Richard Morrison

Richard Morrison AKA Rick, passed away on August 1, 2017 at 12:20 a.m. at the Evanston Regional Hospital.

He was surrounded by his family at the time of death. Rick lived a life full of love and laughter; he had a heart of gold and cared for others deeply. Rick was always the life of the party, from his big beautiful smile to his beautiful blue eyes. Rick was a very simple man. He loved his football and his NASCAR. Denver Broncos was his team and Tony Stewart was his driver. Rick loved his good old rock and roll as he would say, “let the good times roll!” He had a deep love for his dog Junior and he loved watching NASCAR with his dad. Rick always enjoyed family gatherings and summertime barbecues. Rick was affiliated in his childhood years with the Acrerats based out of Whittier California where he met his best friend David Estrada, “his brother from another mother” they would say.

Rick was born March 19th 1960 in Portland Oregon. His surviving family is his ex-wife/best friend Lynn Guthrie, Allen Texas.  Children: Reanna McCasky Hemet, Ca. Tara Wisenbaker Evanston, Wy. Breanna May Allen, Tx. Steven Silvey Fullerton, Ca. and Brandon May Denver, Co. Rick is a proud grandpa of 13 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild (who was born on the day Rick passed away) Sisters: Deborah Morrison Buena Park, Ca. Linda Urbania Central Point, Or. Nephews and nieces: Michael Morrison Buena Park, Ca. Johnny Hackman, Joshua Morrison and Monique Olson. Best friends: David Estrada, Ardy Rose, Donny Guthrie, Scott May and Jeremy Wisenbaker.

Rick will truly be missed but never forgotten. We have a comfort as his family knowing he is no longer suffering from his illnesses. He is flying high in the sky like a free bird. Until we see you again!
