BRIDGEPORT — Mr. James M. Curtis, 81, of Bridgeport, WV, passed away on Thursday, April 16, 2015, at the United Hospital Center in Bridgeport, WV.
He is survived by his wife, Betty Bunner Curtis. They had celebrated 61 years of marriage. He is also survived by three children, Tim Curtis and his wife Roseann of Bridgeport, WV, Patty Nuzum and her husband Don of Bridgeport, WV, and John Curtis and his wife Robin of Bridgeport, WV; grandchildren, Jamie Curtis, Jeremie Curtis, Jessica Peterman, Curtis Nuzum and Erika Curtis; six great grandchildren, Wyatt, Abby, Ella, Kiley, Anthony and Brycen; six stepgreat-grandchildren; two nieces, Karen Braun and husband Bobbie and Mary Ann Curtis; and a first cousin that was more like a sister, Carol Ann Long.
He was also preceded in death by a brother, Richard.
Jim worked as a painter in the community for Dave Pritchard Painting and later was self-employed. He was United Methodist by faith.
His life was his family. Jim was an avid outdoorsman. He could spend endless hours on the river bank fishing. He was always eager for the first day of deer season. There was not a bigger Mountaineer football and basketball fan or Pittsburgh Pirates fan.
The family requests donations be made in Jim’s memory to the National Kidney Foundation, 30 East 33rd Street, New York, New York 10016.
Friends will be received at the Ford Funeral Home, 215 East Main Street, Bridgeport, WV, on Sunday from 2–8 p.m. The funeral service will be celebrated in the funeral home on Monday, April 20, 2015, at 11 a.m. with Reverend Dr. Ken A. Ramsey presiding. The interment will follow in the Heavener Cemetery, Buckhannon, WV.
