Jack “Jackie” G. Morris, 79, of Seymour passed away on Monday, July 10, 2023, at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis.  He was born on December 27, 1943, in Seymour, the son of Nettie Morris.  On December 19, 1980, Jack married Mary Jo Altemeyer in Seymour and she survives.

In addition to his wife Mary Jo, Jack is survived by two children, Jack W. Morris of Indianapolis, IN and Deborah Morris of Sarasota, FL; six grandchildren, Samantha Barnes, Jordan Morris, Josiah Morris, Tyler Morris, and Austin Morris; two great grandchildren; one brother, Rick Pennybaker of Columbus, IN; one sister, Rita Perry of North Vernon, IN; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his mother and one sister, Hilda Bolden.

Jack worked as a carpenter with Force Construction in Columbus, IN until retirement.  He was a member of the Jonesville Bass Club, Indiana Carpenters Union, and Cornerstone Community Church in Seymour.  In his free time Jack enjoyed fishing and camping with his wife Mary Jo as well as being with his beloved goldendoodle Sport.  He could be found throughout Seymour every morning at one of the local restaurants, having breakfast with his friends.  He had a generous heart and always gave back to people in need.  He never met a stranger and always had a smile on his face.   He will be deeply missed by all.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I just found out. It's sad. Your dad always put a smile on my face, it could be a year between seeing each other but we'd always say hey, and give each other a hug. So sorry for your loss Debbie.

Mary Jo, it has been 40 years since we met and you probably don't remember me, but I remember you and Jack well. The singles club, and the time spent with you and Jack and the rest of the group was a life line when I needed it most. The good times we had kept me going. I will always be thankful for you two. Call me sometime. Jane Walker 812-374-2752

As already mentioned in other posts, Jack Morris was a sweetheart. . .kindhearted and friendly with a big smile for everyone. I knew Jack through my position in HR at Force Construction and he was always one of my favorite retirees. My heart and prayers are with Mary Jo and the family as you go through this sad time.

Jack was a true friend to me , always with a smile. I worked 3rd shift at Kocolene by the interstate and was on lockdown 1-5 . Jack always arrived promptly at 5 and would fill his dinner bucket and chat until the morning crowd started ensuring my safety. He was one a kind and will be remembered and missed by many. Fly high with the angels my friend ?
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My sympathy to Jack's family. I remember him from Girls, Inc when it was on West Second and he helped with maintenance, always pleasant and willing to do what was needed.

I saw Jack at different times. He was a gentleman, a kind soul and his laugh was infectious. The world needs more people like Jack Morris. He always seemed happy when I’d run into him and he had a way of just making my day better. I’m sure God took him in his arms and I believe our God will let him watch over his wife and family from Heaven. Jack was one of those guys we never wanted to lose. Fly high, Jack. You gave us the best of humanity
