Daniel Dale Curttright, 57, of Kansas City, MO, passed away July 11, 2021 at NorthCare Hospice House in North Kansas City, MO after a very brief battle with an aggressive cancer. He did so with grace, dignity, integrity and courage. A Celebration of Life gathering will be announced at a future date.

 

Dan was preceded in death by his father, John. He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Lori Curttright; daughter Kristen Curttright; sister Leanne Ashby; brother Bryan Curttright; and mother Rosa Curttright. He is also survived by numerous other relatives and countless friends. 

 

Dan served as a Pershing Missile Specialist in the United States Army from 1982-1986. He worked as an aircraft mechanic at American/TWA Airlines from 1987-2005. Since 2006, he was employed at Evergy/KCP&L at the Iatan plant as a Plant Operator and, most recently, as an Operations Supervisor.

 

Dan enjoyed golfing, target shooting, playing cards, and staying current with technology. He will always be remembered for his kind and gentle spirit, his quick sense of humor, his infectious smile, and his willingness to lend a hand to anyone in need.

Dan was a great friend, a great boss and always had a smile on his face. He was one of the smartest people I have ever met. From computer problems to finances he helped me considerably. He taught me how to play blackjack, after several trips to Vegas I actually came out on top! We trained for control operator at the same time. I am still amazed at his ability to excel through the program. It was easy, for Dan. His family is in my prayers. He will be missed.
