He was a devoted husband, proud father, esteemed veteran, and cherished family member whose memory will forever be held dear.

Curtis, born on May 1, 1940, Jackson County, FL, was the beloved husband of Sandra Wyer Hinson for 62 years.

In addition to his dedication to his wife, Curt was a respected veteran who served his country in the Army for 22 years, retiring as a Master Sergeant. With two tours in Vietnam, he displayed immense courage and commitment throughout his military career, leaving a lasting impact on those who served alongside him.

He will be lovingly remembered by his eight grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren, as well as his sisters, Mae Jackson of Dothan, Barbara Deese (W. J.) of Cottonwood, and Gurtha Murphy of Dansbury, N. C. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.

Curtis is preceded in death by his son, Donald Hinson of Newport News, VA, and his sisters, Vernell Brookins, Sara Galloway, Johnnie McComb, Jean Conrad, Betty Branton, and his brothers, Truman Hinson and Dorman Hinson.
