Vaughan-Guynn Funeral Home - Galax Obituary

It is with great love, affection, and sadness that we announce the unexpected death of Frank E. Morris of Galax, Virginia on Sunday evening February 3, 2013. Frank was 72 years old. He was the son of the late Tom and Louise Morris, and was preceded in death by his daughter Kelly Morris.

He leaves behind his devoted wife and dear companion, Carol P. Morris. His daughter Chris and her husband, Danny Everett, of Buford, GA; his son, Edward Lee Morris of Highpoint, NC. He is survived by eight grandchildren: Cole Everett, Grace Everett, Keri and Brandon Green, Daniel and Lisa Morris, Katie Kegley, Ben Kegley, Zoe McQueen, and Ivy McQueen. Step daughter and step-son-in-law Kendall and Andrew McQueen of Ottawa, Canada, and step-son, Jay Kegley of Greensboro, NC. One brother, Johnny Morris and his wife Dru of Morgantown, NC, and sister and brother-in-law Betty Lou and Johnny Johnson of Radford, VA, and sister Sara Funk of Radford also survive him.

Frank lived most of his life in Galax, and contributed greatly to his community throughout his entire life. He had a long career at American Mirror Company. His easy charm, honesty and integrity made him a favorite of clients and colleagues alike. He leaves behind some very special friends, Thelma Poe, Alma McKinsey, and Robert Boyles.

Frank was a natural athlete and excelled at all sports from football, to golf and tennis. To honor his love of community and sports his family is asking that in lieu of flowers contributions be made to the Galax Foundation for Excellence in Education Fund P.O. Box 487 Galax, Virginia 24333 to fund a Frank E. Morris sports scholarship.

The family will receive visitors Tuesday evening from 6:00 to 8:00p.m. at Vaughan Guynn Funeral Home, and the funeral service will take place on Wednesday, February 6 at 1:00 PM at the First Christian Church with Rev. Sam Bartlett officiating.
