Written Tributes

Cousin Curtis,

First of all we're going to miss you like no other, but we know you're resting in the arms of Jesus. That alone definitley takes the sting out of your passing and longing for the day we'll see you again. Towa and I will miss the way you ebraced us everytime we were in each others company. You never failed to hold us tight and give us both a warm loving kiss on the cheek. There's not very many men in our family who embraced family like you did, but if we've learned anything from you, it's how to love one another genuinely and unconditionally. Cousin Diana, your tribute to your husband and us as guest was simply amazing and so inspiring, that I couldn't stop the happy tears. The bible tells us in Psalms 30:5, Weeping May Endure For A Night, But Joy Cometh In The Morning. Our prayer for you and the family is, that you will weep beacuse it's only natural for someone whom you've loved and cared for 44 plus years. But, that everyday God grants you the joy that he's allowed you and the family to experience with His son cousin Curtis. Towa and I love you guys dearly and if you ever need anything please don't hesitate to call on us. Love you Dearly!!!

A beautiful soul, a beautiful voice. A beautiful family, a beautiful life. Such love and light in you and your family, Diana. Sending you support and grace as you praise your husband and father, and the beautiful story that you illustrated together with love. Wishing peace, comfort and love for all 🙏🏻🕯️🕊️

Such a wonderful tribute, amazing legacy!  While out in the mission field, I would always here of the "Village". My sons, who were staying with my sister, would mention their experiences related to OSL and other "village" related activities. I would ofter hear about "Uncle Curtis and Auntie Val". On one of my visits to the US to visit family, at would meet Curtis. My first impression? He was tall, gentle, and loving. Living half way around the world, it was comforting to know that Curtis was one of the men in the lives of my sons, modeling what a life well-lived looked like. Moreover, what a life in Christ looked like. My heart goes out to Diana and her family.  Prayers ascend for you during this time of bereavement.  We extend our deepest condolences as we together feel this great loss. It won't be long until we see Curt again.  Come, Lord Jesus, Come!

Hallelujah! Diana Alexander you are a saint! You completed your gentle giant husband Curtis' memorial. I am blessed by you loving on my cousin. The passion and love that you have for our heavenly Creator permiates through your spirit. Not everyone gets to love on another human being like you and Curtis' union. One 💕

When I think of Curtis I see a beautiful smile and the song "God Is". No one could sing that song for me like Curtis did! So sorry he had to go so soon. We will always love you and thank God to have known him. Will remember you and family in prayer. God keep you, strengthen and comfort you Diane.

My last memory of Curtis was coming to visit when Montez had passed away. I accompanied cousin Rita to Curtis and Diana's and helped to put together food sacks and plastic bags with essentials for the homeless that his mom, Montez use to do for the homeless. We went to some park and handed them out. And later Curtis shared the gospel with the few that remain behind to hear about the love of Jesus. The people were so grateful and Curtis presentation was warm and welcoming.

But I will forever remember his love for our LORD, his smile and willingness to help.

I will see you cousin when awaken at the sound of our Master's voice.....can't wait.

Love and prayers to you Diana and sons/family in your loss.

Cousin Carol

Sincere condolences to the Alexander's. May God keep close to you.

Kyle, Reesa and family, the words cannot come for us to say how sorry we are to hear of the passing of your dad. They wouldn't be adequate anyway. So for now, we mourn silently with you, while a little corner of our hearts beat with the hope that this mourning is not in vain.

Emily "I am sorry that your father died and I hope you feel better and I hope you are comforted and being shown love to."

Our hearts are very sad as we grieve with you over the loss of Curtis.He was such an honorable young man. He and my Michael were friends and as a teenager he.sold his Gocart he and his dad built.to Michael and oh how he enjoyed speeding in the hills.May God comfort the family as He is totally able to do is our prayer.

I learned two very important things from Curtis, who was always willing to share: I learned how to sing tenor on pitch in Valley Voices of Victory (Curtis sang in my right ear). The second thing was how to make a true vegan sandwich before vegan was a thing. Thanks Diana for sharing him. Just believe that this is not the end. A better day is ahead. Love Sharon

Greetings Beautiful Family, when I met Curtis, I immediately knew in my spirit that he was the rock and cornerstone of his family. Curtis, with that brilliant smile, lit up the room every time. I appreciate the warmth and love he expressed. Condolences and Prayers to my Alexander family and to his friends who love Cousin Curtis. Peace be with all of you. 🙏🏽🕊️💜💐

When I think of Curt first & foremost I think of family. So often people would see Curt, Val & my resemblance & assume that we were all family & in truth we were & are.

As I live far away, we only saw each other a couple of times a year. But what I remember each time is that he always brought a smile to my face with a hug & encouraging word. There are people in this life that you just enjoy spending time & talking with. Might be a few minutes or might be a Sabbath afternoon, but Curt was always that person to me.

My heart is sad, but thankful that I knew him long enough & well enough to call him family!

May God bless the Alexander family,

Michae Lake
