A fan of television classics, he loved watching M*A*S*H and was known for his entertaining impersonations, bringing joy to those around him. His humor and warmth were ever-present in his interactions, highlighted by his close friendships which he fondly described as the "three musketeers," with James Collier and Jaime Newcombe as his steadfast companions.

Curtis is survived by his father, Thomas Halcomb, and stepmother Cindy Halcomb of Marmaduke, Arkansas; his mother, Linda Halcomb; and his sister, Candice Young, along with her husband Bill, of Byron, Michigan.
