    Charlotte and family,. Our sincere condolences are sent your way. His passing brings back many memories of our time at Gateway Baptist in the 1980s. Curt was a wonderful man and we will miss him and his great humor. While we may never understand why he had to endure the extreme hardships of cancer here on Earth, we know he is in a much better place now. He was not only strong in fighting that disease, but strong in his faith and family values. His exemplary life should be one that any one of us would do well in following. Curt, we will all miss you….. our brother and friend!

    Curt was an AWESOME friend and football teammate at Reynolds High School. He was also voted “Boy of the Year” by his peers. Therein lies the answer to his greatness! We all loved you, Curt❤️
