Camping Trip - 2007

This online memorial was created in loving memory of Curtis Matthew Elsey, whose life story is told throughout this memorial website. Please sign Curtis's guest book and let us know you came to visit. We will remember Curtis forever.

Curtis Matthew was our baby, he has one brother, Anthony, and one sister, Sarah.  He has 4 half brothers, Dean, Rodney, Ray and Rocky.   Curtis was between girlfriends, and his best friend was Josh Chellette.   He loved to fish, hunt, camp and ride 4 wheelers.  He left us that Saturday in July when he hit a pickup head on when he was riding the 4 wheeler.  One week before his 19th birthday.  We love him and miss him forever.

Curtis - Spring 2007

Gone are the days we used to share,

but in our hearts you are always there,

The gates of memory will never close,

we miss you more than anyone knows,

With tender love and deep regret,

we who love you will never forget.

Curtis - Easter 2005

May you always walk in the sunshine

and may God's love around you flow,

For the happiness you gave us,

no one will ever know.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

but you did not go alone,

A part of us went with you,

the day God took you home.

A million times we've cried.

If love could have saved you,

you never would have died.

Curtis' first deer

Curtis killed his first deer in the fall of 2006.  He was so proud of his "big" buck.  He always did everything the very best he could, whether it was soccer, skateboarding, or his job.  He was a hard act to follow.

Curtis, Sarah, Anthony and Josh

Curtis' most important friends were his brother Anthony, sister Sarah and Josh.  They all lived together and got along good.  Curtis was the clown, but he learned that from Anthony.

Curtis' pit Mazy "Baby Girl"

Curtis loved Mazy so much and she loved Curtis.  He took her to work with him so she wouldn't have to stay home by herself.  He bought her double cheeseburgers from McDonald's.  She was so lost when he didn't come home.

August 14, 2008 Curtis, today is your bub's birthday, I will cook him a dinner and I've already made him a cheesecake.  I wish you were here to be there for dinner.  Without you there is such a deep sadness, no happiness (no wrestling) like there used to be.  I love you and miss you so much. Mama
