Frank Morris

Frank Garrison Morris, known as Gary or meho to his friends and family, and pops by his children, passed away at home in Grantsville, UT while being watched over by his loving wife Jackie.

Gary moved to Dell, UT in the late 80’s to help manage and run the small town and truck stop with his uncle Gene Jenson aka Geno. Although uncle and nephew they were more like brothers and best friends. Gary met the love of his life in Dell and happily made Jackie his wife on June 14, 1993. Jackie had 3 children who had an instant friendship with Gary and quickly began to think of him as another dad. Gary had a great sense of humor; he was always quick to lighten the mood with a joke, a sense of humor that he kept right to the end. He also had a great sense of adventure whether it was a 10 min 4wheeler ride that ended up lasting hours and everyone coming back covered in mud, or maybe just a quick peak into an abandoned mine, treasure hunting for both gems and gold, and sometimes just a plain old camping trip. It seemed if it involved the outdoors, he was in.
Gary is survived by His wife Jackie Kearns Morris, children Frank (Debbie) Morris, Duane (Kerrie) Morris, Regina (Troy), Rachel (Dave), stepchildren Brian (Natalie) Critchlow, Dixie (Albert) Boulard, and Lonnie Critchlow. His 18 Grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. Uncle (Brother) Gene (Jane) Jensen, as well as a niece Dianna Tolman-Stanfel (Ditto).
He is preceded in death by his parents Frank and Rachel Morris, sister Judy Tolman, grandson Tyler and grandson Trever Boulard.
In keeping with Gary’s wishes he was to be cremated with a celebration of life to be held at a later date.
