MORRIS, Jesse Lynn, 85, died at his daughter’s home in Odessa, Texas after a brief illness on Tuesday, April 25, 2023. Jesse was born in Calf Creek, Texas on February 4, 1938. He graduated from Sterling City High School in 1956 and it is said that he walked off the stage and joined the Navy. Jesse served in the Navy for 20 years as Chief Torpedoman and was on submarines for most of his career. He was also elected to be cook on the sub because the “cook couldn’t cook”. After retiring from the Navy, he began a career in the oil fields which brought him to Odessa and then became the Night Utilities person for the University of Texas in the Permian Basin where he also retired. He married the love of his life Martha Jo (Lawrence) Morris on September 1, 1960 and they had two daughters, Lisa Kay and Lori Ann. After retirement he and Jo moved to Brady Lake and lived there for 10 years before a stroke in 2016 brought him back to live with his daughter Lori in Odessa. Jesse is preceded in death by his loving wife Martha Jo Morris, his father Willard Morris and stepmother Evelyn Morris, his brothers Nathan Morris, Jackson Morris, Henry Morris, Robert Morris, sisters Darla Morris and Kutucha Morris. He is survived by his daughters Lisa Reynolds and Lori Lieck Aley (Junior), granddaughters Ashley Reynolds Gamboa, Devan Lieck (fiancée Robert), Taylor Caley (Matt), bonus grandchildren Jadelyn Bates (Josh) and Koby Aley, great-grand-children Jordyn Gamboa, Jacob Gamboa, Lorin Hudgens, Blaze Bates, Keller Bates and Kip Caley (waiting on arrival), his brothers Gaylon Morris (Debra), James Morris (Carole), his sisters Willie Sparks (Nathan) and Pearl Harris (James). Jesse had countless talents and was a true artist in several areas, but his greatest talent was being the best big brother to all his brothers and sisters, the best father, best grandfather and great-grand-father and the best friend. What all of us wouldn’t give to hear you play the harmonica and sing Roger Miller just one more time! We’ll miss you Pa!! A memorial service will be held on May 20, 2023, 11AM at Heritage Funeral Home in Brady, Texas.
