Our dearly loved grandson, son, brother, uncle, and nephew, Mark Edward Morrison, was called home to our Lord on November 27 ^th , 2018. He was welcomed into the arms of grandparents Duane and Dorothy Morrison, grandfather Spencer Peugh, aunt Pam Reddy, and sister Megan Morrison.  He is survived by his grandmother Barbara Neu, parents Gary and Renee Morrison, brothers Matthew and Mitchell Morrison, sisters Becky Schroeder (Mike), Marcy Clutter (Rick) and Mandy Biddle (Brandon), aunts Candy Curtis (Dan), Judy Pitts (Joel), and Dana Whitworth (Alan), and numerous loving cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Put simply, Mark lived a big life. A beautifully talented soul, he began his musical career playing tuba at Central Valley High School in the marching band. He began lessons with bass guitar about 14 years old and was quickly captivated by the instrument. Thus began a lifelong pursuit of musical creativity that led him to once be heralded "best bassist this side of the Mississippi!" His career included playing with several local and regional bands, touring, and the development of 'Mark Morrison Trio' with one of his dearest friends.  He played off and on throughout his life, always returning to this passion.

He had a passion and thirst for knowledge that was never quenched. He attended Spokane Falls Community College, University of Idaho, and Eastern Washington University at various times in an effort to better himself.  Mark drew from his life and educational experience to feel and view the world in a way few others can. He felt the core and pure rhythm of life; utilizing his music to translate it for others.  He was an interpreter for the music of life.

Mark struggled for many years with substance abuse and mental illness.  In more recent times, despite his love for and the release it provided, he was unable to play music publically. Even in the midst of his personal pain, he never ceased caring for others. Mark gave of his time, money, and possessions at the drop of a hat. Through his service, Mark exemplified the pure love of Christ.  He remained with the souls that need Him most.

His family and friends left on Earth are heart broken and will miss him beyond words. We take comfort knowing he is free of pain and addiction. It was most perfectly stated by his brother Matt on the day of his death: "The world lost a powerful chord."
