Curtis married the love of his life Tonya on November 21, 1992. Then on March 11, 1994 they were blessed to welcome their only child Curtis Dalton.

He had numerous jobs through the years including oil rigs, Harrison Construction, Quinton Oil Company, Fort James and most recently Road Foreman for Haskell County Dist. 3. He loved Haskell County and helping the people of the community. He enjoyed the outdoors and anything to do with hunting and fishing. One of his greatest joys was deer hunting with his “tripod” his family. So many good times with too many friends to count from Cancun, Nascar, Canada, The Island at Brooken Cove, or just hanging out in the shop. He always enjoyed spending time with his friends and was always the life of the party. When his Mom called and said that the biscuits and gravy was ready let me tell you he was the first to the table, then Heaven help anybody that got in his seat. Yes, at 50 years old he still sat in HIS spot at Mom and Dad’s house. He was greatly loved by his family and friends who thought the world of him and will miss his big smile and him pestering them.
