Curtis Lamar Hart, 86, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, November 12, 2022 at his residence surrounded by his loving family. Mr. Hart was born on March 23, 1936 to the late Jude Hart and Johnnie Lea Lambert. Born in a different era, where you didn't have running water, Curtis grew up hauling and chopping wood, pumping well water, walking to school, and riding horses. In his teens, his career began in the oilfields. Not realizing that this would be a career, he would continue with for over 60 years. A passion that was lifelong was hunting in the woods: Deer, hogs, cows, or wild horses with Jack Strahan. Also a big part of his life was roping and riding. When play days started in this area, he went all out. Not only did he have his children participate, but so did he. It wasn't long he was hosting them at his own arena. Next came roping calves, bucking bulls, and team roping. Team roping stuck. Curtis held ropings that grew and expanded. Most of the ropers from this area have roped in his arena. No one that has lived here in the last 50 years can forget the West Hardin Trail Riders. Curtis started it in 1970 and it lasted approximately 30 years. He started for families: No alcohol, No stud horses, No profanity. He enforced this many times. A hole has been left in many hearts, besides his family. His legacy will never be forgotten. We must carry on the principles he lived by. He will be dearly missed by all who loved him.

Curtis is preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Lonnie Hart and Jeff Hart; sister, Connie Hart Bennett.

Those left to cherish his memory are wife, Ginger Alford Hart of Batson, TX; son, Scotty Hart and wife Debra of Batson, TX; daughters, Penny Hart of Batson, TX and Teresa Hughes of Batson, TX; brothers, Dwain Hart and wife Darlene of Batson, TX and Butch Hart of Batson, TX; sisters, Betty Watkins of Liberty, TX and Lorice Hudspeth of Batson, TX; 9 grandchildren; 21 great- grandchildren; 2 great great-grandchildren and a host of family and friends.

Service of Remembrance will be held at 10:00 am on Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at Calvary Tabernacle Ministries in Batson, TX with Reverend Tolbert Hudspeth, Reverend Aaron DeLaughter and Rachel DeLaughter officiating. Gathering of family and friends will be held from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm on Tuesday, November 15, 2022 at Calvary Tabernacle Ministries in Batson, TX. Interment will follow to Guedry Cemetery in Batson, TX.

Sending my deepest condolences to all the family and friends of Curtis Hart. When I think about Curtis it brings a smile to my face and warms my heart. I’m so blessed to have known him and love him and his amazing family. Early on Curtis had a vision about his family and friends…how to bring everyone together to celebrate any and every day not just holidays. To me he was the best at being creative to bring people together. From trail rides to building roping arena’s. People came from near and far to join in on the good time’s to be had at Curtis and Ginger’s home. Doors always open and a fresh pot of coffee always available and most of all those smiles to greet you. When you walked into their home you could rest at ease…because you were family and a forever friend. I can see that smile and hear that unmistakable laughter. You have and always will live in my heart…Thank you for my precious memories Curtis Hart!!! I know you are singing and rejoicing in heaven…Amen!

My Daddy stood 10 foot tall and bullet proof, He was my hero . He worked in the oilfield and made a good living I never wanted for anything. He had fun with us, even though he was in pain with his health nothing stopped him. He rigged up ways he could get on his mower and mowed our yard because he didn’t believe in setting still. We thought we was going to loss him during the summer this year because his power chair was having trouble because he had to be active. My life will have a huge empty place. Love you forever Dad
