Brent was born February 18, 1961 in Oskaloosa Iowa, to Paul and Ann Curtis (Darr). He married Kim (Milligan) at St. Pius X in Urbandale, IA on May 25th, 1991. They were blessed with three children.

Brent graduated from Lewis Central High School in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He later moved to Des Moines, Iowa where he joined the Des Moines Police Department as a cadet in 1986 later entering the academy to become a Des Moines Police Officer. He served 36 years on the department serving as Patrol Officer, Vice/Narcotics, Homicide and Robbery, a School Resource officer at Lincoln High School, Missing persons/runaways, Burglary/thefts, and seven years assigned to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation as a forensic computer examiner. He did all this before coming full circle back to Patrol. He retired June 1, 2022.

Brent enjoyed spending time with his children, attending all their many activities through the years. He was a foodie at heart and an accredited Google reviewer, something he took very seriously. He was known for taking many pictures of his food when out to dinner. He also enjoyed video games and Iowa Hawkeye Football. But his true passion was his family- he was most proud that we were a close family which included weekly Sunday Dinners. He was so happy when he earned his new title as “Opa” upon the births of his three grandchildren.

Brent is survived by his wife of 34 years, Kim. His children Paige (Tyler) Ahrens, Adel, IA, Tanner Curtis, Des Moines, IA, and Dylan Curtis, Waukee, IA. His three grandchildren Henry, Oliver and Chloe. Brothers Scott Curtis, Marshfield MO, and Mitch Curtis Tallahassee, FL. Aunt Peggy Sharp, Durango, CO as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents Paul and Ann Curtis (Darr), and twin sister, Lisa Curtis.

We would like to thank all our family and friends for the love and support throughout this time.
