Curtis D. Culpepper

FOUNTAIN INN- Curtis Denson Culpepper, 91, of 530 Durbin Meadows Road went home to be with the Lord, Friday, December 16, 2016 at McCall Hospice House in Simpsonville.

  A native of Banks County, Georgia, he was the son of the late J.L. and Roxie Jane Carroll Culpepper.  He was a retired claims appraiser with State Farm Insurance and was a member of Woodruff Church of God.  He served his country as a signalman in the U.S. Navy during World War II, and remained a soldier and patriot in his heart for the rest of his life.  He was a member of Gideons International and a graduate of Holmes Theological Seminary.

  He is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 70 years, Betty Marchbanks Culpepper of the home; one daughter, Linda Culpepper Mansfield of Greenville; four sons, Ron Culpepper of Travelers Rest, Michael Culpepper of Simpsonville, Steve Culpepper of Simpsonville and Todd Culpepper of Raleigh, N.C.; one sister, Lorraine Bright of Greenville; two brothers, Boyd Culpepper of Fountain Inn and Harley Culpepper of Clinton; 16 grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren.

  Curtis was a man of deep faith and character.  He was both courageous and courteous; a man of great strength and overflowing with compassion.  He lived out his values every day, and followed with devotion the truth of one of his favorite scriptures: “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Prov. 3:6.
