James Morris, 74, passed away at the Pittsburgh Veteran's Hospital on March 14, 2026, comfortably in his sleep with his family around him.

Jim was survived by his son Matthew Swick; Matthew's mother Diane Swick; Brother Ed (Patricia) Morris; sister-in-law Patricia Morris; nieces and nephews Rebecca Weisz , Christopher (Laura) Morris, Stephen Morris; and other friends and relatives too numerous to mention by name.

Jim was preceded in his passing by his parents Charles J. Morris Sr. and Margaret (Smarsh) Morris; brother Charles J. Morris, Jr.; and his nephew Chuckie Morris.

Jim was a United States Navy veteran having served during the Vietnam war. He was always proud of his time spent on the aircraft carrier. He was a member of the Knights of Colombus, and served as an officer for the organization. Jim was a cheerful man, always willing to lend a hand when needed.
