Curtis Gibb, 62, of Sweet Home, Oregon passed away peacefully in his home, Tuesday, December 1st.

He was born in Cascadia, Oregon to Richard and Della (Cowitz) Gibb. Through the years, Curt thought of both Oregon and Alaska as home.

He attended college in Susanville, California where he trained in Power House Operations for a job in Alaska. In the 1990s, he became disabled from a mill accident. At that time, he returned to Sweet Home to farm and manage rental properties.

Curt married Karen Lee, the love of his life, in 2004. He enjoyed spending time with his step-children, step-grandchildren, and friends. From the time he was a young boy, he loved to hunt, fish, and explore the woods. He was a giant of a man with a generous spirit, with an optimistic outlook, and with a talent for storytelling. He will be greatly missed.

He is survived by: his wife, Karen Lee; step-daughter, Rhianon Lee; step-son, Cody Davenport, and his wife, Haeli; grandsons, Lucas and Ryan Victor; granddaughters, Layla and Chloe Davenport; brother, Michael Gibb, and his wife, Connie; and sister, Pat Watkins.

Curt believed in the Lord Jesus and he is home now. A celebration of life will be held at Cascadia Community Chapel, 360 Santiam Highway, Cascadia, Oregon on January 16, at 11:00 AM. Potluck will follow immediately afterwards.

Sweet Home Funeral Chapel is handling the arrangements.
