His favorite Scripture was John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." You would always find Curtis talking about Jesus and ALL that He had done for him. He loved people and people loved him. He was always willing to assist in a time of need. Curtis was kind hearted and loved to laugh and talk with people even if he had just met them for the first time. Curtis enjoyed working with his hands. Gardening, painting, and pressure washing were some of the things he enjoyed doing. Curtis loved playing the piano. His favorite song he enjoyed playing was "Lean On Me". The words written in the song are a true testament to his life. Curtis also enjoyed sports. The New Orleans Saints was his favorite football team, and he was one of their greatest fans.
