Curtis Leon Bosley, Jr., was born July 13, 1965, in Columbus, Ohio to Janice and Curtis Leon Bosley, Sr.
Curtis was baptized at Galilee Baptist Church and graduated from Macomber Whitney High School in Toledo, Ohio, where he was the captain of the football team. He attended Kent State University for 3 years, studying political science and government. In 1984, Curtis and his family moved back to Columbus, where he was employed as a Business Account Representative for AT&T Wireless for 10 years. He was an Account Representative at Rent-A-Center for two years. In 2007, he joined Cardinal Health as a QRA Specialist Regulatory Management where he was currently employed.
In August 1990, he met the love of his life, Kimberly Rawls, and they were united in marriage on January 18, 1991. This year they celebrated 32 years of marriage! Of this union they have two daughters Cortney and Kiana.
Curtis loved cooking, fishing, traveling, going to the thrift stores, and gathering collectibles. Everyone knows that Curtis was the grill master, but most of all he loved his wife and daughters. He was a father figure, brother, uncle, and a friend to many. Curtis never met a stranger.

How do you describe such a beautiful soul? He was caring, compassionate, loving, and generous. Curtis' enormous personality not only filled each room he entered, but also left an indelible impression upon everyone he encountered. His smile was so big, bright, loving, and his laugh was very infectious!
