Willie Curtis Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Terry Funeral Home, Inc. - Philadelphia on Mar. 7, 2026.
Willie Lawrence Curtis was born on February 9, 1950, in Mobile, Alabama - a city with deep roots and a rich tradition of hardworking, proud people. Willie carried that tradition with him wherever life took him.

By trade, Willie was a carpenter, and he was the kind of man who took that calling seriously. Carpentry is patient work - it demands precision, care, and a steady hand - and those who knew Willie recognized those same qualities in the man himself. He worked with his hands and built with purpose, leaving behind the mark of a craftsman in everything he touched.

Willie passed from this life on February 22, 2026, at the age of 75. He is greatly missed by his family and friends, who remember him as a man of craft, quiet strength, and steadfast character.

Like any good carpenter, he built things meant to last - and his memory is one of them.
