Mr. Curtis loved his God and loved talking to Him. He prayed more for our church, our members, and people he didn’t know more than he prayed for himself. To honor him wasn’t what he would have wanted, but it something that we needed to do. There was a huge celebration today in heaven because of what happen during his funeral. Pastor Rick, Pastor Danny and his son Andy presented the gospel so lovingly that six people gave their hearts to Jesus!! During a time that most people morn and feel sorry for themselves, the Crutchfield family embraced the fact that their husband and father was in heaven and wanted to make sure that everyone present heard and knew the gospel. This is a family of great faith; they comforted most of us instead of us comforting them. Mr. Curtis would have been proud of them, but most of all he wouldn’t have changed a thing because six people gave their hearts to Jesus during a funeral honoring him!!

Curtis and Bill Cutler together again. Heaven is rejoicing! May we follow the prayer legacy they left behind; it’s a sure road to see them again.

Authentic- this man was as authentic as it can get. His heart was clearly for the Father and his faithfulness to his calling was completely consistent. What an honor it was to receive his emails and know his passion for the impact our prayers would have.

I am so glad that J.D. shared this letter that expresses just who Curtis Crutchfield was and how dedicated he was to the cause of Christ. No one in our church has more exemplified what it means to be a servant to the body of believers. When I heard of his untimely death, my first thought was that he went directly from service here to serving our Lord in Heaven. And I am comforted by the knowledge that I will one day be serving alongside him once again “when we meet up there.”

As brokenhearted as I am with the passing of our dear brother in Christ, Curtis (upon whom I have become so dependent for prayer needs), my heart rejoices that he is in the presence of the Lord that he loved and served so selflessly. As Paul stated, for him to live was Christ, but to die was gain. We that are left behind grieve the loss of this incredible man of God. May God comfort our aching hearts.

As a relatively new Summit member, I only knew him for a little over a year. Curtis was one of the greatest prayer warriors I ever met. Why was he a great prayer warrior? He delighted in calling out to God in humility and weakness so that God could be strong for the literally countless others for whom he prayed.

And he delighted in seeing others join him in doing the same.

Yes, Curtis, we acutely feel your absence. As JD says, may our merciful Lord God raise up at least 100 more to take his place.

Curtis was truly one of the most Godly men I have ever known. He had a quiet spirit and was mostly behind the scenes, but he was a big man in God’s eyes. His faith is a testimony to so many of what God can do when we pray and trust him. Gary and I will personally miss Curtis and we send our love to Kathy, Andy, Christy and the extended family.
