Obituary for Eugene “Chris” Morris
Eugene C. Morris aka “Gene” or “Chris”
Born April 8, 1961, died September 22, 2016 at his home unexpectedly at the age of 55.
He is a lifelong resident of Tampa and enjoyed the diversity the area offered. He loved science fiction, non-fiction, movies, books, music, knowledge, family, friends and a good conversation.
He was a unique individual that did not change to please someone. He worked hard and was a good employee. He lived modestly to pursue things which peaked his interest. He was a member of Friends of the Library and wrote book reviews, was a brown belt in Kung Fu, fed stray cats, wrote a novel, pondered the vastness of the universe and searched for spiritual truths.
He is preceded in death by grandparents, Eugene L. Webb, Edith “DeeDee” Webb, Henry Eugene Doyle.
He is survived by his grandmother Opal Doyle, parents Cleveland W. Morris and Louise Webb Morris; brother Cleveland Craig Morris sisters Lynette Love and her husband Dennis Love, S. G.Morris, ConnieLynn Gonzalez and her husband Chris Gonzalez, nieces and nephews Carmen Fowler Welbon, Aaron Fowler, Cameron Love Novak, Ann Gonzalez, Marie Gonzalez Caraway.
He will be missed by his family, friends, and the love of his life Mary Jane Watson .
A memorial gathering will be held with the time and place to be determined.
