Celebrating The Life of
Luther Gene Curry, Jr.
His Start
Luther Gene Curry Jr, affectionately known as Brother Luther, was born on December 23, 1951 to
Vera Kidd and Luther Gene Curry Sr. He was the youngest of two siblings.
Born and raised in Ennis Texas he was a graduate of Ennis Junior High where he went on to be a
Master Mechanic. Once leaving his hometown, Luther resided in Fort Worth TX where he met his
ex-wife Maggie Marie Willis. His Father, Mother and Brother proceeded him in death.
His Faith
In 2001 Brother Luther joined Dayspring Family Church in Irving Texas, under the pastorate of Bishop Kevin Dickerson. For the majority of that time he served as Maintenance Manager for the church buildings where
the staff loved him and enjoyed working with him.
He was indispensable, and seemed to know how to fix anything, and everything. He often shared his
testimony of how much he loved God and how God had changed his life and brought him through some
very difficult times. He was quick to apologize and quick to forgive.
He served on the Usher Board, Men of Valor Men’s Ministry, Thanksgiving Outreach, Church Picnic,
and any other church auxiliary that needed help. His kind attitude, contagious smile, and witty personality
made him the favorite of many. He will truly be missed.
His Service
Brother Luther willingly used his expertise as a Master Mechanic to help countless people with their car
Repairs, often charging very little or nothing. It didn’t matter the make of the car he would willingly tackle
the problem in order to help anyone in need. And he didn’t only fix cars, but would go to the homes of
those who asked and do repairs and maintenance for them, as well as at commercial buildings.
His Legacy
Brother Luther truly loved his daughters and spoke of them with pride as he shared their successful
careers. He loved his grandchildren, celebrating their accomplishments and was totally overjoyed by
the arrival of the two great grandchildren,
Cherishing his memory, he leaves behind his eldest Daugther Audra Curry-Simmons (Michael Simmons)
and youngest daughter Antronette (Nett) Curry-Thompson (Vol Thompson).
Three grandchildren Jaztin Watkins, Jamarious Lewis, and Damian Thompson, and two
great grandchildren, Zane Watkins and Zeana Watkins. He also leaves a special friend, Toni;
and a host of cousins, extended family, and the members of Dayspring Family Church.
