Alan Benson Curless, 44, beloved husband, father, son, brother and friend, died unexpectedly May 28 at the family cabin in Ammon, Idaho.
He was born May 27, 1964, in Logan, Utah, to Alvin and Gretta Benson Curless. He grew up in Logan, was an Eagle Scout, graduated from Logan High School and LDS Seminary, served in the Italy Milan LDS Mission and attended Utah State University.
At age 16 he began working part-time at a local grocery store. He continued that work after his mission and there met his future eternal companion. He and Lisa Wuthrich were married March 20, 1993, later solemnized in the Ogden LDS Temple on Dec. 5, 2003. The family lived in Logan for several years, then in Layton for four years before moving to Bountiful in August 2007.
A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Alan served as a Scoutmaster, an adviser in the Young Men's and at the time of his passing was a Primary teacher. He was an Elder in the Foothill Ward.
Alan's smoked brisket, prepared with his own secret recipes for rub and sauce, is legendary. He was also an incredible Dutch oven chef. He and Lisa worked together preparing several neighborhood and ward dinners, which are remembered fondly by all who attended. Although Alan loved cooking, camping and fishing, his greatest joy was his family.
He was a very happy person and his sense of humor and dry wit will long be remembered. He cared about others and was always willing to do whatever he could to give service.
Alan was a self-taught computer whiz and after college worked in the IT department at Icon Health and Fitness. He then worked for Sorensen Construction as their IT manager (twice being named "Employee of the Year"). At Sorensen he was promoted to project manager, supervising more than 50 employees. He then worked for a time for Reflections Press. However, he truly found joy in his work when he started his own company specializing in real estate investments and financial management and had recently branched out to offer education in credit management.
Alan is survived by his dear wife Lisa, and their children Conner, Andrea, Jessica and Jamie. Other survivors include his mother, Gretta Curless (North Salt Lake); sister, Catherine (Kris) Schulthies of Riverton; brother, John (Tonya) Curless of Farmington; 10 nieces and nephews who adored him; his mother-in-law, Kay (John) Chapman of Idaho Falls; father-in-law, Johnn (Kathy) Wuthrich of Logan; sister-in-law, Jill (Clay) Miller of Atlanta, Ga.; and brothers-in-law, Ryan (Jessica) Wuthrich and Nicholus (Amy) Wuthrich, both of Providence. He was preceded in death by his grandparents; his father; and older sister, Elizabeth.
The family will greet friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, June 1, at the Foothill Ward chapel, 4275 S. Bountiful Boulevard, Bountiful, and from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. Monday, June 2. Services will begin at 11 a.m. in the same location, conducted by Bishop Dan Nelson. Interment will follow in the family plot at the Logan City Cemetery at approximately 2:30 p.m. Directors are Independent Funeral Service. -
