John (Johnny) Morris went to be with his Lord Jesus Christ on June 20, 2022. He leaves behind his loving wife Diane; children Amy Anderson, Lisa Ware, Laurie Taylor (Jim), Sheri Quispe (Roger) and Christi Myers; Grandchildren Jonathan and Laci Ware, Tyler Anderson, Andrew, Natalie, and Kayla Quispe, Coty Myers (Kelli) and Ryan Myers, Charlie, Alicia, and Amanda Beyer; Great-grandchildren Paige and Bailey Myers. Johnny is preceded in death by his brother Mickey Morris; daughter Tressa Muehl. Johnny was a warm loving person who was saved by grace through his faith in Jesus Christ. He was a gentle giant who loved to give great big bear hugs, and selflessly help others. He had a general knowledge of most subjects and knew how to fix about anything. Johnny was respectful of others, and, because of this, he had the respect of those who were in his life. Johnny spent most of his time with his best friend and wife, Diane. They both loved to be outdoors bow hunting, or just enjoying wildlife together. Johnny was a longtime, active member of the Mecklenburg County Wildlife Club.. Johnny was a proud member of Steele Creek Church of Charlotte; Johnny and Diane were a part of the church from its beginning when it was known as Jackson Park Ministry. Pastor Kelvin, the founding and current pastor, actually married the couple at the old church on January 28th, 1995.
Interment will follow at Forest Lawn West Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, thank you for donations to the American Heart Association: www.heart.org

My heart hurts. Johnny was a huge friend to our family and a huge part of my life in my earlier years being a single parent living with my parents. Diane and Johnny were the best of friends to my mom and step dad, Larry for the past 30+ years. For that, I am forever grateful. I loved seeing him in person at church and getting one of those big bear hugs. I actually got really happy when I saw them. He had a heart for everyone but especially a heart for Jesus. He loved well and served well. Our earth is a little darker without him in it. I take comfort that I will see him again in heaven. Diane, you are in my prayers as his girls are in my prayers.

Diane I am so very sorry for your loss. I keep thinking about the last conversation you and I had just a couple weeks ago before the trip. Johnny pulled over one morning after you came back and we talked. He always waved or blew the horn at me when he saw me walking. I saw him so often and I'm really going to miss him.My heart is aching for you.
