Curtis was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina on November 16, 1970. He enjoyed playing football from an early age in life and he also did “shot put” and “discus throwing” in high school in Vicenza, Italy while attending Vicenza American High School from 1986-1989. Upon returning to the United States, he attended Kendrick High School in Columbus, Georgia where he continued playing football and his team went on to win the state championship for the year of 1990. He went into the US Army immediately after High School graduation in 1990 and served his country for 10 years. Upon getting out of the US Army he relocated home to Phenix City, Alabama and began working at Wal-Mart Distribution Center in Opelika, Alabama. He moved on from that job to become an over the road driver in 2006-2008 with US Express and then transferred to Heartland Express in 2008 where he worked until the day he was called eternal home.

He was preceded in death by his mother Naomi Herron; nephew DeMarkus Herron, his grandparents Harvey L. Herron Sr. and Sarah Herron.
