Curry Ervin-Smith, 11-1/2 years of age, passed away at his home on Monday, 11 December 2006 after a brief illness.
Born 21 May 1995 on S Tate St in Greensboro NC, Curry and his litter-mate brother, Cilantro ("Cilly"), were adopted by Justin Ervin ("Daddy") and Jeff Smith ("Poppy") in July 1995 and lived within a mile of their birthplace until the family moved to Winston-Salem in 2003.
Curry's friends and family knew him by his given name as well as by various nicknames that described his physical features and personality traits, "Feu", "Fuego", "Curry Monster", "Little Puss", "Fangs", and "Sweet Boy". The more retiring of the two brothers, Curry preferred the solitude of an empty dining room chair slid under the table or a corner behind a rocker. His last days were spent relaxing in his beloved laundry basket by a window with a view of a bird feeder.
Curry is survived by his adoptive fathers, Justin Ervin of the home and Jeff Smith of Richmond VA; his feline brother, Cilly; his canine sister, Pepper, who joined the family in 2002; and a host of relatives and friends.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Forsyth Humane Society or a companion animal rescue organization of your choice.

Justin,
My heart is with you. Curry was well-loved and happy with you. You gave him a wonderful life. Here's wishing him lots of good hide-y places, soft napping spots, and sunshine in his next life.
love, mka
