Curtis graduated from Cottonwood High School and went on to get his EMT. He then went into electrical engineering and had just entered his fifth year of schooling while working for IBEW. One of his colleagues shared this with us, “Curtis was great at what he did, one of the best electricians that I’ve worked with and the only one I trusted to come help install things at my house. He was so smart and got great grades on tests in school.” Curtis had many friends that treasured, cherished, and trusted him. He loved to talk with his parents, enjoyed spending time with his friends, smiling with his family, camping, dirt biking, going on trips, and loving with all his heart. He was inquisitive and kind, as well as a good son, brother and uncle.
