In Loving Memory of

Kenneth D Curry

Founder

(September 13, 1958 – June 26, 2008)

Kenneth Curry, affectionately known as “Danny” by his family and close friends, was a visionary, educator, and prolific writer whose legacy continues to inspire generations. In 2003, he founded Curry Brothers Publishing, driven by his deep passion for storytelling and his unwavering belief in the power of literature to educate, uplift, and preserve culture.


Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and West Palm Beach, Florida, Kenneth’s love for the arts began early. While in high school, he immersed himself in creative writing and filmmaking, developing the skills that would later define his life’s work. An avid reader and gifted storyteller, he wrote and published over 26 books, leaving behind a literary footprint that still resonates today. His premier published title, The Legend of the Dancing Trees, is a beloved children’s story rooted in African American folklore, a testament to his commitment to preserving and sharing cultural heritage through storytelling.


Kenneth was also a dedicated educator. He earned both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Music Education from Tennessee State University and went on to share his knowledge and passion for music with students of all ages. He taught instrumental and general music at the elementary, middle, high school, and university levels, enriching countless lives through the universal language of music.


Beyond his professional achievements, Kenneth was a devoted husband to Wilma Mosley-Curry until his untimely passing. Though he is no longer with us, his vision, leadership, and unwavering commitment to education and storytelling remain at the heart of Curry Brothers Publishing.
