Curtis Robert MORASH
In Loving Memory of Curtis Robert Morash
1971-2025
“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.”
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Curtis Robert Morash, on February 9, 2025, at the age of 53.
We were incredibly blessed to have the time we did with him, filled with his purity of heart, selfless desire to help others, strong spirit, fun sense of humor, and endless, boundless love for his family and friends.
Curtis was born on November 24, 1971, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and raised by his loving parents, the late Richard and Doreen Countaway (Morash). In 1987, along with his parents and sisters, he moved to Edmonton Alberta, where he brought the warm and charitable nature of the Maritimes out West with him.
Left to treasure his memory and miss him deeply are his spouse of 12 years Nicole, Daughter Alyssa (Garrett), stepdaughter Shawntae, step-mother Doreen (late Alan Zinck), sisters Pearl (Kurtis) and Gail, brother Brian (Christa), nephews Anthony (Jamie) and Michael, great-nephew Roman, dear friend Pamela (Mike), and several other aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
After moving to Edmonton, Curtis attended Jasper Place High School, where he played on the school football team. He enjoyed watching sports, especially hockey, and was an avid Montreal Canadiens and Oilers fan. Throughout his life, Curtis loved playing baseball – even being scouted to try out for the Edmonton Trappers as a young man. He played on various scrub softball teams throughout the years and cherished the friendships he made along the way. Curtis got along with people from all walks of life, never judging and easily drawing people in with his charismatic and kind nature. He was adventurous and never backed down from trying new things, learning to skateboard and taking on various arts and crafts projects. He found great comfort in listening to and sharing music with others that was sentimental to him.
From 1991-2011, Curtis was employed in the oilpatch where he made a name for himself working as a Driller. He was also employed as a roofer, landscaper, and mover throughout his life. No matter what job he did, his drive and work ethic were unparalleled and admired by many. He was known to use his skills to help friends and family members whenever they were in need, quick to offer a helping hand while expecting nothing in return. He had a strong, humble, and protective nature, always making sure those around him were taken care of.
Curtis loved the outdoors, and some of his best memories were spent camping and being in nature with loved ones. When he wasn’t camping, you need not look far for him, as he was likely at the Bingo Hall with his family, dabber at-the-ready. He was the favourite uncle of so many of his nieces and nephews, and he adored the time spent playing with and watching them grow.
Curtis, you will be thought of daily and missed deeply by those that loved you – Rest peacefully and know that your presence was a gift to us all.
A wake will be held at Pointe West Funeral Home on Tuesday February 18, 2025, from 5PM to 8PM (MST).
A Celebration of Life will be held at VantagePoint Church on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, at 12:00 PM (MST) with Pastor Gary Mullen officiating.

Curtie you more like a brother than anything else, the day I met you, you filled me with hope and wonder that maybe one day I could have some of the character that you had.

Curtis,
I still can’t believe you’re gone. I just wish you’d call me one last time so we could chat.
Alyssa is doing alright but the pain of losing you is just underneath the surface. She has been with mom everyday as we prepare to lose her too Curtis. Please be there to hold her hand as I know you are. This brings us comfort, knowing you are there to lead her to God.
You were my first love, my soul mate and my best friend. You gave me the best years of your life and I’ll always love you and bring up the stories of our past. One day you’ll have grand babies and they will know all about their Poppy.
We miss you 🙏💕✨️
