Curtis Edward Gibbs Obituary
Curt was born in Bonnieville to Joseph L. and Ollie Morgan Gibbs. He retired from self-employment, Gibbs Delivery, in 1986. He was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army. On Aug. 6, 1980, he married his best friend, the other half that completed him, the former Megan Adams, in Elizabethtown.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, David; a son, David; and three sisters, Louise, Linda and Alice.
Curt is survived by his loving wife, Megan; two brothers, Charles and Robert Gibbs; two sisters, Mary Ann Bywater and Patricia Lawson; and five children, Vicki, Ed, Kevin, Bill and Kaye.
Curt's positive outlook on life was infectious to everyone he met. He said to treat life as the precious gift it is.
Per his wishes, there was no visitation. He wanted to leave life as he came in and wanted friends to remember him as they last saw him. Cremation has taken place.

Dear Meg,
I was on vacation at the time of Curt's death and am so sorry to hear the news. Sister Eileen and Sister Millie both let me know about it this week. What a great guy! You and he shared a truly wonderful love story, the kind that lasts for all eternity. Thank you for sharing him with all of us who loved him too. As much as I enjoyed his chocolate cakes and home grown tomatoes and beans, the qualities I loved the most about him were his calming wisdom and sense of humor.He had a peaceful manner that was contagious. I am grateful to have known him in this life and I know he is still with us and with you, especially, forever.
