Curtis Oneal Duncan, age 92, of Harvest, Alabama, passed away on August 13, 2026. Born on September 12, 1933, in Highland Home, Alabama, to Moses and Callie Duncan. Curtis lived a full and beautiful life marked by love, faith, and an unwavering dedication to the people around him.

Curtis attended Alabama Christian College, where he laid the foundation for a life defined by purpose and service. He went on to build a distinguished career with Liberty National Insurance Company, where he worked faithfully for 31 years. A true southern gentleman, Curtis was known for his honesty, his humility, and his sweet, kind spirit. He had a way of making people feel valued, and he never missed a chance to offer encouragement or lend a helping hand.

Curtis was a man of many talents and boundless energy. He loved sports and stayed active throughout his life, playing basketball, tennis, and competing on a senior softball team. His competitive spirit carried him to the Senior Olympics, where he earned Gold Medals in basketball, track and field events, and, perhaps most charmingly, checkers. He was also a gifted musician who played the fiddle, the guitar, the banjo, the mandolin, the harmonica, and the piano. His passion for poetry ran deep; he memorized over 50 poems and delighted in reciting them to family and friends. He penned many poems and songs of his own, including songs that were sung at his children's weddings. And he never tired of telling a good corny joke, always with a twinkle in his eye.

Above all, Curtis was a devoted man of God. He was a faithful member of the Lord's Church, where he preached many sermons and taught countless Bible classes. He studied the Bible daily and had an unshakeable zeal for sharing the Gospel at every opportunity. He prayed the most beautiful prayers. Curtis was a dedicated child of God who served with all of his heart, soul, and mind, and his deepest desire was to spend eternity in Heaven. He was a godly example to many, and his servant's heart touched lives in ways that will be felt for generations.

Curtis is survived by the love of his life, Joyce, and together they shared an extraordinary 71 years of marriage. He was a loving father to his son, Brent (Sharon); his three daughters, Donna Duncan, Kathy (Stephen) Parker, and Sonja (Kevin) Pierce; 6 grandchildren, Chrystalle aka Shonnie, Brittany, Zachary, Dane, Wesly, and Mallery; and 7 great-grandchildren.

One of his greatest joys was spending time with his family who deeply loved him. While his family and friends will miss his jokes, his poems, his music and his gentle spirit, they take comfort in knowing that he has gained the eternal reward he faithfully sought throughout his life.
