Curtis Adams Sears

Curtis Adams Sears, 66, passed away peacefully in his home on July 4, 2018, surrounded by his loving family. Curtis was born in Pittsfield, MA to Doris Irene and Frank Lewis Sears on August 30, 1951.

He ran across Scotland from coast to coast and, in addition to numerous other footraces, completed 49 marathons throughout the United States, including four Boston Marathons.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Michelle Sears; his children, Benjamin Brewster Sears, Timothy Monroe Sears, Anna Trinity Sears, and Virginia Belle Sears; his siblings Frank Lewis Sears, Jr., Carol Ann Blake, and Lucinda Brooks Croce (twin sister).
