Richard Allen Morris

Richard “Ricky” Allen Morris, 56, of Free Union, Virginia went to be with the Lord on October 2, 2021, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born on August 31, 1965.

Ricky was an honest man who loved life, the outdoors, hunting, and going to car races with special friends, Blu, Jake, Junior, Glen, and Lora.  Ricky had a heart of gold who always made you feel loved and who would do anything for anyone. We will miss his contagious smile and his hugs, with his squeezes so tight, you thought he was going to hang on forever.
