Abilene, Texas - Matt Ryan Morrison received his wings on January 25, 2008. Matt was born in Vincennse, Indiana. He graduated from Cooper High School and attended Hardin-Simmons University from 1979 through the Spring of 1981 where he was a member of Tau Alpha Phi Fraternity and he was elected Junior class president for the 1981 - 1982 term. Matt participated in cross country track and baseball during his time at Hardin-Simmons. He was a member of Pioneer Drive Baptist Church where he participated in youth activities. Matt also enjoyed singing and playing the piano.

Matt is survived by his loving sister and best friend, Billie Morrison Duggan, her husband Clint Duggan, and two sons, Dylan and Payton Duggan of Abilene, his younger brother, Joshua Ryan Morrison, and his wife Jill, and their daughter Hope Morrison, and son Charlie Morrison, of Houston, Texas, and Reta Morrison of Abilene.

With greatest love and appreciation we are honored to list Matt's extended family: Mary Rivas, her husband Manuel, and family, Misty Monita and children Austin and Justin, Shawna Reatherford, her husband Chris, and children Morgan and Colton, Teresa Johnson, Becky Benivamondez, Denise Garcia, Irma Boyle and grandson Lucas, Shelly Archer and family, Victor Rivas, Bridgett Graham, Patty Davis and family, Joan Parker, Elsie Streiff, and Gordon Smith.

The love, devotion, and sacrifice they so generously gave provided Matt with the best quality of life possible. Matt's extended family surrounded him with daily prayers and Christian love.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

2 TIMOTHY 4:7-8

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
