Giovanni Morales Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 6 to Feb. 8, 2023.
Giovanni Morales Jacksonville - Giovanni "Gio" Morales, 61, passed away peacefully and surrounded by his loved ones, on January 27, 2023.

Giovanni, born November 25, 1961, will be remembered for his love of life. He was vibrant and filled the room with his presence and infectious personality. He enjoyed every moment of life and inspired others to do the same. Giovanni embraced his daily adventures and included family and friends to share it with him. His many adventures included being on his boat and fishing, going to the beach, and travelling with his wife. He would often video-chat his family and close friends to immerse them in his various excursions. Giovanni loved the New York Yankees and the Florida State University Seminoles. However, he was most known for being a diehard fan of the Jaguars, never missing a game.

He was predeceased by his sister, Maritza and mother, Carmen. He is survived by his loving wife that he adored, Vicki Morales, Vicki's children Dana and Grant, daughter Patricia, sister Carmen, brother Leo, and many dear friends and family.

Siempre recordare a Gio por ser una excelente persona y gran amigo. Nunca habia conocido a alguien tan alegre y servicial como lo era Gio. Siempre se le recordada por su buen humor, alegria, fortaleza y amor por la vida. No olvidare tantos momentos que compartimos trabajando en Cocoa Beach, Louisiana y Panama City. Cada vez que escuche la cancion "Extrañandote" (Salsa/De Michel el buenon) lo recordare mas, pues era una de sus canciones favoritas.
Te extrañare mucho mi gran amigo!

Main man Mr. G, I had a hard time finding the words to say the day you gained your wings. It is a pretty big hole to fill. You were the life of the party. You were such an amazing man to my Auntie and always there for Dana and Grant. Thank you for loving them unconditionally! It was such a pleasure to see your light shine and see the adventures you went on. It was so nice to have a special conversation with you and we talked every day.

I miss you already. I promise to forever keep my promise as I know you are keeping yours! I can see you now fishing on the Double G boat with Gracelynn! Make sure you keep a good eye on her.

You were such a light in this world and I know you are a light in Heaven shining down!

We love you always Mr. G!

Gio gave me my first opportunity at my workplace. He was a good supervisor, always fair and impartial, and was a pleasure to work for. i can hear him calling my name as i sit here and type this...it always sounded like Raaabbit. i enjoyed fishing with him and am saddened by his passing. My prayers to his wife Vicki and all his family. Catch 'em up GIO you will be missed.
