It is with heavy hearts that the family of Felix Joseph Morris announces his peaceful passing at the age of 85, surrounded by his loved ones, in Miramichi, New Brunswick, on August 7, 2025.

Born on October 7, 1939, in Sainte-Thérèse, Felix lived a full and meaningful life rooted in love, dedication, and family. He was a devoted husband to his beloved wife of 64 years, Rita Morris, and a proud father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

Felix will be deeply missed by his six children: Dianne (Vincent) MorrisFrancine MorrisAline (Yvon) MorrisOmer (Diane) MorrisEric (Anita) Morris, and Donald (Cindy) Morris. He was a cherished grandfather to Stephanie (René) SavoieNatalie (Chris) SavoieDenis SavoieGuylaine MorrisCindy LévesqueBrian (Shannon) MorrisJustin (Cherry) MorrisJeremy (Cheyenne) Morris,Chantal (Blair) BreauJulie (Andrew) SavoieDereck MorrisMylène (Stephen) MorrisKesha (Jeremy) Morris, and Danika Morris, and was blessed with 16 great-grandchildren.

He is predeceased by his beloved son, Ronald, his parents, Christianne and Jean Morris, and several siblings.

Felix was an avid outdoorsman who found his greatest joy in nature. If he wasn’t working in the woods, he was hunting, fishing, or simply enjoying the peace of the outdoors. Many summers were spent camping atMiner’s Bridge, a place that held special meaning to him and his family. There wasn’t a road or trail in the woods he didn’t know, and even after life slowed down and he stopped hunting and fishing, he loved observing wildlife and spending time at the camp in Busby. Felix cherished his family deeply and treasured every visit from his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

The family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to the Diabetes Clinic and Extra Mural for their many years of in-home support, with a special thanks to Jocelyn, his favourite nurse, and to Rosaline for all her help. Furthermore, sincere gratitude is extended to Percy’s Place for the compassionate care they provided during his last days.

mass will be held at a later date, and the family will host a celebration of life to honour Felix’s memory, also at a later date.

In memory of Felix, donations can be made out to Percy's Place. Messages of condolence can be sent through the funeral home website: www.miramichifunerals.ca
