Morton was born in Plainview, Texas on July 22, 1982, to Raymond Saenz and Beatrice (Garcia) Saenz. He worked as a truck driver and mechanic. He met Monica Varela and they were together for twenty years until they got married on May 15, 2021, Plainview.

Morton was known as a family man, a character, and a jokester, who loved to make people laugh. He loved his family, friends and never met a stranger, and it showed by always giving a helping hand to anyone that needed it. When he was not working or helping someone, he enjoyed spending time camping, fishing, and dancing.

He is preceded in death by his father, Raymond Saenz.

Morton is survived by his wife, Monica Saenz; four sons: Mason Saenz, Preston Saenz, Malachi Delapaz, and Alize Delapaz; four daughters: Reba Saenz, Celecia Saenz, Zabree Orona, and Mariah Delapaz; nine grandchildren; his Mother, Beatrice Saenz of Plainview; maternal grandmother, Tina Arebeulo of Plainview; four brothers: Raymond Garcia, John Saenz, Abel Rodriguez, and Jonathan Alonzo; and four sisters: Rhonda Diaz, Sabrina Mazariegos, Diana Saenz, and Yolanda Saenz.
