Curtis Eugene Land

Curtis Eugene Land, a cherished figure known for his loving kindness and friendly demeanor, passed away on May 24, 2024, in Newburgh , IN. Born in Oaktown, IN, on March 24, 1959, Curtis’s life journey was one marked by simplicity, joy, and the pleasures of the great outdoors.

After high school, Curtis dedicated himself to a hardworking life and retired after many years in the coal hauling industry. His love for the earth's natural gifts was evident in his favorite pastimes—whether he was deer hunting, fishing, or simply being outside. Curtis found solace and joy in the cultivation of his garden, and he took immense pride in both tending to and mowing it with great care.

He was a family man at heart, and his legacy survives through his beloved daughter Jasmine Scott (Justin Lewis). The joy of his life extended to his grandchildren Kia Moore (Piper Nacke), Kierra Lewis (Shane Tallman), and Allyson Lewis, and his great-granddaughter, Aspyn Tallman, who will cherish memories of their kind-hearted patriarch. Curtis’s brother, Kerry Land (Sharon), sisters-in-law Dana Churchill and Lisa Sanders, his loyal dog Lucky, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and friends, will remember his gentle spirit.

Special gratitude is due to devoted friends Gary Mullins and Rachel Barr, who provided unwavering support and care throughout his life. Curtis was preceded in death by his companion of 40 years, Kim Faith, and his parents Robert “Spatsy” Land and Dottie Jo Land.

Curtis Eugene Land’s essence was a blend of resilience, tenderness, and friendship. He leaves behind a legacy of love, depicted in his life's simple pleasures and the warmth he extended to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
