The Memorial 2026

Remembering Mike Currier

May 22–25, 2026 • Artesia Country Club • By Invitation Only

Mike Currier
Mike Currier
Mike Currier

Mike Currier, a lifelong Bulldog and community advocate, was born in Carlsbad and proudly raised in Artesia. For his career, Mike and his brother, Cliff, carried on the family’s multi-generation land title businesses, Guaranty Title and Currier Abstract. Throughout his life, he found the most joy in giving back to others, helping to build our communities, basking in the glow of Bulldog state championships, striving for a perfect swing, his friends and family, and a cold Coors Original. We lost Mike in 2023, but his legacy and love remain.
