Daniel Clark Morris

July 30, 1965 - October 3, 2020

Daniel Clark Morris, born July 30, 1965 in West Palm Beach to George and Linda Morris (Russell), and left this world October 3, 2020. Known for his larger than life sense of humor and breathtaking artwork, he left behind more memories, laughs and pieces of himself than we could have ever hoped for. His mother, Linda, looks back fondly and says there was no baby more wanted than Danny. When he was becoming an older brother, he was excited to take up the job but when Leigh came home, he just responded “that’s it?” After coping with his disappointment, he worked himself up to the CHALLENGE of looking after his baby sister. Whether that meant showing her how to ride a bike (teaching her to brake by crashing into trees) or having to fight off the older sister of the girl she kept bullying on the bus. Him and Leigh truly were the best friends every set of parents hopes their kids will grow in to. They grew into adults that loved to party together and never minded sharing their friend group. When he turned thirty, though, the parties slowed down and he (sort-of) grew up when he became a daddy. His world changed as he held Brianna. There was no stronger or more similar daddy/daughter duo than these two. Bonded by their similar taste in movies and music and all things Halloween. They celebrated year-round, never taking the décor down and spending their nights together watching scary movies. Their duo became a quad when he met Tracy, and she came along into our family with Alex. Tracy was his fiancé (and love of his life), and they were planning on getting married this month. While they didn’t make it to their ceremony together, we know they are married at heart. We ask that you hold our family in your hearts, keep us in your prayers, and celebrate his life by listening to some 80’s rock and enjoy some of his artwork. And from his favorite movie, and old email signature, “it’s been swell but the swellings gone down.” CELEBRATION OF LIFE Danny was larger than life so it’s only fitting that we celebrate it, so please bring your best memories to share. Celebration of life will be held at: Royal Palm Beach Cultural Center 151 Civic Center Way Royal Palm Beach, FL 33411 Thursday October 15, 2020 5 pm to 9 pm In lieu of flowers, please donate to the American Cancer Society
