In his free time, Steve loved spending time with his family, playing poker, golf, and being with his lifelong friends, the “Hog” boys.
Steve was preceded in death by his parents, Otho W. and Emily Lucille Morris, and brother, Charles “Butch” Morris. He is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Sharon Creech Morris; children, Patrick Morris (Lydia) and Adam Morris; sisters-in-law, Wilma Morris and Sandra Hollister; and his beloved pups Augie, Clancy, and Gracie.
The family will receive friends on Friday, July 30, 2021 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Peninsula Funeral Home, 11144 Warwick Blvd., Newport News, VA 23601.
