Curtis Olen Crosby, a lifelong Louisiana resident, passed away on September 30, 2024, at the age of 64, following a brief battle with cancer.

 Curtis was born September 4, 1960, in New Orleans, Louisiana and spent his childhood in DeRidder, Louisiana. He is survived by April Allen Crosby, his wife of 30 years. He is also survived by daughter, Hannah Alexis Crosby Duffy (Patrick) and by his son Jackson Cooper Crosby, all of Baton Rouge.
