Michael Dewayne Morris, 59, of Rossville, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Sunday, June 17, 2018 and truly celebrated a glorious Father’s Day, not only with his earthly father, Glen Morris, but also his heavenly Father.
He had lived in the North Georgia area for most of his life, attended Rossville High School and was a member of Victory Baptist Church.
He retired from Norfolk Southern after more than 23 years as a boilermaker and the railroad wasn’t just his job, it was his hobby. He was truly blessed to live his life to the fullest working his dream job.
He was a loving and devoted son, brother, husband and father, who will be truly missed by all who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Michelle Morris; infant brother, Christopher Morris; grandparents, Doc and Roberta Hise; and uncle, Donald Hise.
Survivors include his mother, Sherry Hise Morris; daughter, Michaela Morris; brother, Steve Morris; and numerous extended family and friends.
Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m. Thursday, June 21 in the Fort Oglethorpe Chapel, with Dr. Ernest Groce and Rev. Joe Dodd officiating. Burial will be private.
The family will receive friends from 4-8 p.m. on Wednesday and prior to the service on Thursday at the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to Victory Baptist Church - Missions Fund, in honor of Michael, 1013 LaFayette Road, Rossville, GA 30741 (706) 866-0371.
