Spencer Curry

Spencer Tennant Curry arrived seven weeks early on this earth and left early too, age 33, June 12, 2022. Born in Pasadena, CA on Jan 30, 1989, Spencer had been a resident of Glastonbury for the last 30 years, recently moving to East Hartford.

He was predeceased by his great-grandmother, Margaret Karassik; grandparents, Norma and Frank Curry and Irwin Karassik. He has left behind his loving parents Beth Karassik and her partner, Gary LeBeau, and Ron Curry and his wife, Nancy Nesbitt of Glastonbury; his brother, Sam of South Windsor; his step-brother Ryan Riddle of New Haven, step-sisters Amy Riddle of New Haven and Taylor Scirocco of West Hartford; grandmother, Harriet Karassik of Norwalk; aunts and uncles Lauren and Stephen Weiss of Florham Park, NJ and Julianne Curry and Michael Drake of Glendora, CA; and cousins Lindsay of Los Angeles and Shelby Weiss of London; and a myriad of loving and loyal friends.

Spencer graduated from Glastonbury High School in 2007 and the University of Vermont in 2011, with a double major in Latin and Philosophy. Along with three elementary school friends, he was the founder of Fresh Farm Aquaponics, later named Trifecta Ecosystems. He would explain to people that he majored in Latin and Philosophy, “so now I’m a farmer.” Still a farm owner, he had more recently moved into work in coding as an app developer and IT Consultant at Curry Web Services.

Spencer had the heart of an artist and the mind of a visionary. He was a teacher, researcher, and philosopher at heart. He had to get to the facts, had to have things proven. He had an incredible power for synthesizing information and understanding systems. Spencer would not succumb to the conventional thinking of the masses. He died unexpectedly on June 12, 2022 and the world will never see what this beautiful young man would have continued to bring to it.

Funeral service will be Thursday, June 16, 2022 at 1 pm at the D’Esopo-East Hartford Memorial Chapel, 30 Carter Street, East Hartford. Burial will follow at Green Cemetery, 99 Hubbard Street, Glastonbury. There are no calling hours. For online expressions of sympathy to the family, please visit www.desopoeh.com.
