Tony Randall Curtis, 57, of Little Rock, passed away January 14, 2023 at 12:21 a.m. closing his hard-fought battle with brain cancer. He was born on May 24, 1965 in Little Rock, AR. At the age of six, he accepted Christ as his personal savior. Tony graduated from Sheridan High School in 1983. Tony had a love for the American Top 40, 80's music, four-legged friends and connecting loved ones to each other through "Find A Grave". Tony began his working life at Target and then The Gap, but most recently he was the proud owner of Tony Curtis Realtors. Tony had a love and passion for his work. When buying a home from Tony, it included a history lesson of the house and surrounding areas. Tony shared his knowledge about Little Rock's history with residents, potential residents, realtors, developers, journalists and city officials. Tony's love and passion for the historic district shined through his home 1221 S. Louisiana St. He took 30 years to lovingly restore his home, "The Samuel B. Kirby House" to perfection. Tony served on numerous boards of directors supporting historic preservation and redevelopment. He received many awards and recognition from the city, most recently, the Quapaw Quarter Association Board of Directors awarded him the Jimmy Strawn Award, "bestowed upon someone whose efforts on behalf of the preservation of greater Little Rock's architectural heritage are an inspiration to the entire community".
