One thing Curits enjoyed immensely was sitting quietly by a creek, river or lake, fishing pole in hand, taking in all of the beauty of Earth Mother. He was known for waking up before the sun came out, grabbing his coffee at the gas station near his house before heading out to Dog Creek or Silver Creek, his two favorite places to fish. He always carried Tic Tacs in his pocket. He once told his granddaughter that he always carried them, because his own grandfather had carried them, especially when going fishing. Curtis was proud of his Native Heritage and his grandchildren the most. He was also very loved within the Twin Falls community and will be missed by many. For Curtis’ memorial service, he will be cremated, and his ashes released in a private Native American ceremony. A public Celebration of Life will be held at The Hideout on June 6th, from 3:00pm - 7:00pm. All who knew him are welcome to join us.
