Gerald Morris Obituary

Chief Gerald Paul Morris has 'Transitioned back to Spirit'. Morris was an ever-present and earthly anchor for his children Angel and Joy (Godchild Sharon), his grandchildren Tyrone, LeVon, Joy and Treasure and great grandson D'Angelo.
We thank our family, his beloved 'Socialites of VFW' and friends at Shoppers for reciprocating his magnetic love.
A traditional Creole Celebration acknowledging his earthly transition and celebrating his life will be forthcoming.
Life is for the Living - Love You by Chief Morris

"LIFE IS FOR THE LIVING"! He would always say. He would ask me everyday that I see him. "ARE YOU READY?" I would say "Am I ready for what Mr. Gerald? " "It's GOING TO BE HOT THIS WEEK"! He would say. No matter the weather he just wanted me to live life. Whether it's going swimming or building a snow man. Even making snow angels. He planted a seed in me I will always remember.... I love you Mr. Gerald

Morris,
You were my first dance partner at the Elks; always smiling and saying pleasant things. Your favorite expression, " Life is for the living" will always be a part of my memories of you. I will never forget your kindness and support.
You will be missed.
