Jimmie Dean Morris, affectionately known as Jimbo to his loved ones, passed away on April 28, 2025. Jimmie was born on October 12, 1952, in South Bend, Indiana. The third of five sons, Jimmie was special and the apple of his parents eye.
Jimmie had a limitless imagination and was very creative. Jimbo enjoyed drawing, collecting action figures, and had a special connection with animals. He especially enjoyed Halloween and always decorated the home to the extent of what his mother would allow.
Jimbo was a lifelong resident of Buchanan, Michigan, except for the last few years where he lived at Woodland Terrace, Niles, Michigan with his father. When he was younger, Jimbo enjoyed roughhousing and fishing with his 4 brothers.
Jimmie is survived by his father, Jimmie Morris, and his brothers, Brad (Laura) Morris, and Gary Morris. He was preceded in death by his mother, Dorothy Morris, and his brothers, Lanny and Daryl Morris. His memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved him, like the glow of a Jack-o'-lantern on a crisp, autumn night.
Please join us in celebrating Jimmie's life by sharing your memories and photos of him on the memorial page. In the words of Dr. Seuss, "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." Let's honor Jimmie's memory by sharing the joy he brought into our lives.
The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Woodland Terrace, Niles, for the exceptional care they provided for Jimbo.
