David Wayne Curtis March 12, 1971 – June 27, 2020

David Wayne Curtis of Benton passed away at the age of 49. He was born in Stuttgart to Larry Curtis and Barbara Ann Curtis Ritter. One of his favorite pastimes was hunting, along with fishing - even when he never caught anything. David was a loving and caring person, especially to his family. His smile would light up the room and bring smiles to all. He loved to mow the yard, even if it didn't need it. Another love of David's was pickles, and anything pickled. David worked briefly as a CNA for nursing homes in Brinkley and DeWitt. David was a graduate of Clarendon High School. Above all of David's passions, he had a tremendous love for the Lord and put his eternal soul in the hands of his Savior.

David is preceded in death by his grandparents, Robert and Muriel Curtis, and James and Nellie Mayfield. Survivors are his parents, Larry (Margie) Curtis and Barbara Ritter; sons, David Lee Curtis and Hunter Wayne Curtis; sister, Renae (Lance) McGraw; niece, Jenna; and nephew, Jared; step-sisters, Angela (Terry) Howard, and Tonya Millspaugh; brother, Darrell Lynn Curtis; along with numerous other extended family and friends.

Funeral services were July 1 at the Clarendon First Baptist Church. Arrangements were by Fowler Funeral Home of Clarendon.
