Finding words to express our deepest sympathy since losing Curtis is difficult, but know we care so much for him and your family. We enjoyed the time we spent with Curtis through the years. We will miss our fun outings and regular dinner dates as couples. Curtis was funny and could talk with anyone. It’s been a tough 6 years, but we are glad we were part of his life journey. We will miss Curtis dearly, but I am sure he is joking with his loved ones in Heaven. Remember the good times you shared! Praying for peace and healing.
I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Praying for peace, comfort and healing to you.
So sorry for your loss. Praying for God’s peace to comfort you and His presence to see you through the days ahead, and remind he will never let you walk alone, in Jesus’ name, amen.
Rest in Peace sweet Uncle. I love you.
We are truly saddened by the loss of our friend Curtis. He gave our family such great opportunities and memories ! We think of him everytime we go to Table Rock Lake. I pray that all of your happy memories with him will soon replace your grief. Much love.
It’s so hard to say goodbye to our friend of 50 some years.
Our times of camping and boating, vacations, K-State games and dinner/movie nights all meant so much to us.
Curtis never knew a stranger.
His humor expressed his love for friends and life. We will miss you Curtis ❤️
Rest in peace Curtis.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Schuckman family. Curtis Schuckman was one of the most honorable men and mentors I was lucky enough to meet and work with. I learned a lot from him! He will forever be in my heart, work method and dad jokes.
Dear Susan, I am so sorry for your loss. May you find peace and comfort in the coming days ahead. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless you and your family!
Sincerely,
Judy Cooper
God Speed dear cousin and wonderful friend! I will always remember the great, fun times we had growing up. We laughed at everything back then, great times. Love you, man.
Steve and I have known Curtis since the late 90’s when Timberline Landscaping started working at our house and office. Curtis was so friendly, witty, knowledgeable, and professional. He was a great storyteller who loved his family, his dogs (Hailey was one) as well as his clients. Curtis was a great role model to Cory and Kyle. Both sons share his moral and work ethic. Curtis will be dearly missed by many but at least his is out of pain and in good hands. God bless and prayers to his family.
I love you Curtis. See you in heaven. 🥲
Curtis, my brother, my friend. I am so blessed to have you as my brother. I had 5 brothers – one was my father -brother he was oldest and helped take care of me, he died. Curtis was my friend-brother, same class different school. Sometimes those 2 years difference between us would seem so great and other times we would be doing the exact same things with the same group of friends. I liked when St. Mikes played La Crosse Public in sports. I would be cheering for the best-looking guy on the other team – my brother Curtis. I liked how my daughter got to be your flower girl. Colburn was included with your boys and some people thought he was one of the twin boys. I will miss how these last couple of years, whenever we got together, we spent so many hours talking. We sat together because we both had physical limitations. I will miss you so much. Now our baby brother, Chad, will need to fill that empty space that your leaving left.
Please give Colburn a hug from his mom.
Dear Susan,
I’m so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and yours. Please take some quiet moments to care for yourself in this difficult time.
