I miss this man more than words can describe. He taught me everything I know. From driving a vehicle to skinning fish to being an amazing person. My pawpaw was the greatest. A lot has gone downhill since he’s been gone, but I promise my best to do what I can, to be there for when he couldn’t. I love you so much pawpaw. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about you and that I don’t feel you there with me. And I’m doing everything
Prayers for the family. I do not know this family at all, yet my heart hurts for you. Praying God gives you peace and strength through your time of troubles.
I have known Curtis all of my life, we grew up together. He was my cousin, and stayed at our house a lot, going fishing with family and helping with chores. He was a great person, loving and kind. He will be missed. All of the family is in my
thoughts and prayers as you go through this very difficult time. May God give you strength and comfort. I am so sorry to hear of this tragic accident.
Prayers for friends and family
Curtis and Ruth are good people. I use to babysit their children when they were young. Also was a neighbor for several years. I am so sorry that Ruth and his family are having to deal with losing him. They all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Prayers for the family!!He was a good man that loved his family very much!!
I also worked with Curtis for almost 20 years. He was a fine man. I know he will be missed. So sorry Ms Ruth, Keith and y’alls family. My prayers for you all.
This was my pawpaw. He’s was the greasy man I knew. The strongest man I knew. He taught me everything I know. How to fish, how to hunt, how to shoot a gun. How to drive a vehicle. How to take care of my things and they would last me a long time. He’s was perfect. I love him so much.
I worked with Curtis for 25 years. Curtis would do anything in the world to help anyone. My thoughts and prayers to his wife and family.
This was my father-in-law Curtis Morris. He was a wonderful man and a hard worker. It was a tragic accident but we all know that he is with God now and at peace.
