Obituary for Michael Curtis
CURTIS, Michael Anthony, 57, of Louisville, passed away August 28, 2015 in his home.
He was born to the late Ann and Bill Curtis, August 13, 1958 in Louisville, Kentucky. Mike graduated from Fairdale High School in 1976 and received a Masters in Electrical Engineering from the University of Louisville Speed Scientific School in 1982. He married Pamela Nessle Curtis and they were married for 25 years.
Michael was an electrical engineer and computer technician for most of his life. Prior to his death, he was pursuing his Doctorate Thesis at the University of Louisville. He worked for the Naval Ordnance Station as an Engineer on the Phalanx CIWS in defense of our nation. Ever the ingenious tinkerer, he was fascinated by anything, whether it be the insides of a computer tower or a LEGO playset. He was self-employed and worked from home in order to care for his family. His two sons, Jake and Jeff, were beloved by him, proudly and fully. Mike loved to watch them grow up, flourish and shine in their individual and creative talents. He would do absolutely anything to make them happy.
In addition to his interests in science, engineering and technology, Michael was incredibly intrigued by astronomy, exercise, and sports. He loved watching football (Steelers fan), The Simpsons, and no one had a laugh as big and full as his. Always a goofball, he was one to make you smile and keep you engaged in spirited conversation. He never met a stranger. Michael loved animals and kept cats for most of his life. He loved his cat, Pandora, and she was known to follow him throughout their house wherever he went, purring all the way. He did love, was loved and will be forever missed. He lives on through his family and loved ones.
Michael is survived by two children, Jake and Jeff Curtis of Louisville; and his brother, Doug Curtis of Louisville.
His visitation will be from 12-7pm on Wednesday, September 2, 2015 at Highlands Funeral Home, 3331 Taylorsville Road. A private entombment will be held at Resthaven Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Humane Society of Louisville. Michael adopted his first cat from the Humane Society for five dollars.
