Dwayne Morrow Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Caring Cremations - Chicago on Feb. 19, 2026.
With heavy hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of Dwayne Shawn Morrow, who departed this life on February 16, 2026, at the age of 58. Dwayne was a beloved father, brother, uncle, and friend whose presence brought strength, laughter, and unwavering love to those around him.

Dwayne lived a life rooted in family and connection. He was a devoted father who cherished his children, Rayven Morrow and Isaac Morrow (Giovanni Ridgeway), and took pride in the people they have become. His love for them was constant, steady, and immeasurable.

He is lovingly remembered by his sisters, Crystal Pritchard (Scott Pritchard), Cerelia Goudeau (Lamont Goudeau), and Ursula Kelley (Durrell Kelley), who shared with him a lifetime of memories, support, and enduring sibling bonds. Their connection was one of strength, laughter, and unconditional love.

Dwayne also leaves behind a cherished niece, Winter Turner; five nephews, Hasani Morrow (A'ja Morrow), Wezley Turner (Gabrielle Turner), Brandon Goudeau, John Carter, Joshua Carter, and Ashton Goudeau; and one beloved great-niece, Onyx Morrow. He held a special place in each of their lives, offering guidance, humor, and a quiet strength that will never be forgotten.

Dwayne's legacy is one of love, resilience, and devotion to family. Though his time here has come to an end, his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

As we continue to honor his life and legacy, we remember the many layers of the man he was.

He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Robert & Barbara Morrow, whose love and foundation helped shape the incredible person so many of us were blessed to know.

In 2017, he proudly earned his Master's degree in Social Work, dedicating his life to uplifting, guiding, and supporting others with compassion and purpose. His heart for people was evident in every life he touched.

Most importantly, he accepted Christ at a young age. Sharing the importance of faith and encouraging others to accept Christ became the mantle he carried with strength and conviction until his very last breath. His walk with God was not just something he spoke about - it was something he lived daily, pouring love, grace, and truth into everyone around him.

His legacy of faith, service, and love will continue to live on through all who were blessed to know him.
