Curtis Wilber

Curtis J. Wilber of Cottonwood, Arizona, formerly of Bradford, Pennsylvania, passed away April 25, 2024 in Cottonwood. Born January 23, 1964, to Jerry Lee and Sandra Mae Wilber, Curt knew how to enjoy life. He easily made friends and was never afraid to tell anyone how it was, or at least, how it ought to be. 

After graduating from Bradford Area High School, Curt went on to study and swim at Fairmont College in Virginia. He went on to join the United States Air Force where he served for almost four years working as a Munitions Systems Specialist. Curt then became an electrician in the IBEW Local #5 for fourteen years before moving to Cottonwood, AZ with his family to operate and later own convenience stores. 

Surviving is his spouse of 34 years, Robin T. Wilber, three children, Amanda Wilber (Jak Teel), David Wilber (Sarah Rosensteel), and Dylan Wilber, and two grandsons, Xander and Rowan Teel. He is also survived by three brothers, two sisters, and several Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nieces and Nephews. He is preceded in death by both parents, Jerry and Sandra Wilber. 

Curt enjoyed hanging out and drinking beer with friends and family, listening to good tunes, researching, watching movies, taking drives out to the middle of nowhere, and napping. He enjoyed being involved in various swimming and wrestling programs with his kids and grandkids. Luckily, he’ll never have to find out when the shit really hits the fan. And luckily for his family, he’s prepared them for what to do when it does! 

Services for Curt will be held at Westcott Funeral Home in Cottonwood on Friday, May 3, 2024 at 10:00am. As requested, a party celebrating his life with lots of friends and family, music, and food will be held in his honor at Curt's Garage Hangout. 

Curt will be laid to rest at the Valley View Cemetery in Clarkdale, AZ on May 7, 2024.
