William Joseph Curry

William "Will" Joseph Curry, 51, of Sedalia, MO, passed away on Friday, August 30, 2024, at his home from heart failure. He was born on December 17, 1972, in Columbia, MO, the son of Garry W. Curry, who preceded him in death, and Wanda L. (Rogers) Rasa (Alva), who resides in Sedalia.

Will lived most of his adolescent and teenage years in Searcy, Arkansas. His favorite trips were to Sedalia on Saturdays, where Classic Car Club Nights were held at Eddies Drive Inn. He pursued his passion after completing high school by furthering his education at Foothills Vo-Tech as an auto body technician. His artistic abilities helped him refine his skills with a passion for working and creating. In his younger years, he met the love of his life, married too young, divorced, and never married again.

In addition to his mother and stepdad, Will is survived by his biological sister, Shellie Curry, and an adopted sister, Amanda Rasa; two nephews; a niece; and their families.

In addition to his father, Will was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Floyd and Lucille (Robertson) Rogers, and his paternal grandparents, William J and Genevieve (Reed) Curry.

A private memorial gathering will be announced by the family at a later date.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Sedalia Animal Shelter. Anyone very close to Will knew he and his dog, Niko, were inseparable. His biggest worry was leaving his dog behind.

Cremation arrangements are in the care of Rea Funeral Chapel.
