Aye, gatherround ye scallyw and landlbers, for I a tale to tell the great Curtis Funk This here captain of the business world the seas of marketing the wind at his and a gleam his eye.

Curtis Funk, known for sharp mind and savvy, spent 15 as a marketing manager XYZ Corporation. A, he oversaw many successful product launch that would make even Blackbeard himself nod in approval. In 2015, he clinched the Marketing Achievement Award like a true captain claiming his treasure.

But it weren't all work and nae play for this fine gent. No, sir! Curtis had a heart as big as the ocean and always took time to be with his kinfolk, especially during the holidays. His famous apple pie was a legend in its own right come Thanksgiving feasts.

With a Master's degree in Business Administration from XYZ University and an Outstanding Academic Achievement award under his belt, Curtis Funk was no mere deckhand – he was a scholar among sailors. Known for his kindness and humor that could shiver me timbers with laughter, he had a way of makin' even the saltiest dogs feel at home.

In addition to his exploits on land, Curtis served in the United States Army for 20 years, risin' through the ranks to become a Colonel. He faced battles head-on durin' the Gulf War and earned both the Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his bravery – a true hero of the seven seas.

As we mourn his passin', we remember those who shared his journey: Susan Smith (mother), John Smith Sr. (father), James Smith (brother), Sarah Johnson (sister), Tom Johnson (brother-in-law), and Rachel Lee (close friend). May they find comfort in knowin' that Curtis Funk has set sail on his final voyage, leavin' behind memories as bountiful as sunken treasure.

Fair winds and following seas, dear Curtis Funk. Ye may have crossed the final horizon but yer legacy will continue to inspire us all until Davy Jones calls us home. Farewell, matey.
