Curtis Dean Paul Desjarlais was born on June 20, 1972 in Belcourt, ND to Andrew Desjarlais and Victoria (Nadeau) Westlind.  He was raised with his family in St. John, ND and completed his education there as well. Curtis was a very quiet man.  He was a loving father, uncle, and friend.  He loved dogs and cats.  Curtis loved going fishing, working on cars, music, and being outdoors.  He loved spending time with is family.  He enjoyed company and would make friends wherever he went.  Over the years, he had to slow his activities because of medical issues.  He then would resort to riding around listening to his music, stopping at friends and relative's homes just to say hello.  He especially loved and missed his daughters, Shanae and Santana.  He was so very proud of them and his eyes would light up when talking about them.

Our brother will never be forgotten but dearly missed.  Rest in peace, until we meet again.  Love from the Family.
