Curtis was baptized at Mount Zion Baptist Church when he was a teenager. Although you may not have seen him sitting in church wearing a suit and tie, he had his own personal and spiritual relationship with the Lord.

Being a kind and dependable father was of utmost importance to Curtis. He loved each of his children unconditionally and without cease. Curtis had a genuine love for his family, friends, and community. He freely gave his time to others without expectation. You could always count on him for advice, a good laugh, or tough love. Curtis was unapologetically himself. He never changed who he was as a person but understood how to compromise. Curtis never sat still for too long. He loved to stay busy with different projects, side jobs, and a few hobbies and you could always find him working in his garage. It was what kept him feeling and looking young.
