Morris led a life that was deeply enriched by his passions, particularly boating and fishing.

Morris's love for the water was evident; he cherished the tranquility of boating on the numerous lakes and rivers in Florida, where he often spent time fishing and enjoying the natural beauty around him. He loved to frequent the Amvets in Leesburg to join his buddies for a cold beer and a game of bar bingo.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother and wife. The loss of loved ones undoubtedly weighed heavily on him throughout his life, but he remained a resilient and engaging individual. Despite these losses, Morris built meaningful relationships that added to the richness of his life.
