Rolland E. Morris

Rolland E. "Rocky" Morris, born on April 28, 1954, in Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away on August 5, 2025. He will be remembered fondly by his family and friends for his jovial spirit, love of family, and zest for life.

As a devoted husband, Rocky is survived by his loving wife, Cindy Morris. His legacy continues through his children: Tammy (Rick) Otis, Kristen Jordan, Ashley (Tim Morgan) Morris, Kaylee (Josh) Nutt, Dawn Rackley, and Kelly (Chris) Burton and Trisha (Joe Bowling) Miller. Rocky’s family tree flourished with joy as he adored his grandchildren: Ricky (Alyssa), Sydney (Jeff), Kassidy, Kamryn, Johnny, Timmy, Austin, Audrey, Jayce "Harry," and Corey. He was also a proud great-grandfather to Ricky III, Will, Annie, Barrett, James, Miles, and Kinsley.

Rocky was a beloved member of the Morris family, cherished by his siblings: Rita (John) Hall, Bud (late Carol) Morris, Gary (Peggy) Morris, Deron (Brenda) Morris, Tony (Kathy) Morris, Kevin Morris, Jeff Morris, and Mark Morris. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, Floyd and Barbara Morris, and siblings Larry Morris, Connie Piening, and Karen Ronan, as well as Brenda Ashbrook. Their memories, along with Rocky’s, will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Rocky was known for his playful nature and sense of humor; he was a true jokester who brought laughter to every gathering. He had a great passion for sports, especially the Cincinnati Bengals and Reds. His adventurous spirit led him to enjoy outings at Casino "The Boat" , where he made many cherished memories. Above all, he savored moments spent with his children and grandchildren. He did enjoy his daily trips to UDF getting a coffee and reading the paper.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Rocky's life with a visitation on August 11, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, followed by a funeral service from 1:00 PM. Both events will take place at Vitt, Stermer & Anderson Funeral Home Delhi, 4619 Delhi Pike, Cincinnati, OH 45238. At Rocky's request, please wear Bengals attire!  In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Barrett Otis Research Fund for Males | International Rett Syndrome Foundation (rettsyndrome.org)

As we mourn the loss of Rocky, we honor his legacy of love, laughter, and the joy he brought into our lives. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
