JAMES HERBERT MORRIS

February 15, 1967 - July 08, 2022


The family of James Herbert Morris, are heartbroken to announce his unexpected and sudden death. Born February 15, 1967 - Died July 8, 2022.
Jim was loved by all and touched the lives of many people. Throughout his life, the close friendships that he developed, with people from all over the world, meant more to him, than anyone would truly know.  
Jim was an amazing artist – poet – musician and spent his life connecting with nature. A gentle soul that had a deep appreciation, for the simpler ways of life. He loved fishing, grilling and creating his own unique recipes. He had a deep love of music, and was an incredible songwriter and poet. Some of his best times were jamming with his musician buddies, recording the songs that he wrote, (providing vocals and guitar). He had this little shy side about his talent and would send sound clips to us in excited anticipation for our input. Anyone who ever heard his music was pleasantly entertained, encouraging him to go public. We always told him, "Jimmy, you need to get these published". Jim was a huge MLB fan; his favorite team was the Seattle Mariners. He enjoyed watching old Western Movies, and the "Waltons". Jim was well read, and took a deep interest in spiritual meditation, organic living, natural healing, but still enjoyed a good shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey, and a cold Fat Tire beer with his friends. 
A master custom painter, Jim owned and operated “The Good Painters” for 30 years.
Jim is preceded in death, by his son Joseph Christopher (Morris) Neal, His Parents, Herb and Marjorie Morris. He is survived by his Sister, Donna D'Orio, of Oregon, Sister Linda Morris, Sister Sandra Detar (Mark Banaszak) of Colorado, Brother Keith Morris (Jen Lashua) of Vermont. Also Surviving are Nieces and Nephews Amy Taylor (Scott Buckholtz), Ryan Taylor (Kacey Taylor) of Oregon, Kevin Morris of Colorado, Greg Detar (Ashley Detar), Elizabeth Detar of Maryland, Alyiah, Tenzen, Sitara and Bella Morris, Shayla Goodwin, Jason Casey. Jim was a Great Uncle to Jules Morris, Nora Taylor, Owen Taylor, Max Detar, Haleigh Casey and Charlotte Rose Goodwin. Jim also had a very special relationship to his Aunt Rita Morris and Uncle Wesley Morris both of Eugene Oregon, Aunt Deborah Grass of Boulder, Colorado, and Scott Taylor, of Australia.  He also has many cousins, and good friends, that he considered 'family'.
We are deeply sadden to say goodbye, but take comfort in believing that Jim has found his peace. He will be remembered, loved and the memories cherished forever.
Tulip Cremation of Tacoma, Washington will provide crematorium services, and a Celebration of Life will be held in Colorado, September 17, 2022 2:00 PM. The family will update with the address before the set date.

Melanie Robinson I first met Jim at just 14 years old. As years went on, he would introduce me to amazing songs, some that are still my favorite to this day. “Listen to the lyrics!” He would so passionately tell a room full of loud people. The room would get quiet immediately. One of my favorites that stand out is “Love song” from Tesla. I still remember him every time I hear it. I would in time know him as not just a friend I used to know, but as my beautiful nephews father. Joes Dad. Joes dad took me fishing on my 18th birthday. He taught me how to drive a 1957 Chevy Panel Van. He taught me to appreciate art and poetry. It wasn’t all good times. We fought like family members do, we went long distances without speaking. But anytime we would find our paths crossing throughout later years, it was still about the songs, the poetry, the art… the memories. I’ll never forget him. Prayers to his family and friends. Give my beautiful Jojo a hug for me Jim. 💜

Kevin Morris My uncle showed me many many things. I will miss Jim dearly especially his sense of humor. I’m still pretending he’s out there on the road. Losing him means losing a huge part of myself so I’ll just have to meet up with him down at the crossroads someday.
