Curtis Stone Sr., 78, a retired truck driver from Memphis, TN, passed away peacefully on May 28, 2024, after a brief illness.
Born to the late Alice Stone and the late Henry Wright Sr., Curtis leaves behind his two brothers, Charles Stone and DeWitt Stone. Together, they embodied genuine camaraderie, exemplifying the true spirit of brotherhood.
In addition to his brothers, Curtis is survived by his sister, Debbie "Debra" Rooks, and a large and loving family. He is warmly remembered by his three sons, Curtis Joyner, Curtis C. Stone Jr. (Lisa), and Charles D. Stone; and his five daughters, Rose "Punch" Childs, Alicia Stone, Robyn R.S. Jonston (Amy), Michelle Jones, and Angela D. Stone. His legacy extends to his 15 grandchildren: Christian, Christopher, Dominic, Jessica, Bridgette, Malcolm, Linnette, Sierra, Candis, Pierce, Chartier, Chardonnay, Cherilynn, Charlayna, and Chantelle.
Beyond his immediate family, Curtis leaves behind a vast network of relatives and friends who will treasure memories of their time together, especially the spirited Spades card games that brought them together. He was known for his charm and active involvement in the Orange Mound Community and the Melrose High School Alumni Association, both of which held a special place in his heart. Curtis also enjoyed spending time with his family, cheering for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
A celebration of Curtis's life will be held on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at New Sardis MB Church, where he faithfully served as a member and Sunday School teacher, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him.
