Honoring the Life of Curlin Ford

Donation protected

Dear Family and Friends,

It is with a heavy heart and deep sorrow that I share the news of the passing of our beloved Uncle, Friend, and Brother, Curlin Ford. At 83 years old, Curlin has completed his earthly journey after a long and courageous battle with his health. He passed peacefully, surrounded by love, and now rests in eternal peace.

Curlin faced many health challenges over the years with strength and grace. He bravely fought colon cancer, lived with a colostomy bag for 15 years, and endured countless hospital visits. In his final days, he was placed on life support, unable to breathe on his own. Though doctors did all they could, his body was tired and the time came for him to be called home.

As we begin the heartbreaking task of laying Curlin to rest, we are asking for help from our extended circle of family, friends, and kind-hearted supporters. We estimate that funeral costs will total $10,000, and unfortunately, our family is not in a financial position to cover these expenses on our own.

This is not an easy request to make, but any amount no matter how small would be deeply appreciated. Your donation will go directly toward Curlin’s funeral and final arrangements, helping us give him the dignified farewell he so deserves. If you are unable to give, sharing this page with others is also a powerful way to support.

Curlin was a true patriarch in our family a man of resilience, love, and quiet wisdom. He leaves behind a legacy of strength and compassion that we will carry in our hearts forever.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, for giving, and for standing with us during this incredibly painful time. Your kindness means more than words can express.

With love and gratitude.
