Services for Charles Curtis Calhoun, a retired Carrollton Fire Department
captain, will be at 1 p.m. Thursday at the First Baptist Church of Aubrey,

Mr. Calhoun, 55, died Sunday from complications of diabetes at Denton Regional

Mr. Calhoun was born Nov. 9, 1945, in Dallas. He graduated from R.L. Turner High

in December 1992. In his retirement, Mr. Calhoun enjoyed organic gardening and
raising longhorn cattle and appaloosa and paint horses on his land in Aubrey.
"As bad as [the diabetes] got, he never lost his sense of humor and still played
jokes on everybody," said his sister, Lillian Warren.
In addition to Ms. Warren of Kaufman, Mr. Calhoun is survived by his former
wife, Elda McCabe; daughters Dondria Hampton of Flower Mound, Annleia Briley of
Denton and Merisha Calhoun of Aubrey; brother, Marvin Calhoun of Trenton, Texas;
