Your Father/husband was our UPS delivery man to Lansing Ophthalmology.  He always brighten our day.  He was always happy, funny and kind.  He will be missed by many.
Co-workers, Beth & Kelly

Dear Sharie and family, may peace and healing be with you during this sad time.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sharie and family, I am so very sorry to here of Ken's passing. I will always remember Ken, more recently our chats on his delivery route. Ken always had a great attitude and lots of energy. God bless Ken and your family. Mike Mielock

Sharie, 

Our prayers are with you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss.

Shari and all the kids. Im very sorry for the passing of Ken. I so glad that he was part of my life and his legacy will live in each of you guys forever. He was a great husband,farther and friend. God bless you all. Love you all. Uncle Mark

Sharie, I am so sorry to hear about Kens passing. Although I did not know him very well, I can tell by the pass few days and the funeral on Wednesday I truly missed out on knowing a very good person. Seeing all of his fellow UPS buddies standing together, a packed church with standing room only really told me a lot about him.  May God bless you and your children.

Ken was our UPS driver and he always had a smile and time to talk about his wife and kids.  Cherish the great memories you have of your life together.  My prayers are with your family at this time of sorrow.  Trust in God to help you through this.

Ken was our UPS driver for 10 years at Mid-Michigan Orthopaedic Institute.  And we shared a lot of laughter thru the years.  We will miss him.  He was a remarkable man of great integrity, honesty and warmth.    May the grace of God give you peace and strength.

Sandy Hart

Cherie and family: My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May God and his Angels surround you and give you peace.

I haven't seen Ken since we moved to Florida in 1970, but he was my first and very best friend.  There isn't a year that has gone by that I did not think of him and wonder how his life was going.  I will remember him with love and fondness for all the fun we had on Ferguson St and in the big field.  He taught me how to tie my shoes and make my bed and was really really terrific at Tag and kick the can.  I'll miss him even more now.  His family has my deepest condolences, his loss will touch everyone who knew him.

I am so sorry to hear about Ken's passing. Ken and I grew up together and were best friends from 6th grade until High School graduation. I have many great memories that will be remembered forever. Most memories are sports related. Basketball, football, track... Ken and I taught ourselves how to play tennis, 8 hours a day everyday for about 6 months. We wound up on Eatern High's tennis team. I am thankful for those years and remember them as the best times....My thoughts and prayers go to his family at this time.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Ken, my childhood friend from Ferguson St.

Alana, Katarina, Collin, Eliza and Clay; your Dad was a truly good person. Without opening his mouth or saying a word his goodness would shine through. He was our UPS man, but he was more than that. He always supported charity,  was funny, kind and when he could would stop and truly ask "How are you guys doing" but he cared to know the answer. He cared about the answer. Your Dad was an excellent man, high ideals and I would say that it was heartwarming at Qdoba to see everyone there to support your Dad. He was and will always be highly regarded by so many.
Sharie, I will pray for you. I cannot imagine your overwhelming grief at this time and going forward. 
We loved knowing Ken! He was our Prince Charming (how he always signed his charitable donations) and was a blessing to this Earth.
Laura and David Olson, Keller Williams Realty in East Lansing

Lisa and the whole Curtin family, my sincere condolenses go out to you all.  May all of the prayers for your family carry you through this most trying time and may your hearts be at peace knowing that he is no longer suffering from the pain of his illness.

Sharie, I am so very sorry to hear about Ken.  I will always remember you both from the birthing classes, but most of all running into you guys at Silver Bells. You've lost a treasure.  I pray your faith, family and friends bring you comfort during this difficult time and in the days ahead.

Curtin Family..please accept our heartfelt condolences for your loss. Our prayer for you is that you feel God's love and peace. We are truly sorry. Love and prayers.

Dear Sharie and family. So sorry to hear of Ken's passing. We will always remember our days on LaSalle Boulevard and your family walks by our house. It seemed such a short time ago. Tom as the mailman and Ken as the UPS driver would wave to each other daily along their routes in East Lansing. May you cherish Ken's memory and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. With deepest condolences. Tom, Joan, Alex and Beth Reid.

I want to send my condolences to the entire Curtin family! I've heard some wonderful stories about Ken and his family.

I am so sorry for your loss.  Ken was such a friendly, upbeat person.  His sense of humor and smile have brightened my days for the last ten years.  He will be missed.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

The Curtin/Brink Family,So very sorry for your loss.Keeping everyone in our thoughts and prayers.

Ken was an exceptional person, always smiling, always polite, and always remembered you when you saw him.  He had boundless energy ---"running into him" during his daily rounds was a high point for the day he was always so upbeat.  What a model employee he was for UPS and a model for all of us on how to treat others.  He will be missed!

We want to send our condolences to the entire Curtin family.  Our prayers are with you at this difficult time.  God Bless

I was shocked and saddened to hear that our wonderful UPS driver, Ken, had passed away.  He brought more than just packages to us at GreenStone.   
Whenever I had the opportunity to see Ken deliver packages he did so with a great smile, awesome energy, spirit, and humor. Such a great guy!

Ken was the ups driver where i worked he was the nicest person. Iam so sorry for your loss my thoughts and prayers are with your family

Sharie & Family, 

So sorry to hear about Ken/Dad. May the grace, peace & love of our Savior Jesus hold you & comfort you through this difficult time.

Our Love, Frank & Diane Godi

To the Curtin Family:
I was deeply saddened by the news of Ken's death even though I knew that he had been very ill.

All of the Sisters at Marywood are praying that your deep faith will sustain you during this very difficult time. After all of his suffering and pain, may Ken now rest in peace.

Sincere sorrow and blessings to the Curtain family.  Ken delivered packages to the neighbors of Park Place Condo Association in East Lansing.  He always took a moment to say hello and chat a little about golf!  Always a smile, a caring heart and upbeat personality!  We miss Ken and know that God has welcomed him in the heaven above, where he is at peace.

Ken was an amazing person and we are honored to have known him.  He was a wonderful friend and we enjoyed all the good times and celebrations with him at our home:  4th of Julys, drinking beer around the campfire, New Years Eve, watching sporting events on TV.  He was an amazing person, father, husband, and son.  Our arms surround you with love and caring as you grieve.
Love, Rich and Grandma Sue

All of the employees at C Weaver Physical Therapy send our condolences to kens wife and children.  We so enjoyed seeing his smile and friendly words each and every time he delivered to us from UPS.  We miss him.

Ken was our UPS driver for years. His laugh and smile always brighten up our office. Ken you will be missed.

To the entire Curtin family we offer our sincerest condolences.  May he rest in peace and be welcomed to paradise by teh angels.  May our Dear Lord hold all of you in his loving hands.

This is such a loss, so young, so much still to do... Yet so much already accomplished. Every time I would run into Ken & Shari there was another baby on the way. It was only October that I heard he was ill. How fast life goes... Sending love and sympathy to all the family.

Dear Sharie and Family, I'm so sorry for you loss. Ken was a wonderful UPS driver for us and always had a smile on his face and great sense of humor. My prayers go out to all in your family.

Ken was our UPS driver for as long as I have been at my job...(though we thought of him as part of our staff). We were deeply saddened to hear of his illness and heartbroken to hear of his passing. We will miss his contagious smile and wonderful attitude.  Our prayers and deepest sympathy go out to his wife and family!

I worked with Ken for 15 years  at UPS as an Operations Supervisor.  Ken was a role model for all UPS Driver's.  He will be missed dearly.  My prayers go out to his family.

My sympathy to the Curtin and Brink families at this time of lost. I worked with Ken at Sparrow many years ago. Carl F. Acker

We are thinking of your family at this time of loss. Thoughts and prayer your way from the Levandowski family.

Sharie, my heart goes out to your and your family. May your heart soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Sometimes it's not the quanity but the quality of life. May Ken rest in peace with your dad, and one day you will see him again.

I have fond memories of Kenny.  He was my next door neighbor as a kid growing up.  Good sense of humor and never a bully.  Thank God for people like Kenny.   Take comfort that there are so many loved ones around to support and love on your family at this time.

I have fond memories of Kenny as a childhood neighbor.  He was one of the good ones....Prayers and thoughts are with the family.  Cathy Brunton

Sharie, 
I'm truly sorry to hear the passing of your beloved Ken. My prayers go out to you and your children; May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord let his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace.

Isabel Garcia

To the entire family, I am so very sorry for your loss.  I will miss waving to Ken along his UPS route.  Whenever we spoke he would talk about his beautiful wife and children and the family vacation he was looking forward to.
I will miss his smile and familiar face in our neighborhood.  May you all find comfort and strength in each other.

We are so sorry for your loss. I've personally known Ken as the UPS man for the last 14 years. He uplifted our lives in the office and we loved when he would come in. He will be truly missed. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

We had a business until 2005 in East Lansing, and Ken was our UPS person. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life; he was always in an upbeat mood and positive energy just eminated from him. I have no doubt where Ken is right now; singing with the angels.  God bless all of his family.  I'm praying that your sorrow will soon be replaced with nothing but happy memories of this wonderful man.

I am so very sorry for your family's loss.  Ken was a wonderful man, he was our UPS driver for many years.  I will never forget that loud voice of his entering into our office (Endodontic Specialist).  He always had a smile on his face even if his day wasnt going great. I feel very blessed to say I knew Ken Curtin. my heart goes out to the entire family.

Sharie, My heart just breaks for your loss.  I have always admired your strength and determination, as well as your sense of humor, when we have worked together.  Please trust your strengths to help you in this difficult time.  Most importantly, know that you have many friends and family to help you in any way.  May you be blessed with much love and comfort during this very sad time.

Ken was the best neighbor a person could live next to.  I've watched his beautiful children grow up and saw what an incredible and loving father he was.  Whenever I needed something done, Ken was there to help me like he helped everyone else.  The Curtin family are like family to me.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family.  I am so sorry for your loss and may all the people who love and care about you help you through your grief.  What an incredible husband, father, friend and neighbor Ken was.  He will live on in your hearts.

I met Clay just a couple months ago. I'm in his grade. I go to St. Gerard and I, among many of my classmates, have been praying for Mr. Curtin and the Curtin Family. I will continue to pray. Clay, I just want you to know I'm so sorry and I'm always here if you need a friend:)

Words can not the express my deep sorrow on the passing of Ken. My thoughts and prayers will be with the Curtin family

I met Ken 13 years ago he had a smile on his face as he did each time I saw him. He was our favorite UPS guy and he will be missed. May God bless his wife and children and wrap his loving arms around them during this very difficult time.

We are so sorry for your loss. Ken was a great man, husband, and father. We loved his relaxed and laid back style--he was so easy to talk to and never met a stranger. He will be greatly missed. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. We will continue to lift your family up in prayer.

Shari, Alana, Kat, Colin, Eliza and Clay- We send our deepest sympathies and prayers for all of you.  I prayy that Ken has found peace in the arms of our loving Lord.  May the bless and keep you all.  Love Catherine, John, Eddie, Clare and Kevin Brennan
