Donald “DON” Lee Morris, Jr. age 70, of Rock Creek, formerly of Hambden Twp., died November 7, 2023 at The Cleveland Clinic. Born November 9, 1952 to Donald L. and Wilda (nee: Wilson) Morris, Sr. in West Branch, MI. Don was a member  of Aerie Eagles #2261, Chardon, he owned and operated the Hambden Country Inn from 1982 to 1998, and his love for food continued on with many catering jobs of all kinds. His greatest joy was spending time with his daughters and  grandchildren. He wore many hats, but his most precious title was being “Papa”. He was the loudest cheerleader at his grandchildren’s games. He loved watching the Cleveland Browns and NASCAR, tending to his garden and going to the  race track. “Don’t worry, Dad, we will see that the grass gets mowed”. He was a “jack of all trades”, always there to help anyone in need. Don, even as ill as he was, always managed to make people laugh. He was tough as nails, but had a huge heart. He was a great son, father, Papa and ex-husband (LOL Karen) and friend to all. “Love you Bunches, Dad”.

He retired from Belvoir Oil and Gas after 15+ years of  loyal service.

Don is  survived by his daughters Kelly (Nate) Davis of Streetsboro and Kristy Morris of Hambden Twp., grandchildren Zachary and Eve. He was preceded in death by his parents, and brothers Roger and David.

The  family will receive friends on Friday, November 10, 2023 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Burr Funeral Home, 116 South Street, Chardon, Ohio, 44024, followed by a brief service by his family at 7:00 p.m.
