Curtis L. Coonrod 1938-2021
YOUNGSTOWN — Curtis Lee Coonrod, 83, fell asleep in death at his home early Friday, Nov. 19, 2021, after an extended illness.
Curtis was born in October of 1938, in Spokane, Wash., the only son of Curtis Lee Coonrod Sr. and Dale Verona Ring.
He loved history and was an avid Bible student, including deep research into works like Josephus.
He enjoyed sharing Bible truths with others, especially prophecies for “our day yet to be fulfilled.” As a result of his extensive Bible studies, he never lost his positive attitude, even during his challenging battle with MS and unrelenting pain from nerve damage.
On Feb. 11, 1954, he was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses (JW.org). He was an active member of the East Campbell congregation.
An outside salesman by occupation, he received many accolades for achievements from various national companies.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 42 years, Mary; a stepson, Sean Douglas Henry (Shannon) of Portland, Ore.; one sister, Cindy Nelson (Terry) of Grant’s Pass, Ore.; and a spiritual family who will miss him very much.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, Jan. 8, 2022, via Zoom.
