always smiling and happy, and THE BOYS everybody know they were your #1. but I know God makes no mistakes so I guess he needed you more you was a great person and you will truley be missed ....Rest In Peace ....My prayers goes out to the family

Firstly to the Pride family I have known you all since I was a little girl. You guys are not family freinds but a family of friends. I am soooo greatful to have been able to share our growing up together... Curt I can remember when you use to torture me when I would come to the house just cause you thought you were always my big brother... Now that I look back I am glad you did because it made us all a little closer. As i focus on the memories we had and the time we shared I can truley say you were an amazing person and will always be remebered. We had a blast and I know you are looking down on us. Well as I can say when I see you on the other side we will resume where we left off.
Love always your pretend LITTLE sister.....
You will always be missed!

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
My prayers and condolences goes out to the Pride family.

To Curtis Pride Jr's dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
January 6, 2010
Curits you will be missed by your family and friends. We send our thoughts and prayers to your family and friends.
Your loss came as a shock to those who knew you.
You will forever be missed.
God Bless Your Family.
