Though we only met a few times it was clear that David was a good man, thoughtful, intelligent, patient and kind. The pain of this tragedy for me surely fades into insignificance compared to the unending hurt being felt by Cindy, Alexa, David's daughters, his father and siblings and everyone else whose life he touched. David will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew him.
How lucky we are to have known someone that makes saying goodbye so hard.
R.I.P David P Curtis.

I missed David so much. He is the best uncle in the world. He was a good person to all of my family and he was a good man. Sleep in peace David.

Gosh! It's hard to believe you came along only 3 1/2 years ago. It seems like you were always just part of the family. It's not common for a random person to come along and make such a great impact in the lives of an ENTIRE family. To be honest, I'm still in shock that you aren't here. I'd give the world to get a "Life Remote" so that my beautiful Aunt Cindy and those gorgeous girls (Leslie, Courtney, Christina Jo and Alexa) could press "rewind." You are one of THE most beautiful souls that I've ever met and I promise I will never, ever forget you nor will I allow your "best buddy," Ethan to forget you. I will always be grateful for the love, admiration, respect and pure joy that you gave my aunt and cousin from nearly the instant you met them. I'm so grateful I was given the opportunity to witness such a beautiful love, and I still plan "to get my own David one day." I am ever so grateful for the time and effort you put into establishing a relationship with my son and making sure that he knew he was important to you. Basketball season starts in just two weeks, Ethan says he knows you will still make it to his basketball games! I treasure as a memory every visit, call and text. I miss you SO much already. I love you.

He was a true southern gentleman, and I knew when I met him that he would be a part of our family instantly. He was a humble, kind, funny, loving and generous human being. He loved all of us, I think before he had even met us, and most importantly, he loved my sister unconditionally. Not only did he love her on her best days, but he loved her even more on her worst days. David had recently proposed to Cindy, and we were all looking forward to their special day. Just when we learned that David was on his way to a probable full recovery of his injuries, life delivered him a sucker punch. We all lost a great friend, future brother-in-law, son-in-law and uncle. We lost David. He will forever be in our hearts, and nobody will ever fill his shoes. My heart breaks for Leslie, Courtney, Christina Jo; Cindy, and Alexa. I have never seen such a dedicated, interested father, partner, and step-dad. Along with everybody else who knew and loved you, I will miss you forever, David.

Words cannot explain the sadness we feel in our hearts for David's three daughters, Cindy, Alexa, David's father and his entire family.

David was SO PROUD of his beautiful daughters and it was clear from the moment we met him that they meant the world to him!!

Like Cindy, we too quickly fell in love with David as he had such a warm, caring and gentle heart. He was such a special man. We feel so fortunate that we got the chance to know him and have him in our life.

We miss him already.
