Mr. Bass was born on October 31, 1945 in Jackson, Mississippi to Curtis Truett and Mable Ellzey Bass.  He grew up in Jefferson Davis County and graduated from Prentiss High School. Following graduation, he enrolled at Pearl River Community College.    

Curtis' journey in law enforcement began when he joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a Security Clerk in New Orleans. His commitment and dedication to his work quickly became evident, paving the way for a successful career. After his time with the FBI, Curtis embarked on an illustrious tenure with the Jackson Police Department. For over two decades, he served the community diligently, ensuring safety and security for its residents. His exceptional professionalism and unwavering integrity earned him the respect and admiration of both his colleagues and the community he served.
Upon retirement from the Jackson Police Department, Curtis continued his commitment to public service by joining the Mississippi Department of Public Safety. His valuable contributions during his years of service further solidified his reputation as a reliable and competent law enforcement professional. Not only did Curtis serve his community on the professional front, but he also dedicated several years to the Mississippi National Guard, where he served honorably. His commitment to protecting and serving his country showcased his patriotism and selflessness.

Beyond law enforcement and family life, Curtis had a deep interest in history, particularly relating to military affairs and law enforcement. In his leisure time, he could often be found engrossed in books that explored these topics. 

While Curtis was dedicated to his profession, it was absolutely his love for family that truly defined him as a person. He cherished every moment spent with his loved ones and adored his grandchildren immensely.  Mr. Bass will be remembered as a devoted family man, respected law enforcement officer, and a patriot who dedicated his life to the service of others. His unwavering dedication, integrity, and love for his family serve as an inspiration to all who knew him.
