In Loving Memory of Curtis Leaverton — A True Champion of the Vintage Motocross Community
With deep sadness and heavy hearts, we mourn the passing of Curtis Leaverton — a beloved figure in the vintage motocross world, a valued sponsor of VMXQ&A, and the proud owner of Vintco. Curtis’s unexpected departure is a tremendous loss to his family, friends, and the entire motocross community, where his passion, generosity, and dedication left a lasting mark.
Curtis was far more than a business owner or supplier; he was a true enthusiast, a trusted partner, and a steadfast supporter of riders and collectors around the world. Through Vintco, Curtis provided not only quality parts but also the kind of honest service and integrity that set him apart. He played a pivotal role in keeping vintage motocross alive and thriving — offering parts that allowed classic bikes to race again, and supporting events and platforms that brought the community together.
His work wasn’t just about business; it was about preserving a shared passion and fostering connections among riders, restorers, and fans of the sport. Curtis understood the heart of the motocross community — its history, its camaraderie, and its enduring spirit — and he gave so much of himself to nurture and grow that legacy.
As a sponsor of VMXQ&A, Curtis was more than a name on a banner. He believed in supporting those who supported the sport. His partnership and commitment were rooted in genuine care for the community and the people who make it special. Countless enthusiasts benefited from his expertise, his kindness, and his unwavering belief in the value of preserving motocross history.
Those who had the privilege of knowing Curtis personally speak of a man with a big heart, an infectious enthusiasm, and a spirit of generosity. He approached business and life with authenticity, treating customers like friends and competitors like family. His passion extended far beyond parts — it was about the people, the shared stories, and the love of a sport that brought so many together.
Curtis’s passing leaves a void that will be felt across the vintage motocross world. The legacy he leaves — as a supplier, a sponsor, a friend, and a true champion of the sport — will continue to inspire and uplift the community he cared for so deeply.
To Curtis’s family, friends, and the entire Vintco team, we offer our heartfelt condolences. The community stands with you in grief, grateful for the countless ways Curtis enriched our lives and strengthened our shared passion.
Rest in peace, Curtis Leaverton.
Your legacy rides on every restored bike, every cherished race, and in the hearts of a community forever thankful for your passion and your friendship.
