Curtis Marker

Curt Marker passed away on September 17, 2026, at 83 years young, leaving behind a legacy of love for his family, generosity toward others, and an enduring commitment to the students and schools of Henderson County.

After a 31-year career with Exxon Corporation, Curt and his wife, Susan, retired to Hendersonville, North Carolina, in 1998. He quickly fell in love with the town, its people, and the Champion Hills golf course.

After retiring to Hendersonville, Curt realized that he still wanted to be involved in work that offered both purpose and challenge.

Curt established the Marker Science Scholarship, which ultimately helped seven Henderson County students attend college for four years. Through this scholarship, he provided students with meaningful opportunities to pursue higher education and build their futures.
