Charles Henry "Chuck" Morris born April 26, 1941 in Rome, Georgia passed away peacefully in his home on February 24, 2023. Preceded in death by his parents, Charles Glenn Morris and Edna Elizabeth Morris (née Nelson). Survived by his wife of 61 years, Linda Morris; his children Charles Morris, Sue (Chad Wilkins) Woodard, and Steve (Dana) Morris; his grandchildren Emily (Ryan) O'Neil, Marryn Morris, and Rhys Morris; and his sister Louise (David) Yarborough. Charles was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, friend, but first and foremost a committed follower of Christ. Charles and Linda were high school sweethearts and married on February 16, 1962. After graduating from Georgia Tech with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, he took a job in Minnesota with Control Data where he worked for over three decades. He finished his career at a local company, Micro Control. Charles was a family man who prioritized his wife, children, and grandchildren, supporting them in their endeavors, challenges, and accomplishments. Throughout his life, Charles and Linda enjoyed the outdoors, taking their children on innumerable camping, hiking, and fishing trips. Both were avid bird and wildflower enthusiasts. Later in life, they took special pleasure in acquainting their grandchildren with the outdoors. He formed many deep friendships and was appreciated for his wisdom, empathy, and ability to listen. Charles was strong in his Christian faith and active in several churches throughout his life. He led a worship service for campers at William O'Brien State Park for 18 years and was a faithful member of Bethlehem Baptist/The North Church for the last three decades. Charles found special value in his relationship with the L'Abri Fellowship. He considered his first encounter with them as one of the most meaningful experiences in his life as this strengthened his Christian faith. He was grateful for the hospitality extended by the American Cancer Hope Lodge during his treatments at the Mayo Clinic. Charles was also proud of his family heritage in Euharlee Georgia where his family has lived for generations.
