Mr. Joel Douglas Curtis

Joel Douglas (Doug) Curtis of Fort Worth, Texas was born July 7, 1960 in Ashland, Kentucky and was called home by Our Heavenly Father on February 23, 2023.

Doug was a very proud American and served in the Air Force, both active and reserve, for 25 years. After retiring he joined the Dallas Police Department and proudly served 23 years. He was a long time member of the Blue Elders Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, and had a passion for riding his motorcycle and traveling with his wife. He exemplified unconditional love and had a servant’s heart. He touched countless lives and created an extended family of so many through his unconditional love of people.

Doug was preceded in death by his son, Brent Douglas Curtis, first wife, Tricia Curtis, stepfather, Dean L Mattox, sister Suzanne Parsons and biological father, Joel Parsons.

He is survived by wife, Tommie Wood Curtis, mother, Loretta Curtis, father, Samuel D Curtis Jr., sister, Kathy (Carl) Cross, brothers, Samuel (Susan) Curtis, Jesse (Shara) Parsons, Robert (Hannah) Parsons, Joel (Katy) Parsons, Nicholas (Samantha) Parsons, stepsisters, Gala (Mike) Messerschmidt, Brenda (Craig) Rashaw, stepbrother, Tony (Leslie) Mattox, stepson, Derek (Valerie) Heard. His daughters at heart, Elsa (Chris) Sieg and Melissa (Joel) Bishop and his Goddaughter Kim Satrom. Doug had 10 grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Because Doug considered so many friends his family, it is nearly impossible to list all of whom he loved.
