Curtis Lee Massey

LIFE REFLECTIONS OF CURTIS MASSEY May 19, 1946, was a beautiful day in Nicholas, Georgia. The Lord decided that this would be the day that He would bless Willie Frank Massey Sr. and Emma Lee with their third addition to their growing family. This blessing was a son to add to the already boy and girl they had. They would name him Curtis Lee Massey. Curtis was a loving sensitive child who quickly learned to make his own space in the family. He was the source of many joyous happy moments for his parents and extended family: Early in Curtis life the family relocated to Pompano Beach, Florida in 1950. Curtis attended the public schools there and was a member of the Blanche Ely Class of 1964. While attending Blanche Ely he grew to love classical music. He began to practice playing the Viola, similar to the Violin, under the tutelage of the band teacher Mr. A. Pinkston. He also liked to read and play basketball. He became a member of a neighborhood basketball team called the Net Burners (smile). Around the age of fifteen Curtis was stricken with a disability that caused him to be relocated to the far Southwest portion of Broward County. At the facility there, he grew to young adulthood and studied hard to earn his High School Diploma. As a facility Administrator so proudly stated, Mr. Massey earned this diploma it was not given to him. As years roll by Curtis began to reflect on his upbringing regarding God and his teaching from Sunday School. He frequently questioned the scriptures and asked for understanding about them. He expressed his relationship with God and his belief in who Jesus is in his life. Then in April 2024, Curtis confirmed his belief and made this confession to God. On May 4, 2024 at 8:40pm Curtis was called home. He went peacefully and quietly as was his demeanor throughout most of his life. He will be greatly missed. Siblings that answered their call before him were Willie Frank Massey, Jr, Jimmy Lee Massey and Agnes Amy Massey. Siblings left to cherish his precious memories are Winnie Vee Massey Smith, Willie Jean Massey Patterson, Bishop Alfred Butler(Eloise) Reverend James Lester Massey(Elizabeth), Charles Edward Massey, Easton Massey(Evon), Frankie Lois Massey Parsons, Sandra Louise Massey Gates(James). Sisters-in-laws Winifred Massey and Karen Massey and a host of Nieces, Nephews, Cousins and Friends.
