Curtis was born on June 18, 1947 in Weslaco, Texas in the Rio Grande Valley. During Curtis’ early years the family lived in several of the Valley towns. They finally settled in Rio Hondo where Curtis spent his last several years of high school. Curtis was the first grandchild in a large family of 12 aunts and uncles, many of whom lived close to his family. His relationships with all of his cousins were established during this time and to this day, they remain close.
Curtis graduated from San Houston University with a degree in police science. He further pursued his law enforcement education by graduating from South Texas College of Law in Houston, Texas with a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree. After a more than 40 year career in law enforcement, Curtis retired a Master Peace Officer in 2008 from Harris County Constable’s department and relocated to Georgetown, Texas.
During his retirement, Curtis’ upbringing in a large family of many aunts, uncles, and cousins, led him to Genealogical research. His passion was recording his memories and researching family histories. He left behind a legacy of genealogical records that now can be passed on to other family members.
After building his house in Walburg and buying his beloved John Deere tractor he dabbled in planting corn, tomatoes, and cucumbers on his four acres. He was blessed later in life to have his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren move back to Texas and settle in the same neighborhood. He thoroughly loved making memories with his grandchildren.
Curtis is survived by his wife of 45 years, Annette Stevenson; daughter, Cayce Stevenson of Georgetown, Texas; son and daughter-in-law, Scott and Holly Stevenson of Georgetown, Texas; and grandchildren, Elias, Graham, and Willow Stevenson.
