Justin Tanner Curtis

Justin Tanner Curtis, 40, of Sugar Grove, was welcomed into the arms of Jesus on Tuesday, May 2, 2023 after an unexpected accident. A loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend, Justin was born on October 15, 1982 in Warren, Pa to Jay and Julie (Phillips) Curtis. Justin is survived by his wife, Amber (Ristau) Curtis, whom he married on June 18, 2011; children, Kinley (11), Leyton (9), and Landry (7); parents, Jay and Julie Curtis of Sugar Grove; brothers, Jayson (Kalee) Curtis, Jacoby (Elizabeth) Curtis and Jameson (Chelsea) Curtis all of Warren; paternal grandmother, Dorothy Curtis of Sugar Grove; and eight nieces and nephews. Justin was a 2001 graduate of Eisenhower High School and went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management and Marketing from Penn State Altoona. He then began working in the family business, Curtis Oil, where he took great pride in his role. He was an exceptional father and husband and his world revolved around his family. When he wasn’t working hard to provide for his family, his favorite pass times were spending quality time with family and friends – camping, hunting and being outdoors. He was an active member of Echo Valley Houndsmen Coyote Group. Justin had a vibrant personality that could light up any room and was dearly loved by many. No one can forget his genuine smile, long hugs, heartfelt conversations and great sense of humor. He went out of his way to make others smile and feel loved. Justin is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Willis and Marjorie Phillips; and paternal grandfather, Bud Curtis and uncle, Todd Curtis.
