Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I have had the pleasure of working with Rob for 9 yrs and have loved every minute of it. I still expect to see him walk through the dispatch doors and call some of us freaks or whatever little name he had for some of us. No matter what kind of day he was having he always made someone laugh. You will be greatly missed Rob and our thoughts and prayers go to Leslee, Krysten and Trevor. Anything they need will be taken care of.

Rob you have been a Friend, Mentor, and someone I have looked up to for a long time. You will be missed not just by me but by all the ones who knew you and worked with you. You where the one who saw the ones who need help and you where there to show us the right direction to go.
My friend you will always be with us in our hearts and minds. I found this and it fits cause when I saw you at Competition it was like you had found your nitch on the motor.
The Motorcycle Officer's Poem reads as follows:
It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright... And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast.. They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past. Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun, And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.

They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you... They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few. Like men of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light... Then with a roar and rumble; they ride out of our sight.

Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound... And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.

So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes; you know that you are safe.

For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind... And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.
Rob I know I don't just say this for me but
BROTHER YOU ARE AND WILL BE MISSED!!!!!!!

I always looked up to Rob when i was younger. He always had a clear head about what was going on and a clear voice of reason when things were out of control. I will always remember that he could be turned to in any instant. I will miss you cousin.

I would always try to make Rob laugh, because he had a great one. And he always made us laugh by just being Rob. We were blessed to have known him.

If We Could Bring You Back Again


If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.


If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.


If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.


Our thoughts and prayers go out to whole family and fellow officers... May God bless you all

We pray for the Gulfport Police Department during this time of grief and loss. We pray for Lt. Curry's family and rally these officers to reach out to help them where ever needed. Our profession builds strong officers that should pull off their hidden armor to support the Curry family during this time. Father, make your grace and mercy known at Gulfport PD.

Rob, you were my first Lieutenant. You helped guide and mold me into the man I am today. I will be forever grateful for the lessons and experiences you have passed on to me. You kept me safe when I didn't know any better and helped me through the hard times. It's so hard to believe you're gone. Thank you Rob for everything, and may you rest in peace.

I went to basic LEO Academy with Rob in Long Beach, MS. He was one of several who were making the transition from the military to Law Enforcement. Though I have had no contact with him in the years since I always remembered Rob being a cool and calm voice of reason in difficult times. I am sure he will be sorely missed by many more than me. God Bless.

Rob you are so special to me. The little (big) brother I never had. I love and miss you so much.
Leslee you know that we are all hear for you and the kids.
You all are so special and important to us and we will always be by your side. We are family and that's what Rob loved. He loved you and the kids more than anything and he loved his friends and "HIS" dispatchers at the PD.
May God bless each one of you and I pray that God will give you peace and comfort.
We love you Leslee and we will all get through this together.
