Curtis Von Durham was born on September 29, 1966 in Lexington North Carolina to Curtis & Pauline Durham.  Pauline had five children.  The first four were all girls.   His Mother had lots of baby girl clothes left over when he was born,  so he wore a dress for the first few weeks of his life. 

Curtis liked to pretend he was a super hero when he was a boy and flew around wearing a cape most of the time.  He followed his mother everywhere.

When it was time to start school on the first day of kindergarden he refused to stay there without her.  He was sure she had accidentally forgotten him.  So he ran home as fast as he could and was there on the porch waiting for her when she pulled up.  She had to take him back to school and tell him he had to stay there.  Curtis was VERY smart.  When they tested him in school he scored so high they thought he must have cheated?  They had to repeat the tests because they couldn't believe someone so young could score so high!  Curtis had a GREAT sense of humor.  He was always ready for a joke or prank on someone.  He was a strong man with a great body and very outspoken.  He wasn't shy to express his opinions.  He was a man all the way to end and no one could break him.  He was stubborn when he made his mind up to do something and would always come to get you if you were in trouble or needed him.  He once walked out of work in Kansas with $20 in his pocket and figured out a way to come all the way to California to pick me up and take me home with him.  We had big plans to create a life together that died along with him on December 21, 2018.  My life is forever changed without him.
