Curtis Easterwood

BUHL, Ala. -- Curtis Easterwood, 57, of Buhl passed away Tuesday, March 26, 2019, in Cape Girardeau, after a valiant battle with cancer.

He was born June 23, 1961, in Anniston, Alabama, the son of the late Paul and Willette Andrews Easterwood. He married Bonnie Hix.

Curtis graduated from Tuscaloosa (Alabama) High School and went to work in the construction trades. He worked on many different projects throughout Alabama before joining Berkel Construction in 2001. His job as a foreman for Berkel took him all over the country. One such job brought him to Cape Girardeau, where he worked at the Procter & Gamble plant, pouring footings for the expansion of the paper towel line. While there he met the love of his life, Bonnie, and they were married March 5, 2002, in Louisville, Kentucky.

Curtis will always be remembered by his family and friends as a man with a heart of gold. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and brother. His special joy was riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Loving survivors include his wife, Bonnie Easterwood; three sons, Justin (Jerrica) Easterwood of Monticello, Arkansas, Bradley (Paula Joann) Easterwood of Holt, Alabama, and Dave Cline of Cape Girardeau; two daughters, Jessica Hall of San Antonio and Shantel Steffens of Duquoin, Illinois; three sisters, Paula (Carl) Haynes of Northport, Alabama, Jackie Baisden (Lee) of Buhl and Linda Langston (Jimmy) of Clanton, Alabama. Also surviving are 12 grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Randy Easterwood; and a nephew, Jeremy Baisden.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Joy Cline and Paula Keller for all of their love, kindness and support throughout this difficult time.

Friends may call from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday at McCombs Funeral Home in Cape Girardeau.

Funeral will be at 1 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home, with the Rev. Wavis Jordan officiating. Interment will follow in Russell Heights Cemetery in Jackson.
