MIDDLEPORT – Charles R. Morris Jr., 70, passed away on Friday, May 14, 2021, at the Holzer Medical Center.

He was born in Toledo on Sept. 18, 1950. He was the son of Charles and Myrtle A. Bodi, who both preceded him in death; along with his wife, Joyce Ann (Perrit) Morris, and his brothers, Harley and Kenneth Morris.

Chuck was a long-distance truck driver most of his life. He was also certified in HVAC and a master mechanic. He loved working on souped-up hot rods and Harley-Davidsons. He was an active member of The Avenger Motorcycle Club - Lancaster Chapter and enjoyed riding with his brothers. He was a die-hard Patriots fan and had a great sense of humor. He was always making people laugh. Chuck would give you the shirt off his back, and he was a family man. He loved his wife Joyce very much and protected her and his family. He loved being with them, especially for the holidays.

He is survived by his children, Charles R. (Lisa) Morris III of North Carolina, Pamela Ruth (Keith) Wilburn of Northwood, Shawn Morris (Brandy Smith) of Toledo, Myrtle “Candy” Parker of Dayton and Eric Morris of Middleport; his 13 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren; brothers, Stanley of Tennessee, Howard of Gambier and Donald and Douglas Morris of Mount Vernon; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
