For Janis, Megan, Hailey, Tessa and Vaughn;
Uncle Jacques, Auntie Linda and Duane,
Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for your loss, and I regret not being able to tell you in person. Please know that while you are grieving, you are in our thoughts as we honour the memory of Curtis.
My own memories of Curtis go back 25 years when he and Duane came to the same junior high school as David and I. I remember that:
He was a very good athlete. He played all the sports he could and was especially talented at hockey.
He was an outstanding musician. He could play the guitar as well as his dad, and it was eerie how much Curtis sounded like Garth Brooks when he wanted to. His best stuff though, was what he wrote and sang himself.
He loved his family very much. I remember how happy he was when Megan was born, and I recall how good Janis and their children made him feel. There is no doubt in my mind that they were ever very far from his thoughts and that he was very proud of them all.
What I remember best, and what I appreciated most was his friendship. He didn’t tolerate injustice and was fierce in looking after his friends. His stubborn loyalty helped me many times and I loved him all the more for it.
Please know that I will miss him terribly.
Love always,
Darren, Moji, Grace and Isaac.
