Rodney Tien Morris' Obituary
Rodney Tien Morris, aged 59, passed out of this life into the next one on the afternoon of April 22, 2025. He grew up in La Jolla and University City, and he lived in San Diego County his entire life, except for a brief time when he lived in Seattle followed by Palm Springs. Rodney was active in non-profit communities, and he worked in leadership roles at various non-profits, including the Alano Live and Let Live Club and Goodwill Industries of San Diego.
Rodney was baptized at the Canyon View Church of Christ and remained strong in his faith in God throughout his life. He loved being with family and friends. Rodney was a voracious reader, lover of music, and adventurous traveler. All of us will miss his infectious sense of humor, room-filling laugh, and practical jokes. Rodney had had many health conditions over the years, and their long-term effects had an impact on his body that resulted in his passing.
His surviving family, including his three siblings—Carlos J. Morris, Alicia R. Morris, and Elyce C. Morris-Gemoets (Kevin), ask that you remember Rodney fondly and pray for his soul to have a good repose in Christ.
