The Kleindienst family
That is exactly how I remember him. We are heartbroken for the family. Love and Prayers
What a wonderful man! His family and our church family were so very fortunate to have his presence for as long as we did! I thank God that I knew him and loved him.
Surprised and saddened to hear of Curtis’s passing. I remember him as the closest friend I ever had. My prayers are with you all.
Such a wonderful caring man. I can’t begin to count the numerous times he went out of his way to help Jamie and I (and everyone else) during all those softball years. Just an incredibly good man who could be counted on to keep his word and always have your back. Doing things out of sheer kindness, never expecting anything in return. We send our thoughts and prayers for comfort to you guys. Thank you for sharing him with us. Bless your sweet family.
Debra, Jennifer, Kayla and the rest of the family: I am so sorry for the loss of Mr. Curtis. He was always a happy go lucky gentleman. He made sure that Kayla had everything she needed. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers during this time of grief.
Love you all.
So sorry for your loss. Curtis was always smiling and offering a smile to everyone. He will be missed. God’s blessings to you and your family.
When my granddaughters and I came back to Timbercrest Church we sat on the back row with Curtis he introduced himself to us and said I may not remember yalls names but he did every Sunday he called out all of our names. We are saddened but happy at the same time now knowing he is home now with Jesus leading the choir with his beautiful voice Janette will definitely miss his waffles every Sunday also. PRAYERS, Comfort and Peace to you all at this time
Curtis was a lucky man! He was loved by so many, and he had passion for the things in life that were important to him. No one can ask for more than that! We were not ready to lose him, but we will always remember his friendship, his kindness, and his wonderful smile. He is now residing in his heavenly home and having an amazing reunion with those loved ones who are welcoming him there. Rest easy, Curtis, and go fly high upon that mountain!
Well Curtis, you did beat me to Heaven! And, I never did tell your mother about our swimming in those old leech-infested tanks behind your old home on Meyers Ln! What a day! But I’m still sad to have never called after moving back home (to Waco). Nonetheless, we had such a blessed childhood and I’ll never forget those wonderful days of ‘yesteryear’, growing up with you, Doug, Rudy and Mary! God Bless you all!
We are very sad about the death of our brother in Christ, Curtis. He was a wonderful and “always willing” servant of the Lord Jesus! He loved God and the church greatly! During our time serving as pastor and wife at Timber Crest Baptist Church, he strongly and wholeheartedly supported us! We love him dearly! We will be praying for Debra and the entire family. He will be missed by many! We know how much Bro. Curtis liked to sing. Now he sings in Heaven’s choir!
Debra, I am so sorry to find out that Curtis has left this earthly life but excited that he has gone to his heavenly home. I know he will be greatly missed cause it seems that he had touched so many different lives while here. You have my deepest sympathies and please know that I will hold you in my prayers.
Prayers for your family!
