Jozsef Morrissey Obituary
December 14, 1988 - May 11, 2025
Jozsef Morrissey passed away on May 11, 2025, due to a motorcycle accident in Dallas, Texas, while visiting a family member to ensure their comfort in later years.

Jozsef was born on December 14, 1988, in Mattoon, Ill., to Debra and Anthony Morrissey. Although he was never married, Jozsef had a large circle of friends who were more like family. He is survived by his mother; his brother and sister-in-law, Jerad and Amanda Morrissey of Bethany, along with their two children, Brylee and Evan; and his sister and brother-in-law, Deadra and Sebren Green of Los Angeles, Calif., and their son, Elyjah. He was preceded in death by his father.
Jozsef was a graduate of the Mattoon school system and subsequently enrolled in the Army, where he devoted four years of service and completed two tours as an Avionics Technician, earning the rank of Specialist. After his honorable discharge, Jozsef earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Illinois. His lifelong interests included mathematics, mechanics, and woodworking where his love for the design and relationship of independent parts could coalesce into useful objects. In the years preceding his death, Jozsef dedicated his time to creating his own programs.
