Ronald Morris Obituary

Those we love truly never die….but live in our hearts forever. Ronald "Rocky" Morris Jr., 55 years old, a native of Donaldsonville and a resident of Belle Rose became an angel to many on Friday, June 14, 2013. Although he was a dedicated and loyal employee of CF Industries for 34 years, his main purpose in life was caring for his family. Over the years Rocky tirelessly gave of his time to family and friends. He was a proud volunteer fire fighter and first responder for over 30 years. He is survived by his loving wife of 34 years, Eugenia "Jeannie" Doran Morris; his 3 daughters, Alicia Morris Falsetta and husband Ryan, Alaina Morris Paine and husband Tony, and Ali Michelle Morris; his grandchildren, who were the light of his life and affectionately called him Poppa, Emmie and Logan Falsetta, Aiden, Austin, Anderson Roc, and baby Paine; his parents, Ronald "Ronnie" Morris and Sandra Young Morris; siblings, Nadine Cassard and husband Danny, Dana Clark and husband Robert, Kyle Morris, Stephanie Coburn and husband Tommy, Gwen Calvaruso and husband Darrell, Bart Morris and wife Amy; in-laws Donald and Margaret Doran Dugas, Mark and Kayte Doran Landry, and Jim and Myrna Doran Looney; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Rocky was blessed with a CF family that he adored and truly amazing friends Darrell Calvaruso, Chuck Montero, Keith Landry, and Jean Templet whom without them, our family would not be complete. He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. David Young and Mr. and Mrs. Estave Morris, and his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Doran. Funeral arrangements are pending at Ourso Funeral Home in Donaldsonville. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to St. Elizabeth Catholic School and the Donaldsonville Fire Department at CFLA Credit Union or Capital One Bank. Condolences can be made at www.oursodonaldsonville.com.

I was very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to teach Rocky and all of his siblings. The Morris family is truly a special family ready to share and love. Obviously, Rocky took those traits and not only embraced them with his own beautiful family, but with everyone he came in contact with. The guest book entries clearly show the celebration of a beautiful life and a remarkable man.
May God's unending love show compassion for you and give you strength out of this grief to trust in the knowledge that the memories you carry in your heart of Rocky will keep him close to you. He will be near, loving and caring for all of you, in his beautifully peaceful place. Listen with your heart and his love will surround you and be near you.

Rocky & Melissa Giroir

June 20, 2013

Jeannie, Mr. Ronnie, Mrs. Sandra and the whole Morris family, I'm just beyond sad and distraught about our loss. Rocky was such a good friend throughout my life. From our childhood in the Hood building forts and camps, to helping me build my garage, helping me move my then girlfriend - (twice!) and especially to teaching me how to be a better operator...and better man, I am eternally grateful. All of the stories he had, the people he touched and particularly his unique command of the English language will stay with me forever. As did you all, I loved the man and was proud to call him a friend.
Rocky was one of those rare and precious lifelong friends who knew way too many things about me and still remained a good friend.
As do you all, I miss him terribly, but the one thing that I hold on to that helps me through is that special "Rocky the Zen master" mantra: "it'll beaight!" - all one word, and profoundly true!

Truly blessed are those of us who even KNEW Rocky Morris, a man who walked with God's hand on his shoulder and His voice in his heart. His legacy will live on through his family, wife, children,grandchildren and friends who were certainly led by his example. Let us honor Rocky by being the kind of person he was to so many while he is waiting to be joined in Heaven by those who will miss him so much. Find comfort in the knowledge that he will continue to be with you always... while in Heaven, Baby Paine is being cradled in his loving arms at this very moment. Continue to be strong, for God needed his earth angel to set an example for the souls in heaven. We will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Jeannie & family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all with the tragic loss of Rocky. Having known Rocky since he's worked at CF and working with him for a brief time, he was great person and dedicated to everything he did. Knowing this,and thinking from an operators point of view, I truly believe he acted heroically in attempting to prevent the inevitable from occurring. in doing so he probably saved other lives. He'll be missed terribly. God Bless you all and may you find peace in your hearts and minds.

Jeannie, Licia, Laina, Ali, Nanny, Uncle Ronnie, my cousins, Ryan, Mooda, & Rocky's "Shadow" , Dut

I think we've all said & heard the same thing for almost a week. Everyone was correct. Rocky was not only a friend to all, a dedicated husband, father, & grandfather, he was a true hero. As devastating as this is to all, to me, it's such an honor to know that my carefree, laid back cousin, actually died an unselfish, heroic death. I'm proud to have been his "Rhode Island Red" for 47 years!! I love y'all all so very much, & pray so hard that someday there will be a sense of peace & consolation in the lives of every member of my family. God Bless.
