A few chapters of his life
October 13, 1940 – April 13, 2026
Born in Bakersfield, California, to Harry Newton Morris and Thelma Jean Hart. He spent his early years in Bass Lake, near Yosemite, with his grandmother Edna Sullivan Jackson, whom he called “Mother Babe.”
He later moved to Fresno, graduated from Roosevelt High School, attended Fresno State College, and served in the United States Navy.
His work included sales, insurance, real estate, and business ownership. He founded R. L. Morris and Associates in Colorado and later owned two restaurants in Torrey, Utah.
Dad married Carol in 1989, and he loved her like crazy. His two stepsons with Carol were Bradly Henke and Brian Henke. The memorial records 24 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren at the time of his passing.
The memorial describes his involvement in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including service in the Portland Oregon and St. George Utah temples.
He passed away at home in Trout Creek on April 13, 2026, at the age of 85.
These details come from the memorial and family recollections shared by Steven. This outline leaves room for each family member’s own memories and perspective.
