Curt Lane Fazio Obituary (1960

Curtis Lane Fazio, 55, left us on September 7, 2015 with his family by his side. Curt was born on June 18, 1960 in Tacoma, WA to George and Dixie Fazio. He lived in Tacoma for the majority of his childhood until he moved to Port Orchard, WA in 1975. He graduated from South Kitsap High School in 1978 where he was a very successful athlete. Ever since he was a little boy playing baseball was what he loved to do. The stories could be told for days on end without hearing the same one twice. Whether it was baseball, slow pitch, modified fast pitch, back to hard ball, and then coaching, he loved being on the diamond and he loved passing on his passion for the game. Curt worked Coca-Cola for 30 years as a driver where many people were given the pleasure of meeting him while he delivered to many different places over his career. After his retirement from Coca-Cola, Curt went on to work for the Central Kitsap School District where even more of the community was able to meet such an inspirational man. Anyone that even remotely knew Curt, knew that he was a very proud father. He loved his children more than anything in this world. He spent his life instilling into his children the same hard work ethic and dedication that his parents instilled in him. In his final days he spoke of wanting to make sure that all of his children and grandchildren were successful and he wanted them to know how much he loved them. Curt is survived by his significant other, Renee, who was his rock during his hard fought battle with cancer. His parents, Dixie and George Fazio. His sister, Nicole Fazio. His grandmother, Grace Smith. His four children, Jordann, Gavin, Talia, and Stratton Fazio. His grandchild, Garrett Lane Fazio, who was named in honor of him. He is also survived by a very large, loving extended family.
