John Morris Obituary
He was born October 11, 1945 in Cape Girardeau to John Thomas and Nadine Summerland Morris, Sr. He married Linda Seabaugh on April 27, 1968 in Cape Girardeau.
John worked for the Southeast Missourian for 15 years, he was head of maintenance for Green Acres Apartments for 22 years. He was the owner of Morris Bbq in Cape Girardeau and was well known for his delicious Bar b que.
He was a jack of all trades, nothing that he couldn't do from painting trucks, cooking, raising animals to building just about anything. He loved westerns and a good cup of coffee. He had a huge heart and dearly loved his family.
He is survived by his wife, Linda; a daughter, Dara Morris of Cape Girardeau and two grandchildren, Emily (Michael) Mathis and Shawn Amos. You may have loved us first but we will always love you last. We love you most of all Papa.
He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother and two sisters.
Celebration of life will be held at a later date.
