Born in Easley, he was the son of the late Earl and Bernice Bagwell. He graduated from Easley High School Class of 1954 and attended Clemson University. After college, he worked at Thompson Dental Company until he joined Patterson Dental Company, where he served as general manager for the state of South Carolina until his retirement. After over 50 years in the dental industry, he continued to work with dentists throughout the upstate on a volunteer basis to assist with dental practice establishment, assessments, and management.

He was also a member of Edwards Road Baptist Church. He enjoyed spending time with his family at Garden City Beach, Rocky Bottom, and of course, rooting for the Clemson Tigers as a long-time member of IPTAY. Curtis loved college football, antique cars, and sharing stories about family history.

Mr. Bagwell is predeceased by his loving wife, Jimmie Davis Bagwell, and his younger brother, Dr. Benson Bagwell.

When I first got into the dental business, Curtis took me under his wing to guide me through all the ropes of the industry. Without his wealth of knowledge, I would not have become successful. He always had tine to work with me. He will truly be missed as an icon in the dental industry.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
