Curtiss Wright Meade
Nov 4, 1956 - Mar 7, 2020

DAVIS FAMILY
FUNERAL HOME
DEWEY, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)
Curtiss Wright Meade, lifelong Bartlesville resident, was 63 when he
departed this life on earth for eternal rest with his Heavenly Father.
His deep love and kindness will be dearly missed by his son little
Curtiss, siblings Connie, William, Gentry and Tyson, other family and
friends.
Curt was born the son of William Howard and Nora Nadine (Yellin) Meade
on November 4, 1956, in Bartlesville. He grew up on Sand Creek in Osage
County, working and playing rough with his three brothers and one
sister. During his growing up years he developed his love for baseball
and riding his motorcycle full throttle - just like his love for the
Lord, growing up in the Methodist church. After graduating from College
High in 1974, he went on to Wesleyan College to earn his bachelor’s
degree and play college baseball. Curt went on to further his pastoral
education in Disney, OK.
In his early years Curt worked for Major Leasing, delivering vehicles
across the United States. Curt felt his calling to full-time ministry
and started a church in downtown Bartlesville called Children’s Church
which ministered to children and youth through its bus ministry. Later
he opened Grace Discipleship which focused on helping new Christians
through their first year before settling into a bigger home church and
Curt faithfully served the Lord through it for 25 years. Curt knew that
our most precious commodity was time and how our creative minds spend or
use time is an accurate gauge of our priorities – God was Curt’s
priority throughout his life’s journey.
Most recently Curt opened the Well Spring Clinic which focused on
intense bible study and journaling to deepen faith and develop a
wellspring of holiness. While actively pursing this ministry, Curt
started delivering the Tulsa World, his route quickly grew with the
addition of new routes and he had to hire other drivers to help him
deliver all the papers on time, but he enjoyed helping his drivers and
the subscribers by making sure their papers were placed correctly
according to their needs. He was meticulous and conscientious, whether
people were watching, or not.
Life changed for Curt when he became a father and raised little Curtiss.
He was very involved with Curtiss’s many activities such as soccer and
school goings-on. Feeling strongly in the need for a Christian
education, Curt was faithful to enroll him and Curtiss settled into
Wesleyan Christian School which he attended until graduating in 2015.
Curt was deservedly proud of the not-so-little man he had raised and he
always had Curtiss’s back.
Over the years Curt was called on to substitute teach at WCS when
needed. If you asked the Wesleyan students, teachers and parents who
recall him fondly, many would describe Curt as one of the kindest men
they had ever known. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down
one’s life for one’s friends. (John 15:13) – Curt embodied that with his
life of ministry and service. Curt’s greatest passion was the Lord and
he was always mindful of God’s will for his life.
During his free time, he enjoyed watching baseball games, hanging out
with his many friends at Mazzio’s, or keeping up with what Curtiss was
doing. He loved cars and was always brand loyal. Subarus were his
favorite and it wasn’t uncommon to see that Curt had traded one for
another. He had the friendliest smile and a joyful spirit that embodied
his love for God.
Curt is survived by his beloved son Curtiss Ryan Meade of the home;
siblings, Connie Jo McDonald of Bartlesville, William Bryon Meade and
wife Bette of Broken Arrow, Gentry Lee Meade and wife Irene of Dallas,
and Tyson Todd Meade of Oklahoma City. He is preceded in death by his
parents.
