Larry Morris experienced enough memories to fill multiple lifetimes. Born in Florida and raised in Pittsburgh, Larry set his final roots in Scottsdale, Arizona where he served as a successful, serial entrepreneur, loving husband, caring father, and passionate pickleballer.

Regardless of how the world changed around him over seven decades, Larry remained unbreakably welcoming and warm to those he met, struck by wanderlust, and driven to provide for his family the life he could not have as a child. This same drive is what powered him to fight Stage IV lung cancer for 9 months, battling symptoms most would experience during their final 3 days of life for over 3 weeks.

Receiving his final living wish, he passed peacefully the morning of October 22, 2023 in his own bed, his two youngest children, Bruce and Adele Morris, with him, and a photo of his wife, who he now joins, watching over him.

In leiu of flowers or gifts, if you'd like to support the memory of Larry, you may contribute to the making of a memorial bench to be placed at Cholla Park where Larry served as mayor of the pickleball courts.
