Morris Harper Obituary
Chop was a man of many talents and trades. He spent 40 years in the field of construction. He worked as a framer for several years before spending twelve years in the field of underground utilities. Later, he devoted countless hours to his craft as a painter, leaving behind a legacy of hard work and skill in each project he undertook.
A true lover of nature, Chop found joy in yard work, fishing, and being outdoors. His passion for home projects showcased his creativity and dedication. But perhaps his greatest joy came from being with his family and friends, always seeking to make those around him happy. Chop truly was a wonderful person-a devoted brother and friend, generous to everyone he met, and kind to all. He never met a stranger, and everyone who knew him loved him dearly.
Chop was a devout Christian, and his love for the Lord shined brightly through his actions and words. His faith was a cornerstone of his life, guiding him with strength and compassion.
He is preceded in death by his father Wayne Harper, mother Dollie Harper, and brother Michael Hardison. He leaves behind to cherish his memory his brothers David Harper and Darryl Harper (Angela), sisters Rebecca Ange (David) and Fay Reams, uncle Elwood Hardison, nieces Amanda Racine and Stephanie Hardison, and many other beloved family members and friends who will miss him dearly.
The family will be notifying friends and family through social media and phone about the arrangements for his celebration of life.
Chop's generous spirit, unwavering kindness, and ability to bring happiness to others will forever be remembered. He was an awesome brother and friend, a beacon of love and generosity, and his legacy will live on in the hearts of all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

I remember my cousin Morris as I knew him, mostly when we were rascally kids-some dare say we all never stopped being rascally; I know I've yet to! My brother Steve, Morris, David, Darryl, and my favorite, Becky all having a blast hunting Easter eggs at their home in Foundation Park. My aunt Dollie saw to it that even it was raining heavily that particular Easter Sunday back in the 1970s, she along with my mother managed to save the day by hiding all of our beautifully hand-dyed eggs throughout their home in Foundation Park ;-) Matter of fact, I recall they had corralled us all into one place in the kitchen/or living room.. memory fades as to exact spot and told not to move until all the eggs had been hidden. Wouldn't you know it; we wound up having the best Easter egg hunt. The only two hunts I actually remember as a kid was the one in Foundation Park and one in Kinston, NC out in Uncle Tom and aunt Margaret's front yard---and sandspurs sticking into our little socks that hurt like hell!!
OUCH!!!!hahaha. We always think it's the carefully planned moments remembered most-- we do; but in the end, it's unplanned ones we wind up remembering most fondly. Heck, reading his obit just now makes me wish our paths had crossed more often into our adult lives. Rest in peace cousin. Cousin, Mark
