Robert Lewis "Ace" Currie Jr. Obituary (1952

Robert "Ace" Currie, Jr was born on October 25, 1952 in Ft Worth, TX and passed away at his home in Grandview, TX on August 14, 2020. Ace was a beloved husband, son, brother, and uncle. Ace was married to Jill Annette (Schrader) Currie of Wichita Falls, TX in 1974. His beloved wife preceded him in death on May 4, 2016. He was also preceded in death by his father, mother, brother and sister in law. Jill and Ace never had children of their own but they took care of many, many animals over the years. They rescued special needs fur babies that usually had some type of deformity and needed special care. Those animals were dearly loved. Ace worked as a mechanical engineer for American Airlines for 30 plus years before retiring in 2015. He enjoyed living in the country, spending time with his wife and their animals, his guns, hunting, fishing, building and riding motorcycles, welding and tinkering with anything that he could. Ace had a knack for being able to build or fix just about anything. He was a man of few words, a little shy until he got to know you, but then he revealed a sharp wit and sense of humor, especially with stories of his childhood. He is survived by his niece, Lauri Shimp of Midlothian, TX and nephew, Brian Goodman of Cedar Park, TX, grand nephews Jordan and Jackson Dismang and grand nieces Kaleigh and Abbie Goodman. Uncle Ace we will miss you but we know you that are at peace and with Aunt Jill for eternity. May God rest your soul. Tell mom we said hello.
