WEST POINT—James Arnold “Jimmy” Morris, our special angel here on earth, departed from his earthly toils on July 21, 2025, to join his loving family members who preceded him in death.
We know he is now in heaven with them, and it brings joy and comfort to our hearts. He is no longer suffering, fearful or in pain. What a blessing to know he is at peace and with our Savior.
Born October 29, 1971, Jimmy was the 10th child of Esau Ray and Florence Smith Morris. In his 53 years he has brought much joy, love, companionship and faith to all who loved him and to those he met. He never met a stranger. An avid Redskins fan and wrestling fan, never accepting the Skins’ change in name.
Jimmy was preceded by his parents, Ray and Florence Morris; grandmother, Sudie Morris, whom he adored; brother, David; sister-in-law, Doris; brother, Paul; and nephew, Everett Rich.
He is survived by Ruth Carlton (William Davis); Mary Rich (Jerry); sister-in-law, Bonnie Morris; Jessie McGrath (Joe); Seabrook Morris (Sarah); Barbara Prince (Chris); Billy Morris (Marcey); Joe Morris (Lori); and many treasured nieces and nephews.
A funeral was held at 3 p.m. Sunday, July 27, at Lower King & Queen Baptist Church, 204 Timber Branch Road, Mascot. Interment followed in the church cemetery. The family received friends from 2-3 p.m. prior to the service at the church.
