Joshua Morris Obituary
Joshua Alonzo Morris, 32, of Browns Valley, CA, passed away on January 9, 2021, in Garden Grove, California.
Josh was born in Yuba City, CA, to Tawnya Roberts and Fred Morris, on December 31, 1988. He graduated from Yuba City High School in 2007. He was involved in football, and wrestling, while attending YCHS, and has loved the Oakland Raiders and the LA Dodgers his entire life.
He worked many different jobs during his life, but Joshua was most proud of his certification in HVAC and worked many years in that industry. Joshua had a passion for cooking and was fortunate to have many opportunities to share his unique tastes with others as a sous chef in various restaurants in Southern California.
He married Bethany Ann Bridges, on October 31, 2018, in Sutter County at a private ceremony. Everyone that knew Josh saw that his boys were the light of his life and he loved that they looked just like him.
Josh enjoyed dressing up for Halloween in family themed costumes and decorating his home for the holiday. There are not enough words to explain how much he will be missed, and how deep the love for him is, and always will be.
Josh is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Bill and Peggy Morris; and maternal grandparents, Judy Griswold and Albert Roberts.
Josh is survived by his children, Jaxson Morris and Lincoln Bridges-Morris; his wife, Bethany Bridges; and stepchildren, Jackson and Ezekiel; father, Frederick Morris; mother, Tawnya Hoffman and stepfather, William Hoffman; sister, Stephanie Morris and her children Graeson and Addilynn Morris. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends.
