He was welcomed and dearly loved by George and Deloris. He was also welcomed by his older brother, George, and older sister, Kellonye, and he was later joined by his younger sister April. As a child, Curtis was very fun-loving. Some of his favorite things to do were playing with his friends, spending time with and wrestling his brother, and at times terrorizing his sisters by having his army of GI Joes and Transformers go into battle with their Barbies. Curtis was so much fun, there was never a dull moment. Growing up, Curtis loved and spent a lot of time with his father and brother. He spent much time learning from them how to do things. At times they were inseparable. Curtis also loved and enjoyed spending time with his mother. He was always so loving and protective of his mother and sisters. In childhood, one of the things he enjoyed most was his mother reading him stories at bedtime. He loved his family very much. For Curtis, nothing mattered more than family. Curtis enjoyed traveling. He enjoyed trips that he went on with his family as a child. His love of trips turned into a lifelong love of traveling. As an adult, he spent much of his time traveling with family and friends enjoying new experiences. He always dreamed of one day living abroad. Curtis was warm and loving. He had a gift of always making everyone feel loved and welcomed. He never met a stranger, always making everyone feel comfortable and welcome. He would always make time for those that needed him. Curtis attended D.H. Stanton Elementary, M.L.King Middle, and Southside High School. He graduated from Hertzing College. He had an impressive working career with AT&T and Bellsouth for 23 years where he grew in his career and developed lifelong friendships. He studied from youth and was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He served at the Kingdom Hall in Newnan, GA as a Watchtower reader. He served on the Regional Building Committee helping to repair damaged Kingdom Halls for many years. This served as Curtis’ spiritual foundation and also where he developed many of his lifelong friendships. He always helped his parents when in need, doing repairs to their home, vehicle and taking care of their yard, always making it a priority to help. One of Curtis’ greatest joys was becoming a father. When he became a father, his world lit up. He made it his point to always strive to be the best father he could be. He fell in love with and married Marie in July of 2022.
