Curtis was born on April 12, 1935, to John and Mamie (Anderson) Theis in Buckman, where he spent his childhood on the family farm. Growing up, he learned the value of hard work early on, taking on farm chores and developing a love for farming. After graduating from Pierz High School in 1955, he dedicated his life to farming. He won many awards for his cattle, including best in state.

Curtis enjoyed fishing and hunting, but his true passion was always farming. He was a man of faith, perfectly balancing hard work with a spirit of community service. His long-standing commitment to the Knights of Columbus was a testament to his dedication to faith and fellowship. His friends and family remember him as a hard worker, a faithful Christian, and an all-around great guy.

Left to cherish his memory are his brother, James Theis of Buckman; sister, Ruth (Wilfred) Bollig of St. Cloud; and many nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents, John and Mamie Theis; brothers, Bill Theis, Peter Theis, Ted Theis, Joe Theis, Frank Theis, and Charles Theis; sisters, Regina Heid, Anna Lubich, Alice Przybilla, Frances Sahr, Christine Kirkeby, and Mary Alford.
