Curtis Gene Timmermann 

January 7, 1928 - March 7, 2025 

Curtis Gene Timmermann, 97, passed away March 7, 2025 in New Braunfels, Texas after a lifetime of love and service to others. He was born January 7, 1928 in New Braunfels to parents Otto Timmermann, Jr. and Stella Schmidt Timmermann and was raised on the family farm near Clear Springs. He found the love of his life and married Dorothy Louise Wolle on April 8, 1950 and they were married for 63 years. Together they raised four children. He was also blessed to be married to Annie Lee (Barth) Timmermann for 8 years.

Curtis attended Clear Springs school, New Braunfels High School and graduated from Texas A&M College in 1949 with a degree in Animal Husbandry. While at A&M, he was recognized as a Distinguished Student, and Distinguished Military Graduate. He loved being a Texas Aggie and supporting it in many different ways. In May of this year, his family and Texas A&M recognized his 75th graduation anniversary. Twelve kids, grandkids and in-laws celebrated being Aggies with him. He will long be remembered for sporting his Aggie shirts and ball caps wherever he went.

Curtis was fully devoted and fully committed to his many roles, including family, worship of Jesus Christ, serving his country, assisting his clients, and supporting the next generations behind him. Upon his graduation he received a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army Reserves. He retired in 1970 with the rank of Major after completion of 20 years of service in the Texas National Guard. During those years, he served as Battery Commander in Seguin, Gonzales and New Braunfels.

Curtis also made many lifelong friends in Guadalupe and Comal counties while working to serve their insurance needs as Agency Manager for Texas Farm Bureau Insurance in Seguin. He was a Lifetime Member (65+ years) of the Kiwanis Club in Seguin serving as President and on various committees and events for as long as he was physically able. While he enjoyed so many aspects of being in Kiwanis Club and the friendships he made there, one of the highlights was being a sponsor/advisor to the Seguin High School Key Club. He was always known to be willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

Curtis’ greatest joy was his family. The fruits of his Christian spirit and faith were constantly on display as he lived out his long life. While seldom seeking the spotlight, his gentlemanly nature and thankful heart will serve as a constant reminder to the faithful legacy that he leaves behind. Curtis is survived by his four children Debbie Miller (Murray) of San Antonio, Jeanie Timmermann of Corpus Christi, Gary Timmermann (Laura) of New Braunfels and David Timmermann (Lisa) of San Antonio; eight grandchildren Shannon Flowers (Michael), Sarah Watson (Danny), Jason Miller (Antoinette), Dustin Timmermann, Lindsay Picker (Matthias), Aaron Timmermann (Kelly), Amanda Tarpley (Jeremy) and Kyle Timmermann (Shelby). He is also survived by 18 great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
