Dateline: Godfrey

Curtis Eugene Izard, 65, passed on Wednesday April 25th 2023 after a brief battle with cancer. Curt was a devoted Son, Husband, Father and Friend. Curt married his soul mate, Julie Slocumb, on September 3rd 1981 in Alton. Together, they enjoyed watching their children and grandchildren grow. A fun-loving man that was always willing to lend a hand to those in need. He was a master carpenter who offered his skills to all his family and friends. If Curt wasn't working on a project at his own home, he could be found at a family or friend's home working on a project. There are not many family members or friends that would not be able to point to something in their home and say "Curt built that". Curt was a quick-witted man of few words that enjoyed his music and sports. Cheers
