Morris was born in Russell, Kansas on February 12, 1952, the son of Mildred (McCord) Mills and Melvin Mills. Morris graduated from Russell High School in 1970 and attended Salina Area Vocational Technical College for Auto Body Repair. Morris met the love of his life while in college and was united in marriage to Marsha Titus 8 months later on July 31 st , 1971, and were able to share 51 loving years together. Morris and Marsha established their home in McPherson, Kansas. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, McPherson, where he served as an Elder. Morris worked as a carpenter building homes for Harold Schlender. He then worked at Turtle Top, where he painted fancy designs for van conversions. He later became ASE certified in Mechanics. Morris brought his dream of business ownership to reality and SureStart Automotive was built at 2150 E 1 st street in McPherson. He then transitioned to fabricating and designing airplane tanker trucks for Integrity Refuelers. With the devastation of 9/11 the airplane industry slowed, and Morris found himself at age 50 starting over. Morris knew that he wanted to continue to serve his community and support his family. It was then decided he would reopen his mechanics shop with a revamped name of Moe’s Muffler and Brake. He was given the opportunity to sell his business and spend his days on the golf course where he served as Golf Course Superintendent at Rolling Acres Golf Club until 2021 when he officially retired. Morris and Marsha owned several homes throughout the years, in 1997 they built their dream home right next to Rolling Acres where he could ride his golf cart across the yard to enjoy his retirement days with Marsha and Callie their beloved dog. Moe enjoyed bowling, restoring antique vehicles, woodworking projects and golf, spending every free moment he had on the golf course, but most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family.
