Steven Wayne Morris, aka ‘Uncle Gumby’, was born May 28th, 1968 to Sharon Perkins Burdick. He passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully March 12th, 2025 at his home in Tillamook Oregon, where he had spent most of his life.
Some of Steve’s hobbies were fishing, gardening, rock hunting, but his favorite hobby was being a Dad and a Papa. He loved working with his hands and was always willing to lend a helping hand when needed. That is why he became a handyman. Everyone that knew Steve personally knows what a great loss this has been. He was one of the kindest, most caring, loving, and hardest working gentle-giants there ever was. He truly had a ‘heart of gold’.
Steve is preceded in death by his father, Frank Perkins.
He is survived by his mother, Sharon Perkins Burdick; his daughter, Leah Moose (Anthony Moose); granddaughters, Ember and Hali Moose; his sister, Terri Lancaster (Jimmy Lancaster); brothers, Donny Morris (Joanna Morris) and Mike Wert (Wendy White); nephews, Jacob Morris (Erin Savage) and Cooper Morris; great-nephew, Dasan Morris including many other extended family members, and a large community of friends.
Steve will be greatly missed by so many people, and we thank you for all your love and support during this time.
A Celebration of Life will be held this summer at the Swiss Hall in Tillamook, Oregon. Mark your calendars for June 7, 2025 at 2pm. It will be a potluck (main course provided), so please bring a side dish, and your favorite memory of Steve to share.
