Mr. Morris was born December 15, 1954 in Phenix City, AL son of the late Solon “Samuel” Morris, Jr. and Helen Juanita “Nita” Ingram Morris. Clint, an Auburn University accounting graduate, retired as Controller for Piedmont Columbus Regional Hospital. “Big Daddy” as he was known by many loved ones, enjoyed traveling with family and friends while firmly positioned in the driver’s seat. His travels took him coast to coast as he explored nature, natural wonders, man-made marvels and following his alma mater’s football team. War Eagle!

His advice, positive attitude, helpfulness and wittiness will be dearly missed and never forgotten.
