Curtis was a friend to anyone who met him. He was tender-hearted, kind, and loving to those close to him. If he could do something to help someone he did. Curt loved his children and grandchildren with all his heart. Curt had a fun loving and free spirit. He loved to crack jokes and had an awesome sense of humor. He was a hard worker and took pride in everything he ever did. He was a member of the US Air Force as an aircraft mechanic for 20 years. After he retired, he then worked Civil Service for the military for another 10 years. Curt always found a way to provide for his loved ones and was a great blessing to all that knew him. Curt is absent from the body but present with the Lord and now rests in peace with the loved ones who went before him. The very best of who Curt was and is will live on in those whom he loved until we see him again in Heaven.
