December 7, 1945- July 12, 2020
Curtis Lynn Smith passed peacefully on July 12, 2020 at the age of 74 following a 20+ year battle with Parkinson’s Disease. Although the disease ultimately took him from us far too soon, it never defined him and he kept enjoying life with his family for as long as his body allowed.
He was many things to many people, a son, a brother, a father, a grandfather, a carpenter and coworker, but most importantly, in all aspects of his life, he was always loving and kind.
Curtis was a creative soul who loved building home projects, watching sports (especially his Longhorns, Astros & Cowboys), playing cards, listening to music, and dancing.
He always made the holidays a special time for his children and grandchildren.
Curtis was born on December 7, 1945 in Bay City, TX to James and Gloria Smith, graduated from Bay City High School in 1964; and from Wharton County Junior College in 1966.
