Curtiss J. (Cud) Cheskey, age 73, of Mobridge passed away on August 23, 2014 in Rapid City, SD with family by his side. He was born in Mobridge, SD on March 19, 1941 along with his twin brother Willis (Wood) to Wayne and Maxine (Schlepp) Cheskey of Selby, SD.

Cud always put the wants and needs of his family ahead of his own. He was a kind, soft-spoken, compassionate man. He had a soft spot for his 5 granddaughters and was extremely proud of their accomplishments.
He had varied interests including fixing up old cars, going to horse sales and rodeos and going to coffee with his friends. He was a member of the Klein Museum Board, past president of the Mobridge Rodeo Association, past Grand Marshall of the Sitting Bull Stampede and member of the Trinity Lutheran Church.
