Born Jan. 28, 1948, in Floyd County, Ky., Curtis was the son of Earl Campbell and Ethel Ousley Sparks. He was united in marriage to Starla Lamb on Sept. 24, 1988, in Warsaw.

He was a graduate of Martin High School, Martin, Ky. He retired in 2020 as a machinist for Zimmer Biomet with 15 years of service and was a former supervisor for O.E.C. Dynamics.
