He was preceded in death by his parents: James T. and Edna Morris; his brothers:  Riley Morris and Joe Morris; his sisters:  Ira Mae Mull, Louise Morgan and Allie McAlister.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory his beloved wife of 63 years,  Jennie Brock Morris; his sister, Ruth Wilson; his children, Angela (Kirk) Gardner and Randy (Kalin) Morris; his grandchildren, Emily Gardner, Kyle (Candace) Gardner and Taylor Andrew Morris and one great-grandchild:  Ashton Lafferty.
