Written Tributes

Curtis is one the most loving, encouraging and caring people we've ever met. We were blessed with his broad smile and his affectionate embrace.

His friendship has been a source of wisdom and comfort over the years. We so look forward to the day when we see that smile as we see our Savior in peace!

Curtis was always kind and thoughtful whenever I saw him. He would sincerely ask how are you doing and wait for a response. I remember one time I responded not well and instead of moving on like most people do, Curtis asked if he could pray for me right there on the spot. I'll never forget Curtis's prayer, that day I witnessed his love and faith in God. When he opened his eyes he said with assurance, sister you're going to be alright, I know you are in God's care.

Rest In Peace!

To my cousin Curtis, I shall truly miss you. I know in our later days we only saw at funerals for the most part and before all that our few chance meetings at Mrs Mitchell house in Pasadena and another time at Magic Mountain with you and Diane again. Each time we greeted each other with all the exuberance and thrill like when we were both kids.

Diane, if there is anything I can ever do for you and the family please let me know.

cousin Darrell.

I am eternally grateful for the impact Curtis Sr. (Uncle Curt, as they affectionately referred to him) has had on my grown children for this life and the next. Sleep in Peace Brother, Jesus is on the horizon... See you Soon!! Your Sis, Regina

He will be truly missed and loved. My condolences to all the family. I pray the Lord gives you peace and comfort. Love is Love 💖

When my earthly father was not around Uncle Curt was a truly wonderful father figure who demonstrated to me what a man of God, husband, and father should be. I am forever grateful God put him in my life and for the love Uncle Curt always showed me. I love you Uncle Curtis and can't wait for our next hug.

He is Uncle Curt to me. Though we don't share the same blood, he always invited me and treated me as kin. I met him when I was 11 years old, Operation Sack Lunch. His warm big smile, his enormous boysterous laugh, his kind and loving demeanor--all things that helped shaped me into the man I am today. Uncle Curt showed me at an early age what it meant to be a loving father and an upstanding person. The world

lost an icon, and I lost an uncle. So much can be said, but, I smile with tears in my eyes, knowing that he had an impact on a whole generation of kids that grew up in that Loma Linda house. Thank you for showing me what it meant to be a man. I will always love you. May you rest in peace.

One of the purest hearts I have known. He was always trying to teach us basketball tricks and help us to be better. One of the best memories I have of Uncle Curtis, was he was teaching us about defense and how it was the most important thing on the court. He told us to score on him, and us being young cats and thinking we were nice, thought "I'm bout to cook this old man"! Well he commenced to letting each one of us try multiple times, and I believe that one or two of us MAY have gotten up a shot, but for the majority didn't even get that, much less score. He always had a cool and easy spirit that resonated with me throughout my life and he will be missed. Love and prayers to all of the fam. Big Dave Baker.

I met Curtis & Diana when I visited Maratha SDA Church (back in the day). Amazingly I was greeted at the door by this gentleman with a smile that lite the room, (yes you guessed right, it was Curtis Alexander). He looked at me and said you look familiar, do I know you? I replied I don't think so, I get that all the time. I have that look. We laughed, gave each other a big hug and the rest is history. After service that day Curtis introduced me to his lovely wife. That's when it all made sense, the reason this brother was always smiling , he was married to an angel. Immediately we became not just friends but brothers and sister. I was just out of the military and looking for a home church. I was not just blessed with a home church, but I was blessed with an instant family. I can't speak of one without the other. Curtis and Diana is the epitome of what a Christian should be. Curtis mentored me in so many ways, church, basketball, family life. The dude had skills. I moved back to Florida some years later. We lost contact after awhile, but I will never forget all that was poured into me by this great man. A man of honor he will always be to me. My brother you will be missed, you are loved and you will never be forgotten. Thank you Diana, Curtis Jr., Kyle, and the twins for sharing this humble and selfless man with me and so many others.

Love & Blessings Always

Mr. Alexander is an example of GREATNESS!!!!! Greatness as a man!!!! Greatness as a father!!!! Greatness as a husband!!!! In my short time in knowing Mr. Curtis, I can remember him always having a smile, laughing, joking and being a leader. l left Cali in 1995. I was 16. It took a while but I joined Facebook last year. I reach out to those I remembered from Vally Followship SDA church. Mr. Curtis Alexander was one the first people I wanted to connect with!!! He never friended me so I reached out to Kyle and he told me "my Dad doesn't do Face Book that much" lol!!! All in all, Mr. Alexander is the type of man you invite to everything!!! Every party!!! Every BBQ!!! Everything!!!! Because being around him made you feel like family!!!! Thank you sir for giving me something to look forward to. That's how to be great man!!!! You ARE the example and standard for all of us Mr. Alexander!!!!

With Luv, Lee R. Williams lll
