Curtis J. Low, 73, of Birnamwood, died on Dec. 18, 2022, in the comfort of his home under the care of Aspirus LeRoyer Hospice. Curt was born on May 17, 1949, in Tigerton, the son of Jesse and Adeline Low.
On Oct. 12, 1968, Curt married the love of his life Evelyn Matz at St. Matthews Church in Bowler. Curt graduated from Wittenberg High School and started logging until he went to work for Wick Building Systems for 16 years. In the spring of 1988, Curt and his brother started Low Bros. Lumber Company in Wittenberg. Curt had a talent and a love for designing and building homes. In his career he built 167 homes until he retired in 2012. Curt and Evie worked as a team to build four duplexes which they rented out. Curt was a member of Redeemer Lutheran Church, Wittenberg.
Curt loved hunting, fishing and shooting pool but mostly he loved spending time with his family. Curt loved woodworking and he was so proud of the cedar hope chests he built for his granddaughters.
