Morris Bridges Obituary
MORRIS BRIDGES JR.: Father, motorcyclist
Bridges, 41, had been with West's volunteer fire department for three years. His wife says his last words as he left home to fight the fertilizer plant fire were telling his infant son that he loved him and he'd be "right back." Bridges grew up in Dallas but lived in West. He loved to ride motorcycles and go fishing and camping. He is survived by his wife, Carmen, and three children.

I knew him personally, and I can honestly say my brother couldn't have asked for a better father-n-law.

Sorry for the loss of your loved one.
1 Cor. 1:9 In fact, we felt within ourselves that we had received the sentence of death. This was that we might have our trust, not in ourselves, but in the God who raises up the dead.

I am so sorry for the loss of Morris. I sat next to him and his little boy on a flight to St. Louis a few months back, and he left a lasting impression on me. Your family has constantly been in my thoughts and prayers.

Morris you will never be forgotten! How could we forget the guy that caught the biggest fish, that shot the furthest target, that killed the biggest deer that was pretty much the best at everything you did. I'm gonna miss that about you my friend. You were a true friend to me and my family. I will never forget the times we had as co-workers and friends. RIP Morris Bridges.

You were such a wonderful person. With a laugh that was contagious. I can still hear it. You were such a wonderful father and friend taken from this world too soon. You passed a true hero. Doing what you did naturally. Putting others before yourself. For that, I am forever proud to call you a friend. You will be deeply missed. My sincerest condolences to your family. May you rest in peace with our heavenly father.
