In Loving Memory of Curtis Lemott
July 21, 1936 – June 18, 2026
With hearts filled with love and gratitude for a life well lived, we celebrate the life and legacy of Mr. Curtis Lemott, who peacefully departed this life at his home in Alexandria, Louisiana, on Thursday, June 18, 2026, at the age of 89 years, 10 months, and 28 days.
Curtis was born on July 21, 1936, in Pineville, Louisiana, to the late William Lemott, Sr. and Ivy Lee Williams Lemott. Raised with strong values of hard work, generosity, and family, Curtis became a man who earned the admiration and respect of everyone blessed to know him.
A dedicated and dependable worker, Curtis spent many years employed as a Print Operator at CLECO in the utilities industry. He believed in doing every job with excellence and integrity, and his strong work ethic was evident in every aspect of his life.
Curtis was a man who truly enjoyed life. He loved spending time at the casino, cheering on his favorite sports teams, and was a devoted New Orleans Saints fan. His passion for Grambling State University ran deep. Though not a graduate himself, he proudly supported his beloved wife throughout all four years of her college journey, faithfully driving her back and forth to campus. Because of his unwavering dedication and support, he was affectionately regarded as an Honorary Grambling Alumnus.
Football season was one of his favorite times of the year, and you could always find him tailgating, enjoying good food, fellowship, and laughter. He was often dressed in black and gold in support of his Saints, although blue remained his favorite color.
Curtis was also a proud and respected Mason, living a life marked by service, honor, and brotherhood.
Known by family, friends, and neighbors as “everyone’s PawPaw,” Curtis had a servant’s heart. If something needed repairing, he was the first person people called. Whether it was fixing something around the house, lending a helping hand, or simply offering wise advice, he was always there without hesitation. His generosity knew no bounds, and he never expected anything in return.
Nothing brought Curtis greater joy than being surrounded by his family. He especially loved cooking for those he loved, creating meals that brought everyone together around the table. His grandchildren held a special place in his heart, and he treasured every opportunity to spend time with them, share stories, offer guidance, and make lasting memories.
Curtis also possessed a wonderful sense of humor. He was a natural jokester, always ready with a funny story, playful remark, or witty comeback that could brighten anyone’s day. His laughter was contagious, and his ability to make others smile was one of his greatest gifts.
Although his earthly presence will be deeply missed, the legacy of kindness, generosity, faithfulness, laughter, and unconditional love that Curtis leaves behind will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
His memory will forever remind us that a life measured by love, service, and compassion is a life well lived.
“Well done, good and faithful servant.”
