Morris was born August 8, 1929, in Horton, Kansas to John and Angie Bevan Carr. He graduated from Emporia High School in 1947 and earned a bachelor's degree from Emporia State University. Morris served our country in the US Air Force.

Morris retired from Goodyear with almost 25 years of service. He was a great cook, was a handyman who could fix anything, and was an avid KU Jayhawk basketball fan. But more than anything, Morris loved his family.
