He was born in Hughes Springs, Texas on October 4, 1924 where he lived and worked on the family farm.

Curtis loved to talk to about his family and loved to tell stories if you would listen. He would tell you to hold up fingers for how many times you have heard the story and continue regardless of how many fingers you were showing.
