Obituary of TJ Curley

Todd James “TJ” Curley (23) passed away in Spokane, WA on February 19, 2024.  He was born to Clifford and Pamela (Hendrickx) Curley on August 10, 2000, in Spokane.  TJ grew up in Plummer and attended school there.  He was a talented athlete who excelled in basketball and golf.  A class clown, he was gifted with his father’s sense of humor.  He found joy in making people laugh and was always cracking jokes.

TJ loved the outdoors and all they had to offer.  He hunted, fished, and rode bikes all over the area.  Racing at Airway Heights on motorcycles was always a good time, and he was good at it.  He was fairly competitive but was fortunate that he never broke a bone in the sport.  TJ took on some odd jobs spending time in the maintenance department at the casino, a cashier at Fighting Creek, and he and some friends opened a small engine repair business where they specialized in lawn mower repair.  He was mechanically inclined and enjoyed tinkering on things.

TJ is survived by his parents Clifford Curley and Pam (Chris) Biles all of Worley, ID; siblings Ashley (Joshua) Richmond and Kimberly (Cameron) Smith of Worley, ID, Aaron Allen of Plummer, ID, and Shannon (Sean) Rosdahl of Spokane, WA; grandmothers Mary Beth Chambless of Plummer, ID and Ida Curley of Worley, ID; several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.  He is preceded in death by his son Kenai Castro-Curley and his grandfathers Lyle Hendrickx and Dominic Curley.
