‘Curtis loved his family, loved his community and worked hard to establish businesses to uplift people physically and spiritually. ‘We appeal to the community’s morals, values and integrity to stand for justice and to stop the violence that is happening far too frequently.
‘We, Curtis’s family, are all devastated and heartbroken and will never be the same, having to live without such a vibrant, inspirational, loving person in our lives will be torture.’. Jrone Green, Curtis’s brother, said his brother was ‘very extroverted and artistic’, adding he came from a ‘very close knit family’.
