Eulogy
Kenneth Roy Curtis
Nov.7,1943-Feb.2,2019
Born in Clinton, Ok. to Henry Munroe & Lorene Curtis,
and is survived by 2 brothers, Lyle and Charles, a son Keith, a daughter Debra, and his wife Carol.
A Jack of all trades in life, he served in the Navy as a corpsman.
He went on to get his master’s degree in Phys. Ed, and coached football for 6 years.
He bought and published a newspaper in Seiling, OK. He then became the City Manager.
He enjoyed citing that his full name translated to “Handsome King Courteous,” so when he met his Queen, Carol, they left OK for new adventures in Phoenix, and finally San Diego.
He loved everyone unconditionally in our community, and that spirit was reciprocated.
His favorite game was poker, so when the Lord called him home from metastatic liver cancer, his cremains included 5 poker chips and a royal flush.
Nice way to cash out, Honey Bunny!
What a wonderful, concise and compelling tribute to my amazing husband, Ken Curtis!
So different from any memorial I had ever attended, or been part of.These videos help ME in a way that’s hard to define.
