The Associated Press
SOUTH OGDEN, Utah — A candlelight vigil has been scheduled for Aug. 31 for a Utah soldier killed in Afghanistan.
Army Staff Sgt. Kurt Curtiss, 27, of Murray was fatally shot Aug. 25 in a firefight as his unit tried to clear a group of insurgents out of a hospital in Paktika province, Army spokesman Nathan Banks said.
Curtiss is survived by his wife, Elizabeth, a 9-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter.
Curtiss had two prior tours of duty in Iraq and told his mother that the situation he found in his most recent deployment in Afghanistan was “brutal.”
“He didn’t say much more than that,” his mother, Ruth Serrano of South Ogden, told the Salt Lake Tribune. “I don’t know if he wasn’t allowed to, or if he just didn’t want to worry people. I don’t know.”

Prayers & Condolences For:
Kurt R. Curtiss
BY Anonymous on May 30, 2011 | |  | thank you, Staff sgt Curtiss for your sacrifice. My husband came home for R&R and the one thing he left in my care when he returned to Afghanistan was his memorial bracelet for Curtiss for safe keeping. I've seen several of the men that served alongside him that wear their bracelets for Curtiss still even though they have become scratched and faded. He and 4th platoon were deeply affected by the loss of their comrad. He will never be forgotten by any of us that knew him or have heard about him from his fellow soldiers.
