In Loving Memory Of Curtis Mamoru Labor, , July 30, 2026
The life of Curtis Mamoru Labor was a journey that spanned oceans and roles, from the disciplined world of a U.S. Navy flight deck to the quiet, loving embrace of family in Alabama. At 66, his passing leaves behind a legacy of service, adventure, and deep devotion.
Born in Honolulu in 1960, Curtis’s heart held the spirit of the islands throughout his life. His path led him to honorably serve his country aboard the U.S.S. Lexington, where he was a vital member of the catapult crew—a demanding role that required precision, courage, and teamwork. This chapter of service forged a discipline he carried always.
In 2000, a new adventure began. Moving with his beloved wife, Regina, to Alabama, Curtis traded the vast Pacific for the rolling hills of the South. Here, he built a different kind of life, one centered on family and shared experiences. He cherished traveling with Regina, creating a treasure trove of memories that became their shared legacy.
He is remembered not only as a veteran but as a devoted husband, a caring stepfather to Christopher, a supportive brother to Audree, Emi, Dennis, and Kelly, and a beloved uncle and friend. While preceded in death by loved ones including his stepdaughter Leslie, his memory is a beacon for those who survive him.
Curtis Labor’s story is one of a man who served with honor, loved with commitment, and embraced each new chapter with an open heart. From the roar of jet catapults to the quiet companionship of a life well-lived, his journey was, above all, about connection.
