Following high school Myron enlisted in the United States Army, serving three years prior to his honorable discharge. Upon his return to Eagle Butte, Myron started work for the CRST Land Office in range management. In 1988, he went to work for the BIA as a home assistant for the Stepping Stone Program. 2005 led to some heath issues causing him to adjust his life. Over the last several years he worked for I.H.S. helping with patient transport until he retired in 2012.
In 1978, Myron met Mary Ellen Traversie, and together they had three children: James, Mariah, and Aaron. Myron continued his life in Eagle Butte where he was active in intermural sports and the community. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, especially any help he could offer to the church. He loved his family, spending time with his grandchildren, and rooting for his favorite football team; the Seattle Seahawks.
Myron is survived by his wife, Mary Ellen; his children: Aaron Runs After, James Curley and Mariah Jade Curley; grandchildren: Jordan, Rasool, and Sadie Curley, Alexander, Aaron Jr., Adonis, Sheridan and Mariam Runs After; brothers: Danny, Cecil Jr., Irving, and Keith Curly; sisters: Linda, Amelia, E. Rose, and Joan Curley and Melissa Jewett.

Myron was a dear friend of ours and a good man. He will be missed by all who loves him. Our sympathies go out to all Myron’s loved ones. John and Brenda Finn and family
So saddened to learn of Curley's passing. We were in basic training together at Ft. Leonardwood, Missouri, then we were stationed in Ft. Lewis, WA. We used to hang out with a guy named Tyler from Oklahoma, drinking brews, and raising just a tiny bit if hell. Myron was a soft spoken gentle soul. May he rest in peace and his spirit thrive for eternity.
