Curtis Eugene Wilson
Sunrise: July 22, 1962
Curtis was born July 22, 1962 in Evansville IN to David McKnight and Jackie Wilson(Charles Turpin).
Curtis graduated from Reitz High School. Worked for the University of Evansville for 10 years and was currently employed by Republic Waste for an additional twenty years. Curtis was never a strange to anyone he came in contact with. He loved to spend time with his family and friends, hosting family cookouts and block parties. He was a fantastic mechanic, loved to lift weights and challenged others to his strength. Everyone knew him as the man walking the streets pushing the big tractor tire from one end of the city to the other. His prized possession was his Honda 1800 motorcycle. P.S. Linwood will not be the same without him.
