February 22, 1938 - August 18, 2023
Carol Morris, beloved resident of Horseshoe Lake, Arkansas, passed away on August 18, 2023, at the age of 85. Born on February 22, 1938, Carol brought light and laughter to the world throughout his life.
Carol was born to the the parents of Carl Morris and Kathryn Tatum in Manila, Arkansas.
He is survived by his wife, Shirley Morris. Their life together spanned over 4 decades. Their love story became the foundation for a beautiful family, leaving behind a legacy that will forever be cherished.
Their children, Mike, Tina, Amy, Robert, Leslie, Aleshia, and David, were both a reflection and an extension of their parents' remarkable spirit.
Throughout his life, Carol instilled in his children values that would guide them through life's ups and downs. He nurtured their dreams, supported their pursuits, and always had a listening ear.
Carol's infectious laughter and warm personality endeared him to everyone he met. His mischievous grin lit up countless rooms, and his generous spirit left an indelible mark on those who had the privilege of knowing him.
After graduating from Manila High School, Carol served in the Air Force, protecting our country with honor and commitment.
Carol will be greatly missed by his family and friends, but his memory will live on through the laughter, love, and joy he shared with all who knew him.
In his final journey, Carol is survived by his loving wife, Shirley Morris, Brother Nelson Morris(Pat) sons Mike Morris(Jamie), Robert Morris(Sherry) Tina, Debbie Marnhout(Jack), Leslie Jackson, Aleshia Newcomb(Zachery), and David Plunkett.
Carol is preceded in death by his parents Carl Morris, Kathryn Tatum, stepfather Gerald Tatum, daughter Amy Abbott, Son in law Mo Thorn, great grandson Westin Grant, and great grand daughter Emma Kate.
Carol also leaves behind 15 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren who were the light of his life.
Forever remembered, forever loved, Carol Morris will be the eternal source of happiness and warmth in the hearts of all who had the privilege of sharing in his life.

I am saddened to just find out about Carol's passing. Carol and my mother Linda were close friends, and he was always such a special man to our family. I used to stop by his furniture store just to see how he was doing and he was always so welcoming and treated me like family. He was a man that I always looked up to and finding out he passed brought back some of those fond memories. He and my mother are catching up on the golden streets in Heaven. I thank the Lord for the impact Carol had on my life and many others. Much love to the family, I know he is greatly missed, but what a legacy he made.

Carol was a good man and a great friend. He had the ability to make anyone laugh at just about anything, and make everyone feel a little better about the world.
Fly high my friend, you earned the time and the wings.
