James "Jimmy" Curran '62
We are saddened to inform you that James "Jimmy" Curran '62 passed away on October 2, 2022.
"Jimmy was born on November 2, 1943, and grew up in the Park Hill neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. He was the 4th of Edward and Pauline Curran's 10 children. After attending Blessed Sacrament grade school and Regis High School, he entered St. Louis Jesuit Seminary, where he studied for two years. He then decided he really wanted to work with children due to the fun times he had had with his siblings growing up. He returned to Denver and earned his Classical BA at Regis College, graduating in 1967, and began his teaching career at Holy Family High School. During this time, he met the love of his life, Pamela Ann who knew many of his friends and had even grown up in the same neighborhood as he did. There were so many unusual and fun connections between the two of them that they must have been destined to meet. They married at Blessed Sacrament in 1969 and stayed in the Denver area. Early in their marriage Jimmy completed his Master's Degree in Special Education for the Physically Handicapped at the University of Northern Colorado but ended up teaching mostly English and Latin in middle schools until his retirement. He also had a second job at the Mile High Kennel Club, working at the horse track and dog track for 65+ years. Later in life, Jimmy and Pam became snowbirds and added a winter home in Surprise, Arizona. Between the two locations, they enjoyed many friendships and life with each other for nearly 53 years of marriage." Click here to view the full obituary.
Jimmy will be honored at a Memorial Mass at St. Jude's Church on November 5, 2022, at 11:00 am with a reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Jimmy's memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or JoniandFriends.org.
We join the prayers of the community of Regis Jesuit with yours for the repose of Jimmy's soul and the consolation of his family and all those who loved him. May he rest in peace.
