Formerly of SOMERSET, NJ – It is with great sadness to announce the passing of
Curtis B. Hoggard, age 80, on Sunday, January 26, 2025. He was born to the late
Frances Cleggett and Curtis Berrard Hoggard, Sr. in Brooklyn, NY on October 22, 1944.
Curtis was born and raised in New York, moving to New Jersey in 1987. Through the
years, he enjoyed visiting family in Elizabeth City, North Carolina and Brooklyn, New
York. Curtis began his career in the criminal justice system, working for the Manhattan
District Attorney’s Office in various roles. His passion for helping people would continue
with roles at the NAACP and other non-profit organizations, before he ultimately
pursued a career in real estate until his retirement.
In his spare time, he enjoyed taking trips to Atlantic City and Las Vegas, enjoying the
ringing of the slot machines. A lover of westerns, tv shows of the 50s and 60s, and the
James Bond film series, he enjoyed the escape that television provided. Curtis enjoyed
spending time with his family along with a good meal and conversation with old friends.
A man of substance and style, you could always count on Curtis to be dressed to
perfection.
Curtis is survived by his two sons, Curtis Hoggard, III of Pennsylvania and Tramaine
Cooper of Virginia, along with a grandson Curtis Hoggard, IV. He is predeceased by his
wife Daphnie Walker Hoggard, his parents, his two brothers Rodeny and Michael, his
sister Francine, and his Aunt Barbara Russ.
In memory of Curtis, a Celebration of Life will be Saturday, February 8, 2025 from
1:00pm to 3:30pm at Cuoco Funeral & Cremation Services Funeral Home located at 10
