He graduated from Surry Central High School in 1963 and married the love of his life later that same year. Curtis was employed with the Norfolk and Southern Railway for over 40 years where he developed some long-term friendships. He was a faithful member of Crossroads Baptist Church and served as a deacon for as long as his health would allow. He lived a life guided by kindness, integrity and compassion. He often said that he simply wanted to be remembered as a good man, and those who knew him would agree that he achieved just that. Left to cherish his memory are his daughters and sons-in-law, Karen and Robbie White of Pilot Mountain, NC, and Tracy and Lewie Lindsey of Pearisburg, Virginia; grandchildren, Garrett Samuel Bullard, Logan Elizabeth Lynch (Josiah), Breigh Ann Lindsey, and Tucker Benjamin Lindsey; childhood friend, Folger Hamlin; and special friend who he considered a brother, Steve Pratt. Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Linda Frances Simpson; a grandson, Jacob Chance Beck; and brothers and sisters-in-law, Ronnie and Maggie Simpson and Mitchell and Lynda Simpson.
