Steven Boyd Morris of San Angelo, Texas, passed away on June 15, 2025, surrounded by family. Steve was born on May 7, 1958 in Snyder, Texas to parents Sherrod Len “Mac” Morris and Avis Joy Morris (née Oliver).
Steve and his family moved to Colorado City, Texas, in 1971, and in 1976, Steve graduated from Colorado City High School. He worked in the oil field for a brief period before joining his father in the family business: Costin Implement, Colorado City’s Ford Tractor Dealership. In 1979, Steve met Dee Ann Hamer. In 1980, Steve and Dee Ann married and later that year they welcomed baby girl, Manda Dee. Two years later, baby boy, Kristopher Boyd, joined the bunch. While in Colorado City, Steve served as President of Kiwanis Club, President of the Chamber of Commerce of Colorado City, and was actively involved in the AJRA.
In 1987, Steve, Dee Ann, Manda, and Kris moved to Austin where Steve owned a landscaping business. In 1989, Steve and Kris moved back to Colorado City, where Steve resumed working for Costin Implement and helped to open branch locations in El Paso and Las Cruces.
In 1993, Steve moved to San Angelo, and on November 12, 1994, he married the love of his life, Kit Marie (née Smith).
In 1994, Steve began his much-loved career in Real Estate, which he continued until his death. From 2000 to 2009 Steve served on the Board of the West Texas Boys Ranch, and from 2006-2008 he Chaired the Board. He was also heavily involved with the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo where he was a long-time volunteer with the Premium Sale.
