"Papa Terry"

By Sharon Curtis

Heaven has received a new angel, Papa Terry went to be with the Lord on October 23rd, 2016. A man of faith who filled our hearts with love, joy and laughter will be remembered forever in our hearts, the man with the best hugs ever.

He left behind many family and friends to cherish his memory. Some family members include: his wife Sharon, his children Michael, Gary, Jena, Claudio, Carlina, Cynthia and Lily. His brother Loren and nephew Kristopher. His adorable grandchildren: Tatiana, Natalie, Shayla, Rachel, Andrew, Braeden, Landen, Cambria, Cordelia, Matilda, Scott, Nicholas, Sarah, Garrett, and Austin. He will also be missed by many other family members and friends. 

He is reunited with open arms by his dad and mom, Lyle Virgil Curtis and Maxine Lovey Curtis along with several other relatives he dearly missed.

Chapel services will be on Monday, Nov. 14, at 10 a.m. located at Hillcrest Memorial Park, 9101 Kern Canyon Road, Bakersfield CA 93306. Military services will take place at 12:30 p.m. at the Bakersfield National Cemetery, 30338 E. Bear Mountain Blvd., Arvin CA 93203. 

The reception and celebration of life will take place at Bill Lee's Bamboo Chopsticks Restaurant, 1203 18th St., Bakersfield, CA 93301 at 1:30 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, please honor Terry and his memory by completing a random act of kindness to another person or making a donation to a Veterans organization or the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Our family wishes to acknowledge with deep appreciation the many expressions of love, concern and kindness shown to them during this time of sorrow. May God Bless and Keep You ALL!
