Gary Graham Morrison

February 16, 1950 ~ February 23, 2021 (age 71)

It is with heavy hearts that we share with you the sudden passing of Gary Graham Morrison of Lethbridge, at the age of 71 years.

Gary is survived by his children, Carrie Morrison and Jessica Ott of Lethbridge, his sister, Donna Morrison of Calgary, also his grandchildren, Jenyse Morrison and Bryson Reaney also of Lethbridge.

Gary had close friends and family that couldn’t fill the loneliness in his soul. He was and will continue to be loved and remembered for the kind soul he showed everyone.

He was predeceased by his mother, Jesse Morrison, his father Graham “Hoss” Morrison and his stepmother, Emily Morrison.

Gary had a few professions that he enjoyed long-term. The first was with Canada Safeway starting as a teenager and continuing into parenthood. He then went on to spend numerous years doing home delivery with Palm Dairies. He spent a lot of time taking his children for milk runs, which are memories we will cherish. He then retired at our local Kawneer plant.

He enjoyed the outdoors. Special memories are of him taking his trusty dog Kilo out to duck hunt. He taught Kilo how to retrieve. To this day he had pictures of Kilo all over. We would like to think they are together again, as he loved that dog beyond words.

Gary also followed his father into the outdoors fishing, tying flies, and camping, which led to his children enjoying these things as well.

Gary was hurting beyond understanding. Words are few as we grieve.

The memories are fond, your sudden passing is unbearable.

                       

                       SPOOK

Your thoughts and feelings are now free

But daddy, where does that leave me?

 

Your inner pain must have been so heavy

to talk, you just needed to be ready

 

I never thought you felt so alone

but demons made your thoughts their home

 

I hate that you thought of no other way

than to end your life and leave in dismay

 

You are beside me every day

My strength comes when you show me the way

 

I know in my heart that you loved me

I know in my soul that you are free

Rest in peace and finally free. Loving you forever.
