Lexington Clipper-Herald June 2, 2010
Curtis Gill, age 72, of Cozad, died May 29, 2010 at the Good Samaritan 
Hospital in Kearney. 
 
Services will be held on Wednesday, June 2, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. at the Berryman 
Funeral Home in Cozad with the Rev. Jaime Farias of Parkview United Methodist 
Church officiating. Burial will be in the Cozad Cemetery. 

Visitation will be from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 1, 2010 at the 
Berryman Funeral Home in Cozad.

Curtis was born Jan. 19, 1938 at Lexington to Vernon and Beulah (Weaver) 
Gill.  He attended rural school in the Cozad area and graduated from Cozad 
High School in 1955.

On May 25, 1957 Curtis married Dolores Jenkins.  The couple made their home in 
Cozad until the early 1960s, when they decided to move to the Gill family 
farmstead, where Curtis had been raised, northeast of Cozad.  Their union was 
blessed with three children, Lori, Kim and Kevin.  Curtis farmed until the 
early 1980s, when he began trucking.  Eventually, he came to work for Hi-Gain 
Feedlot, a job he continued until his retirement in the late 1990s. 
 
Curtis loved to socialize.  He enjoyed having coffee and sharing stories with 
his friends, which he did often, until his health wouldn’t permit.  Curtis 
especially loved his family; and attended all of his grandchildren’s special 
events.

Curtis had a special talent for hand crafting art.  He was particularly 
skilled with clay, paint and wood.  He had a special ability to use his 
artistry to illustrate what was on his mind, regardless of the materials that 
he was using. 

Curtis is preceded in death by his parents and his former spouse, Dolores. 

He is survived by his three children, Lori (Rodney) Stauffer, Kim Rangel, 
Kevin (Shelli) Gill, all of Cozad; nine grandchildren, Kendra and her husband 
Nate, Jeffrey, Rita, Haleigh, Simon, Jr., Kurt, Kyle, Kerri and Klint and five 
great-grandchildren.
