On December 18th it will be three years since we lost two good friends Curtis Edwards and Jason Peck.
Dusty had known Curtis since he first moved to American Fork back in Junior High, I actually met Curtis March 13, 1998. I know this day because it was the day that me and Dusty met also. The story gets better because me and Dusty actually met in the back of Curtis' van. At the end of the night we wanted to get each other's number and no one had a pen or cell phone at the time so I gave him my car's FOR SALE sign (well my mom's car sign)
Curtis was there on me and Dusty's second date...yeah it was the THREE of us just hanging at Curtis' house until he finally got sick of being the third wheel and kicked us out because he had to be to work the next day.
We would meet up with Curtis in San Felipe, Mexico. That is where we came up with calling him "CORTEZ" Since the sea in San Felipe is called the Sea of Cortez. We told Curtis that he was Cortez since Curtis in Spanish translates to CORTEZ. We got our little "Cortez" a few weeks after Curtis passed away so he is named after our Curtis.
We got to know Jason really well the Spring of 2005, Jason was a little bit older then us. He was my sister Lorrie's age and my cousin Austin's age. We went to San Felipe with Jason the spring of 2005. We all acorse had a blast and it was fun to get to know Jason.
Skip forward to November 2005, we again went to San Felipe, there were six of us who went that trip: Me, Dusty, Austin, Julie, Curtis and Jason. We had a blast! One night Austin and Julie stayed home and so me, Dusty, Curtis and Jason went into town for the night. We were all piled into Jason's truck. When Curtis put in PRINCE the Pretty Woman song. We all song our hearts out! My pictures that I have below are the last ones I had of our trip to San Felipe about a month before they passed away.
MISS YOU GUYS A LOT!

I can't believe it's already been three years, it seems like just recently we lost them.
This is a sweet tribute. That's awesome that you were able to have that little trip before they passed away. I love that you named your little dog Cortez...so cute.
John and I also miss Bert! I loved this post for John and I also met in the big brown van! Curtis was responsible for so many great things including bringing people together that may not have ever crossed paths. He had a special gift of being a great friend and person. It is nice to know trent and mel named their son after him. That little tyke has big shoes to fill and I am sure he will be able to with such great parents. xoxo Linds
