ROBERT E. MORRIS Jr.

Robert E. Morris Jr. entered eternal rest surrounded by his loving family on Friday, June 29 after a nine year battle with cancer. During his 58 years of life he never wavered from his love and dedication to his family and friends and he will forever have a place in our hearts. A native Floridian he moved from St. Petersburg to Ormond Beach and attended Seabreeze Jr. High and Sr. High., graduating in 1972. He then attended Daytona Beach Community College receiving an A.A. in 1975 and was graduated from Stetson University in 1978 with a B.A. in business and accounting. From an early age, he worked side by side with his father in the company business R.E. Morris and Sons which he now leaves behind for his family to continue the legacy. When not working he could be found at the hand ball courts where he formed lasting friendships and was able to continue playing throughout all of his recent health battles. It is at the hand ball courts that he met his wife, Sandy and they shared 28 years of marriage and were blessed with three loving children, Tanya, Nicole and Michael and one grandchild, Maclin, born to Nicole several months ago. He is also survived by his mother, Betty Morris who he was dedicated to caring for since the loss of his father in 1996. Other family members include his brother Gary Morris, half sisters Linda Lyle and Marsha Hassel and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, July 7 at 10 AM at Ormond Beach Presbyterian Church, 105 Amsden R.d, Ormond Beach, FL 32176 to celebrate his life. Memorial donations may be made to the Halifax Humane Society.
