Michael Ray Morris

With a heavy heart, we share the news of the passing of Michael Ray Morris on October 8, 2025, at the age of 73. Born on June 5, 1952, in Snyder, Texas, Michael was a loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, whose faith and warmth brought joy to all who knew him.

Michael is survived by his cherished children: Randy Morris (Donna), Richard Morris, and Skylar Hart (Brad). He is also survived by his sister, Peggy Koenig (Randy). Michael's legacy will live on through his grandchildren—Lance Morris, Austin Morris, Logan Morris, Hailey Morris, Lacy Morris, Maddie Hart, Callie Hart—as well as his eight great-grandchildren, who adored him and will carry his memory in their hearts. Michael also leaves behind two very special lifelong friends, Mary Ford and Billy Burns.

He is preceded in death by wife Debbie Ford Morris and special friend Toby Rinehart Morris, who were the loves of his life; his son, Eldon Morris; his great-grandchild, Kannon Morris; his sister, Sue Rogers; and his parents, Eldon and Bonnie Morris. Michael’s family was everything to him, and he was known for his unwavering faith and encouragement.

Michael lived every day with a zest for life that inspired everyone around him. He found joy in life’s simple pleasures; cheering on his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren at their sporting events, casting a line while fishing, or hunting for the best bargains in town. Each of these moments reflected his appreciation for the blessings God placed in his path.

His faith was unwavering, a light that shone brightly wherever he went. Michael never met a stranger, only people who needed to hear the Word of God. Through his kindness, his words of encouragement, and the scriptures he shared, he touched countless lives. Many carry his faith-filled words in their hearts to this day.

To know Michael was to know warmth, generosity, and faith in action. His legacy will live on in the lives he touched and the love he so freely gave.

A celebration of Michael’s life will take place in the coming days, where family and friends will gather to share stories, laughter, and tears as we honor a man who meant so much to so many. Details regarding the funeral services will be announced shortly, and we invite all who knew him to join us in commemorating a life well-lived.

Gone but never forgotten, Michael’s spirit will continue to resonate in the hearts of those he touched. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor his memory by sharing God’s love with others, just as he always did.
