NORTHPORT – Sandy W. Morris, age 56, of Northport, Ala., died November 7, 2017, at his residence. Services will be 10 a.m. Friday, November 10, 2017, at Englewood Baptist Church with Brother Bill Richards and Brother Randy Beard officiating. Burial will follow in Piney Woods Cemetery with Sunset Funeral Home, a Dignity Memorial Provider, directing. Visitation will be Thursday, November 9, 2017, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the church.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Edna Scott Paul; father, Garvie Loyd Morris; and brother, Barry McMilleon.
Survivors include his wife; daughter; son; two sisters; two brothers; his stepmother; one grandson; one granddaughter and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Sandy started his journey into adulthood earlier than most. At age fifteen, Sandy became independent and had to quickly learn the value of hard work and dedication. From starting at the bottom of the ranks on a riverboat to running a successful business for 30+ years, Sandy is the epitome of the American Dream and a role model for us all.
In addition to his outstanding work ethic, he added the more important values of love, compassion, and dedication to his roles of husband, father, grandfather (Bop), and most importantly Christian. He was a devoted Christian and lived out what he believed.
His entire family looked up to him and adored him. He could always find humor in any situation and never lost that sense of humor. He found joy in hunting, fishing, riding Jeeps, riding motorcycles, and playing with his grandbabies.
He fought a year long battle with cancer. As much as we all despise cancer, it gave us so much perspective and we were able to dedicate so much more quality time with him. He ended his battle at home peacefully surrounded with so many family and friends that loved him. We all grieve because we miss him but find peace in knowing that we will see him again in Heaven. ""Faith is not believing God can. It is knowing He will"".
Pallbearers will be Terry Oswalt, Terry Grammer, Jim Barns, Bobby Cannon, Jeff Oswalt, Tracy Tierce, Scott Collins and Ed Long.
Honorary pallbearers are Hospice of West Alabama, employees of Lewis and Faye Manderson Cancer Treatment Center, friends and family of the Samantha and Brownville communities and Englewood Baptist Church family, and co-workers of ST Bunn. (edited)
