Kirk D. Morris, Sr., 59, formerly of Buchanan, passed away unexpectedly on August 21, 2019, in Park County, Colorado.
Kirk’s family was contacted by the Park County Coroner to inform them they had located remains of an unknown male that was believed to be Kirk Morris of Michigan. Over the past two years the family has had to keep this information private, until positive identification was made. In August of 2021, Kirk Jr. and family were able to find some sort of peace as positive identification was confirmed.
The family will celebrate Kirk’s life privately at this time, and will spread his cremated remains in the U.P., an area Kirk Sr. cherished. Condolences and messages are appreciated, though the family asks for privacy at this time. Those wishing to send a condolence online may do so at http://www.swemchapel.com. Swem Chapel of Buchanan assisted with arrangements.
Kirk was born on May 15, 1960, to Jerry and Loretta (Carpenter) Morris in Niles, MI and grew up and attend high school in Buchanan, MI. Professionally, Kirk served as a Heat Treater for Harbor Metal for over twenty-five years. He had an admiration for nature and loved climbing mountains to enjoy the view. Camping, hunting, fishing and riding his motorcycle were his passions, along with snowmobiling in the winter months. Kirk would like to catch a Chicago Cubs baseball game in the summer and loved watching Notre Dame Football in the fall.
Kirk is survived by his son, Kirk (Nikki) Morris, Jr.; granddaughters, Kali & Caitlyn Morris; brothers, Doyle (Brenda) Morris, Monte (Robin) Morris and sister, Monica (Tom) Morris-Haab.
