“We are still in shock and grieving from it all,” the post stated. “My dad told me, ‘Do not be sad when someone you love passes away because a piece of them will live on with you, and those they have touched along the way.’ Curt was an amazing man who had never met a stranger. Quick with a joke and a smile, Curt could tell a story like no other and had a heart as big as the moon.”
