Born in Dyess, Arkansas
George Edward Morris, 89, of Kingston, passed away Monday, July 27, 2026, at Washington Regional Medical Center, in Fayetteville. He was born Thursday, October 29, 1936, at Dyess, Arkansas; to George Lee and Capitola Gibson Morris. George married the love of his life, Dolores June Ivy, on September 4, 1959, in Oakland, California. Together, they built a loving family and were blessed with two children, Mike and Keri.
George worked for many years as a Construction Superintendent for Kiewitt Construction, where he took great pride in his work. Above all, George was a devoted husband, father, and family man. He adored Dolores and cherished their life together. Even after her passing in November 2015, he never failed to wish her a good night, a tender reflection of the love he carried for her throughout his life.
George loved sharing stories, especially memories from his years of military service and his time in Guam. His stories brought laughter and warmth to those around him, including the unforgettable tale of how he once fibbed about his age so he could join the military. He also had a well-known sweet tooth and enjoyed sweets, cookies, and cakes, black licorice, and especially his daughter-in-law Tori’s cinnamon rolls. He had a special place in his heart for his beloved fur babies, Buddy, Kiki, and Lexie, who brought him much happiness.
George’s greatest joy was his family. He loved deeply, cared always, and made sure those he loved knew they mattered. He will be remembered as a wonderful father, a devoted husband, and, in the hearts of his family, the best daddy ever. His love and gentle presence will be deeply missed.
George was preceded in death by his wife, Dolores Morris; his parents, George and Capitola Morris; two siblings, Norma Jean Meuller and Don Morris; and his grandson, Jamie.
He also leaves behind five grandchildren, Nicole, Joey, Brad, Joseph, and Anthony; and three great-grandchildren, Jaylyn, Dominic, and Lily. The family will receive friends from 9:00 AM-10:00 AM, Friday, October 2, 2026, at Brashears Funeral Home.
Services are entrusted to Brashears Funeral Home and Crematory of Huntsville.
Survivors
He is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Mike and Tori Morris, of Kingston and a daughter and son-in-law, Keri and David Osborne, of Eureka Springs.
