Curtis Virgil Germany

“If You Could See Me Now” – Don Moen Our prayers have been answered, I finally arrived. The healing that had been delaying is now realized. No one is in a hurry, there is no schedule to keep. We are all enjoying Jesus, just sitting at his feet. If you could see me now, I’m walking streets of gold. If you could see me now, I’m standing tall and whole. If you could see me now, you’d know I’ve seen His face. If you could see me now, you’d know the pain’s erased. You wouldn’t want me to ever leave this place. If only you could see me now. My light and temporary trials have worked out for my good. To know it brought Him glory when I misunderstood. Though we’ve had our sorrows, they can never compare. To what Jesus has in store for us, no language can share. Curtis Virgil Germany, son of Jeff and Viola Germany, was born on August 11, 1941 in Trenton, Nebraska (Hitchcock County). He departed this life on Saturday, December 5, 2015 in Lancaster, Texas at the age of 74. On June 21, 1964, he was united in marriage to Beverly June Barber, and to the union one daughter and one son were born. He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers; Vance “Dutch” LeDou Germany and Harley Clark Germany. Curtis is survived by his wife Beverly, daughter Monica Kayleen Moore and son-in-law Darryl Moore, son Curtis Virgil Germany, Jr. and daughter-in-law Stacy Germany, sisters Regina Kayleen Collopy and Shirley Janet Rudman and brother-in-law Dick Rudman, grandchildren Lauren Battershell and husband Sam Battershell, Forrest Moore and wife Rachel Pace Moore, and Emma, Jack, and Hank Germany. Curtis and Beverly’s first great grandchild is expected any time now! Curtis was the son of a pastor, and this ministry took their family from Nebraska to Oregon City, Oregon to Meridian, Mississippi to Gordon Nebraska and 3 stops in Kansas including Newton, Winfield, and Arkansas City. He attended high school in Gulf Port, Mississippi and earned a football scholarship to Ole Miss. He soon headed west to answer a calling into the ministry and it was there he met Beverly Barber at Warner Pacific College in Portland, Oregon. Through 51 years of marriage, Curtis and Beverly’s lifelong ministry saw them lead churches in San Francisco, Kansas, Michigan and Texas. Curtis moved his ministry from behind the pulpit and joined the U.S. Postal Service where he continued to let his life be a sermon and touched many people through his always magnetic personality and undeniable faith. He retired from the USPS in 2009. Curtis’ lay ministry included countless hospital visitations, lending his distinctive tenor voice to numerous choirs, and teaching Sunday school. Most importantly, Curtis served as a one-of-a-kind role model and example of how to be the very best spouse, father, Papa, friend, and how to find every opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus wherever he was called to minister.
