Curtis Watts, 76, died July 5, 2023, at Clara Barton Hospital ER, Hoisington, Kansas. He was born August 22, 1946, in Bennington, Kansas, the son of Raymond L. and Phyllis J. (Collins) Watts. Curtis graduated from Bennington High School in 1964.
On July 7, 1973, he married Roberta Ott, in Gypsum, Kansas.
Curtis was the owner and operator of Watts Siding for many years. He later decided to change occupations and took up truck driving, a profession he thoroughly enjoyed. He drove over the road for many years for Kindsvater Trucking out of Dodge City, retiring in 2012. He also loved driving harvest truck for Hoffman Farms and was looking forward to the upcoming fall harvest. Curtis and Roberta loved traveling in their RV, spending time in Branson, and trips with the Newmar Kountry Klub. They were also lifetime members of the Good Sam Camping Club. When they weren't traveling they enjoyed attending the Golden Belt Community Concerts and cheering on his favorite Nascar drivers, especially the Earnhardt teams.
He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Roberta Watts of the home. He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Phyllis Watts.
Visitation will be 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home.
