Curtis served his county for many years as a previous member of the Parkers Chapel School Board, Union County Highway Supervisor, Union County Quorum Court member and El Dorado News Times Sports Writer and Editor. His priorities were God, family and being a Public Servant.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers that you please make a donation to Life Touch Hospice. This will allow more people in need to be able to experience the love and caring that the facility provides. In our families’ opinion, this is one of the finest facilities in the nation
