Mr. Morris (and Mrs. Morris too), thank you for being one of the very best role models for your children as well as the thousands of students you positively impacted through your exceptional career as an educator and coach. Thank you also for allowing me to serve as your student teacher during the second semester of the 2004-05 school year. I think about the invaluable lessons you taught me each day. You always put the needs of your students ahead of your own and you constantly pushed each one of them to help become the very best version of themselves. Your dedication, compassion and love for everyone blessed to be around you will forever serve as an excellent example for all of us to follow.
You always put your Faith and your Family at the top of your priority list. My Dad and Mom were thrilled when you graciously accepted their offer to participate in the Gospel Reflections at St. James Catholic Church together…your insight and comments made the group’s endeavors more meaningful and influential.
My family and I tremendously enjoyed watching you play drums in your band at numerous venues around Lancaster County.
Mr. Morris, thank you for all the quality time you spent with me (even though Tyler and Madison were young at that time). I LOVED coming over to your house to watch history-rated movies and NFL games (who would have thought that a die-hard Eagles fan and a die-hard Cowboys fan could become such close friends?!) as well as attending presentations/speeches when historians would come to town (Millersville University and Messiah University).
Every time I see a Snickers candy bar, I always smile and thinking fondly of you….you are the only person I have ever know to have the ability to snap/break a Snickers bar in half on their thigh (ala Bo Jackson snapping his baseball bat over his thigh as if it were a toothpick)!!
Your family, led by your amazing wife, and your children and everyone you impacted will continue to live out the values and morals you so faithfully showed on a daily basis.
I know you and my Dad are together in Heaven, free from pain, smiling and giving everyone giant bear-huys.
Thank you for being such a good role model and friend. I will always look up to you.
I love you, Mr. Morris. See you soon, my brother.

It was a pleasure and an honor to play with Curt in The Crosswalk Band circa 2003 to 2004.  He always was so encouraging and had a great sense of humor.  In August 2006, Curt invited me to his home to have supper with his lovely family before we both drove to The Harrisburg Hilton for an incredible Dave Weckl Band concert.  And since we were both history buffs, book recommendations and discussions would ensue in a lively manner.  When I was going through a rough patch in my life, Curt was there to listen and offer Christian advice.  I’m so grateful that the Lord allowed me to play a series of concerts from June to November 2017 for Curt when he was at United Zion.  Thank you for the memories, brother, and for your many talents.  You will forever be in my heart, thoughts, and prayers.

Sandy, Tyler, and Madi,
Your family has walked an incredibly difficult journey, and you have all demonstrated such patience, grace, and faith in every step.  My heart is with all of you as you navigate these next steps, the mingled relief yet the space that Curt’s lack of physical presence leaves.  May you continue to feel the presence, peace, and love of God in every moment.  My heart and prayers are with all of you!!  Love, Sharon Wilson (and family)

I have so many great memories of drummer Kurt as we played together in “The Following” regionally at youth rallies and retreats, the Creation ’95 Festival and we even had 3 songs played often on WJTL. I will always picture him in his white muscle shirt playing with such great focus, intensity and love. He had a real heart for serving and changing lives through his teaching as well. He was very passionate about all that he did and will be sorely missed.

The blessed freedom of release from our bodies into the presence of Christ is something to celebrate for those who follow Jesus. Praise God for Curt’s testimony of faith in Jesus! “Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death where is your sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:54b-55) Curt is celebrating his victory through the shed blood of his Savior. Lifting the family up in prayer as you remember the life of a faithful man.

Oh Sandy, 
So sorry to hear of Curt’s passing. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time for support or just to talk. You were very supportive of my recent loss. Thank You.
 
Peter Sahd introduced Kurt to our small prayer group many years ago. I have prayed for Curt, you and your family for years. My prayers will continue in this difficult time of adjustment. Stay positive. Curt’s love and memories will live on forever in your heart.

Sam, We were sorry to hear of Curt’s passing but thankful to know that he is with the Lord & back to being the Curt we all knew & loved. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Curt, whether it was going to Eagles games, driving to Cincinnati to watch the Reds play the Phillies or just visiting with both you & Curt for dinner & playing cards. He was an absolute wonderful person. This world is not a better place without him. He will be missed. We will be praying for you & your kids as the 3 of you move forward. Brian & Robin Hickey

It was a pleasure to have Curt instruct my children in school. They had wonderful memories of him. It was an honor to serve Curt and his family as a caregiver during his time at UZ. His sense of humor was present even when his words were not. His smile was infectious and his laugh ever present.  May the family find peace in their loss as he is now free from Alzheimer’s.

Sandy, Tyler and Madison,
So very sorry for the loss of your husband and father.  He was a great teacher and mentor to so many as well as a wonderful husband and father.  His pain is now gone.  Remember him with joy, laughter and love; that is the way he would want you to remember him.

Mr. Morris, Tyler and Madi~ I am very sorry for loss of your husband and dad. Mr. Morris was absolutely the best teacher hands down. He helped through a very rough patch in my life. Always a support, always funny and always so caring. My prayers and sympathy are with you all during this difficult time. May he rest in our Lord’s arms pain free. And we know we will one day see him again. Mr. Morris sing and dance and rejoice with our savior. You will forever be remembered and missed a lot.

My condolences to Sandy and Curt’s family. I came to know Curt when he taught at what was then York County Vo-Tech. I was the department chair of the Social Studies Department and Curt was a valued member of the department. We became good friends as we rode back and forth to work for awhile. He was well liked by both the faculty, staff, and the students. He will be missed!

Sandy, Tyler & Madison,
I really enjoyed getting to know Curt during the travel baseball seasons when Tyler & Zac played on the same team! I remember him always being there with his camera capturing priceless moments of the team! I also enjoyed talking about our love of music during our time waiting for practices to end. My thoughts & prayers go out to you, your family & everyone who Curt impacted during his time here on earth! He will be deeply missed. I am also glad that his suffering has come to an end and he is now with our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ!
Love & Peace be with you all!
