John loves San Angelo and made his home and life here. Imagine the stories he can tell as he experienced all the world changes over the decades. He grew up during the Great Depression and left school early to help support his family. John worked first for his dad pouring concrete and eventually began his 30-year career as a home builder. John built many homes in San Angelo and West Texas along with several churches and business facilities in and around the area. John was a member of the Home Builders of America in San Angelo and served as President in the late 70’s.

John loved traveling and visited many beautiful areas of the United States and Europe. He loved the outdoors and spent countless hours fishing and hunting – he has many trophies on his walls with entertaining stories for each – most of them truthful!

John truly treasured his many friends made over the years and we know he is visiting with them and family in heaven and will be waiting for us. He is loved and will be dearly missed.

The Graveside service will be 1:00 P.M., Monday, November 13, 2023 at Belvedere Memorial Park.

Scott Arlen Morris, Jr. was born on January 4, 1954, to Scott and Maxine Morris in Ft. Worth, TX. While his father was in the service, they lived in Albuquerque, NM, Honolulu, HI, and Texas where he graduated from Midland Lee High School in 1972. Upon graduation, he enlisted in the United States Air Force. He served during the Vietnam War and later was stationed in Arizona, where he was a missile equipment specialist, specifically working with the Titan II Missile. He was always proud to be a veteran and was honored to be part of the Honor Flight of 2015, escorting his father, MSgt. Scott A. Morris, Sr., a veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam Wars. In 1977, he met the love of his life, Shirley Nutt. They have been married forty-five years, boasting five children, and ten grandchildren. Over the years, Scott and Shirley settled in San Angelo, TX where he worked for and later owned an HVAC company, Western Air Conditioning. One of his many accomplishments was his 38 years of sobriety which was heavily supported by his friends and family of the program, and where he in return, sponsored many others. Among his many pursuits, his expertise was always trucking. He hauled everything from, cattle, oil, oversized and wide loads, and was even specifically requested to haul top-secret loads for the military. In his most recent years, he was employed by W&W |AFCO Steel, hauling beams. There wasn’t a road he didn’t know, hadn’t driven on, or couldn’t navigate. He was ‘Google Maps’ before Google was invented. He saw miles of his beloved country through a windshield, and he instilled the same desire and appreciation for travel in his children. He took his daughters on cross-country trips, exploring the roads of America. When he wasn’t on the road, he was on the sidelines at every soccer game of his daughters, and granddaughters, and football games of his grandsons. Scott will always be their number one fan, having left his recognizable yell in the ears of all spectators. If you knew Scott, you knew that he considered you family. He made sure to call or stop by anytime he passed through your town. Sitting in a crowded room, he could hold a conversation with you like you were the only one there. He had a way of making you feel special. He opened his home and heart to friends and family alike. He was a storyteller, a wealth of knowledge, and loved to joke around.
