Curtis Albert Smith, Jr., affectionately known as Stevie or Steve, was born on May 18, 1960, in Winchester, Virginia. He passed away on March 3, 2025, at Fair Oaks Hospital. A devoted husband, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend, Curtis touched the lives of many with his gentle spirit, unwavering kindness, and deep love for his family and friends.

Curtis accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior at a young age and became a devoted member of Willisville Chapel United Methodist Church.  He served in many positions including worship leader, choir member, president of the UM Men, vice-chair of Trustees, as well as in other capacities.  He attended church faithfully until his health no longer allowed it.  Curtis had a calm and quiet demeanor.  Although he was laid back, he was a lot of fun. Curtis' "happy place" was being outdoors. He loved to get the yard ready for family cookouts and equally enjoyed telling his family when it was time to go home. That made everyone just laugh. He had a huge heart, loved helping others and would do anything for anybody. He was the ultimate problem solver. If he didn't know how to do something, he would go to YouTube and get the job done.

Routine was a cornerstone of Curtis' life. Most mornings started with cheerios, a banana, and two slices of bacon. Dinner was prompted at 6:30 p.m. followed by evening TV time with his wife, enjoying their Monday-through-Friday lineup of shows. During football season, Saturdays were reserved for college football and Sundays were dedicated to NFL games.  He proudly sported his LA Raiders gear, often sparking conversations with fellow football fans.

After completing his education at Loudoun Valley High School in 1978, Curtis matriculated at Norfolk State University, where he earned a B. S. degree in General Business. He dedicated 39 years to a combination of millwork and home construction before retiring.  Retirement didn't slow him down, he found joy working part-time at a private golf course, his second "happy place." Curtis was a passionate golfer and spent as much time playing as possible.

He leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories captured in the hearts of his beloved family.  Curtis is survived by his loving wife Charity Lee Boone Smith (Centreville, VA); sister, Gwendolyn E. (Martin) Little (Alexandria, VA); brother, Albert (special friend Tina Ewell) Smith (Middleburg, VA); aunt, Madeline Banks (Berryville, VA) and Joyce Banks (Millwood, VA); nieces, Jaylene Little, Charity Thomas; great nephew, Craig Thomas; mother-in-law, Ernestine Boone; sister-in-law, Patricia Thomas, and many cousins and friends.

Curtis was preceded in death by his parents, the late Curtis Albert Smith, Sr. and Bernice E. Smith, as well as nephew, Martin Little, Jr.
