Iron Mountain- George Kevin Curran, 74, of Niagara, WI passed away on Saturday November 2, 2024, at Oscar G Johnson VA Medical Center, Iron Mountain, MI.

George was born on August 25, 1950, in Escanaba MI, son of the late John and Lorraine (Jolicoeur) Curran.

Shortly after he graduated from Escanaba High School, George was drafted into the United States Army where he served in Vietnam. After his discharge from the Army, George came back home to Escanaba and in 1972, married his high school sweetheart, Debbie Johnson. George helped with the building of the Billerud (formerly Champion) Papermill. Upon completion of the mill, George was hired to work in the store room, so he relocated his family to Niagara, WI in 1985. George worked his way up to Materials Manager before retiring in the late 2000's.

George was a loyal sports fan, always rooting for the Green Bay Packers and the Wisconsin Badgers. He played as a catcher on his high school baseball team and later in various adult leagues. As his children grew up, George coached them, along with other Niagara athletes, in soccer and basketball. He was a diligent griller, avid reader, and loved traveling. George was first and foremost a provider for his family.

Survivors include his wife, Debbie Curran; son, Nick (Natacha Eustache) Curran; daughter, Jennifer (Brad) Houle; brother, Mark Curran; sister, Connie (Mike) Cousineau; and grandchildren, Tristan Eustache and Hailey Houle.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, John Brian Curran.

The family will be having a Celebration of Life for George in the Summer of 2025.
