Curtis Strahan Jr.

In the uplifting spirit that embodied the life of Curtis Strahan Jr., we remember a man who was as ambitious as he was compassionate. Born on August 14th, 1984, in Nacogdoches, Texas, Curtis, affectionately known to many as Too Tall or Curt Da Wert, made a remarkable impact on those around him with his adventurous spirit and smart wit. His love for life was evident in his diverse hobbies; from fishing to wrestling, video gaming to drawing, and even crocheting, Curtis embraced every moment with enthusiasm and passion.

Curtis was an attendant by profession, a caregiver in every sense of the word. For 20 years, he dedicated his life to caring for others, a testament to his innate kindness and empathy. His most cherished achievement was looking after his beloved mother, Karie Strahan. Curtis's compassion extended beyond his immediate family; he had a heart for those less fortunate, often buying food for the homeless, and he had a profound love for animals, particularly dogs. Rooted in his Christian faith, Curtis embodied the words of Proverbs 19:17, "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done."

Curtis lived in Austin, Texas at the time of his passing, but his influence touched many far beyond his residence. He is survived by his parents, Karie Strahan and Curtis M. Strahan, brother Jeff Strahan, and step-father Robert Aaron. Those who knew Curtis were blessed by his presence, and his memory will continue to inspire all who were fortunate to know him. The family invites you to join them for a public visitation at King-Tears Mortuary on Friday, 23 Jan 2026 at 8:00am MST. The interment will take place later that day at Travis County Wells School Road Cemetery at 11:00am CST.

In remembering Curtis, let us carry forward his compassionate spirit and love for adventure. We encourage you to share your memories and upload photos of Curtis to the memorial page. As we celebrate his life, let us remember the joy, kindness, and love he brought into our lives.
