Brian K. Morris, 52, of Hopewell Township passed away on October 11, 2024, after a year long courageous battle with leukemia.
He was born on November 29, 1971, in Aliquippa, the son of Ronald and Marlene (McClester) Morris. In addition to his parents, Brian is survived by his loving wife of nearly 9 years, Amy (Miller) Morris, who he affectionately called his rock; sister Brianne (Nick) Bergman; in-laws, Mary and Gary Miller; sister-in-law Becky (Robbie) Baron; and nieces and nephews Nicolas, Natalie, and Nathan Baron, and Elizabeth and Margaret Bergman. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents and a newborn sister.
Brian was a lover of cars and every dog he ever met, a connoisseur of coffee, beer, and great food who loved music and playing the guitar. He enjoyed his most recent job as a mechanic at Grossi and Associates in Center Township, as well as his recent certification as a realtor at Berkshire Hathaway, a job he always dreamed of having. Brian had a variety of interests, a vast knowledge, and loved late night phone calls with family and friends that could last hours. He loved to travel locally, especially to Hocking Hills State Park, and the quaint town of Ashtabula, Ohio. Most of all, he loved Amy, who he had known since childhood, but reconnected with in 2012, sparking a journey of love between them. Brian will be dearly missed by those whom he loved and who loved him in return.
Funeral arrangements will be private, remembering Brian in the presence of close family and friends. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Anthony Mastrofrancesco Funeral Home Inc, 2026 McMinn Street, Aliquippa.
Brian’s family would like to thank the loving staff at UPMC Family Hospice, Select Specialty Hospital, Pittsburgh at UPMC Montefiore, and the UPMC Hematology/Oncology services.
In lieu of flowers, Brian’s family wishes to have any memorial donations sent to the Beaver County Humane Society at beavercountyhumanesociety.org or the Family House at familyhouse.org.
