Kelvin Morris January 22, 1993 - September 24, 2022

Date of Funeral

September 28, 2022

Our heavy hearts announce the passing of Kelvin James Morris, beloved adopted son of James George Morris and the late Joanne Wetelainen-Morris.  He leaves behind brother Spencer Lee and sister-in-law Amanda Morris along with nieces and nephews Dakota and Julia Kejick and John George and Niedra Morris.

Forever held close in the hearts of his aunts Elsie Fox, Leah Gardener, Sandra Hamon, Karen Romus and uncles Bellamie, Richard and Dennis Morris, Henry Wetelainen Junior, Glen Wetelainen and Carey Wetelainen. He leaves behind cousins too numerous to mention.

He was predeceased by mother Joanne, grandfather Henry Wetelainen Sr., grandmother Jemima Morris, aunt Emily Cromarty, and aunt Lucy Beardy.

Music was his greatest love and he eventually learned to play guitar and passionately followed the Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, and the Chicks attending as many concerts as he could.  So inspired he became a six-string aficionado mastering multiple guitars and styles of playing.

Kelvin will be fondly remembered by many friends and numerous extended family and relatives.

We would like to thank the doctors and nurses at the Dryden Regional Health Centre and TBRHSC / ICU unit for the great care of Kelvin.

Funeral services will be held at Dryden Community Funeral Home, 249 Grand Trunk Ave, Dryden, ON.  The wake will be held Tuesday, September 27, 2022 at 6pm – 8pm.  The funeral service commences on Wednesday, September 28, 2022 at 11 am.  Gordon Beardy officiates both services.
