He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Curtis attended Bell Gardens High School in California, graduating in 1959. As a young man, he joined the Air Force in 1961 where he was stationed at McChord Air Force Base in Tacoma, WA.

Curtis enjoyed raising farm animals - cows, goats, rabbits, and chickens - in both California and Utah. He was passionate about gardening, diligently tended to his lawn, and he also liked old Western movies.
Curtis is survived by his wife of 52 years, Gayle; sons; Christopher, Jared, Benjamin, and Jacob; daughter, Elizabeth; 11 grandchildren; and 4 great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents, his sister, Loretta, and twin sisters, Ella and Della.
Funeral services will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, November 4, 2017, at the LDS Church on 300 Gramercy Ave, Ogden. Interment will be at Evergreen Memorial Park with military honors accorded.
The family wishes to extend their sincerest thanks to the caregivers from Ashby Home Health & Hospice with a special thanks to Charyol Wilcox, R.N. Special appreciation also goes to the many loyal friends and neighbors who devoted their time and energy.
Oh, my pa-pa, so funny, so adorable
Always the clown, so funny in his way
Oh, my pa-pa, to me he was so wonderful
Deep in my heart I miss him so today.
