Curtis Barcomb Obituary
Curtis A. Barcomb
Aug. 12, 1952 - Oct. 19, 2020
PINEVILLE, NC - Curtis A. Barcomb, 68, of Pineville, NC passed away peacefully and unexpectedly in his home on October 19, 2020.
Born August 12, 1952 in Malone, NY, Curt was the son of Gerald and Mildred (Trombley) Barcomb, the second of their 13 children. He attended Glens Falls High School and worked for Valmet Sandy Hill in Hudson Falls and Charlotte, NC for over 20 years. Self-employed since 2002, Curt worked largely for Pulte Homes, performing warranty claim repairs, and never left a client dissatisfied with his professionalism, work ethic, or craftsmanship.
Above all, Curt was kind and generous. He loved his family, his tools, his trucks, tinkering, helping others, his 1978 Corvette restoration project, and having nice long chats into the wee hours of the morning over endless pots of coffee. He was a jack of all trades who could fix or build anything.
Left to mourn his loss are his partner in life and wife of 13 years, Leah Barcomb; his children: David Barcomb of Edgewater, FL, Christie (Michael) Barros of Hopkinton, MA; his step-daughters: Denise (Michael) McGowen and Billie Jo Parker of Saratoga, Jennifer Austin of South Glens Falls; 17 grandchildren; four brothers: Craig, Bryan, Gerard, and Dean; 3 sisters: Cynthia (Brian) Giroux, Renée Hoban, and Katrina (Scott) Lybarger; brother-in-law, Gary (Joyce) Parker; mother of his children and former wife, Darla Barcomb; aunts; uncles; nieces; nephews; cousins and his dogs: Buddy and Uno.
In addition to his parents; he was predeceased by three sisters: Deborah Brenn, Judith O'Donnell and Rebecca Cook; two brothers: Darwin and Scott and the dog love of his life, Sadie.
As in life, Curt wanted to leave us quietly and without fanfare. In lieu of funeral services, the family welcomes the sharing of memories of an amazing man who has left us far too soon.

I miss you so very much every single day... some days I cry, some days my eyes are inexplicably dry, but you are always in my heart, always cherished, always loved more than you know.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Curt. He was indeed a jack of all trades and did countless work in our home which we will appreciate always.

It still doesn´t feel real, Daddy. I´m trying to move on and live my life with happiness and peace as I know you would want me to but it hurts so much. When I think that I can never see you or talk to you again in this life, it is hard to breathe. I miss you, I love you, and I thank you for being the father I always needed you to be. I´ll send you messages here when I need to from time to time to let you know I´m thinking of you, my heart broken, but grateful everyday that you are in it.

Curt was my boss back when VALMET had brains in Charlotte, NC. We grew close as friends. We shared many good times. We lost touch through-out the years but, I have always thought of our shared life together and, the good times. Checking in this time. . .I see he's gone. Now, I big time regret not calling.

I remember all the late nights a Curt's house in South Glens Falls with my Dad, Monty and Curt working on Curt's 68 Mustang that ran at South Glens Falls Dragway. Curt and Monty were GREAT friends. I became very good friends with Dean and Scott, Curt's brothers, and Renee and Tina, Curt's sisters. He was always such a nice guy, and a great welder.

I will always remember Curt for his firm handshake and big smile every time we met and how he ALWAYS treated me kindly. Curt is a great man with a kind soul, loved by his family and dearly missed. It´s very difficult for the family left behind that can no longer share life's experiences with Curt including my heartbroken wife who I will always take care if...so no worries Curt. I´m very thankfully to have had him on my life. I wish we all had more time.
