                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 11, 2022

  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Curt Rhodes.
  Curt was a friend to everyone he met. Whether he was watching races 
at the Macon Speedway, attending events with the UMP Modified Racing 
Series, or watching his favorite team, the St. Louis Blues, Curt was 
loved by those around him.
  If there is one thing Curt loved more than the Blues or a day at the 
speedway, it was his family. Curt loved nothing more than to be with 
his family. His brother Joe, his sister Debbie, his nephews Brandon, 
Justin, Tyler, and Ryan, and his nieces Hannah and Kristy meant the 
world to him. Curt and his wife Katrina raised a beautiful family of 
their own, including his son Zachary and his daughter Kassandra. Curt 
was loved and will be remembered by many.
  Curt was born in Edmonton Alberta, Canada but eventually moved to my 
hometown of Taylorville, Illinois. He lived a fulfilling, honest life 
and was dedicated to his family, his community and being a friend to 
all.
  On January 31, 2022, Curt passed away in Springfield, Illinois. 
Shannon and I send our thoughts and prayers to his family. Curt will be 
missed by many. May he rest in peace.
