After finishing high school, Curtis served the Army in Vietnam for his four years earning a Bronze Star Medal of Honor. He worked eight years in the Federal Prison System teaching furniture making and repairing. He then worked 2 years in construction for Brown & Root in Glen Rose, Texas. Curtis became a Master Licensed Plumber and spent the next 39 years in that trade working for himself, United Mechanical and the Richardson and Plano ISD's before retiring, after he learned he had cancer, at 70 years of age in 2020.

Both Curtis' brothers passed from his same diagnosis and he chose to forgo the treatments they suffered from and enjoyed his remaining years with a decent quality of life living for others and his creator.

In 1999, Curtis made an earnest and sincere profession to serve God the rest of his life which he faithfully fulfilled. He was baptized in 2000 and his chief joy in life was to attend weekly home-based bible studies and fellowship/worship meetings, go to gospel meetings, and attend annual special meetings and conventions.
