Anne Curtis, Jasmine Curtis-Smith announce passing of father James

Anne Curtis took to social media to announce the death of her father, James Curtis Smith.

In a joint Instagram post with sisters Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Charley Smith, Anne delivered the news of the “unexpected yet peaceful” passing of James. He was 82.

“A true patriarch in every sense, he shaped us with strength, resilience, and a wit that will forever echo in our family,” she wrote.

“He was deeply loved, endlessly admired, and will live on in our hearts always,” she added. “We will miss him dearly.”

The cause of death has yet to be revealed as of writing.

In 2023, James held an intimate 80th birthday celebration with his family in La Union.

Anne, her husband, Erwan Heussaff, and their daughter, Dahlia, were present on the occasion. Jasmine Curtis Smith and Anne's half-siblings were also there with their children.
