Curtis " Curt Da Cat" Wayne Kinney Obituary (1948 - 2023)

Curtis Wayne Kinney, born to Wayne and Fleta Kinney (Curtis) on November 18th 1948, departed his earthly home on May 10th. His moniker was Curt Da Cat before the proud title of Gampa came into play. A proud Sexton Big Red, Curt was known throughout the Mid Michigan area for his love of sports, coaching hundreds of children in football and basketball. He previously was an avid softball coach and enjoyed putting on softball tournaments throughout the tri state area. After retiring from the State of Michigan, Curt enjoyed traveling with his wife. A true jokester, Curt always had a corny riddle to share. A die hard University of Michigan and Detroit Tiger fan, he never gave up on his teams and was notorious for his maize and blue or orange attire.He also loved music of his era and could often be heard belting out his version of any Elvis song. Proceeding his journey to the arms of the Lord were his parents and wife, Jacqueline (Mills). Here to cherish his memory are his four children; Angela Kinney, Kristen (Wayne) Frazer, Laura (Randy) Houghton, Curtis (Heather) Kinney, sister Rita Riggle, brothers Dennis Kinney and Darrell (Debi) Kinney, a host of nieces and nephews, and most dear to his heart, his grandchildren and great grandchildren. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Gift of Life Michigan, in his memory. Go Blue Forever! The family would like to take this time to thank everyone for their love and support.
