Mr. Stephen Austin Morris Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Our sweet and beloved Stephen Austin Morris, 23, of Comer, GA unexpectedly passed away on Monday, August 5, 2019, at the Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center in Athens, GA. Mr. Morris was born in Athens, GA, on January 19, 1996, son of Lynn Chantel Brooks Mathews of Comer, GA, and the late Stephen Gerald Morris. He was a 2014 graduate of Madison County High School and was an HVAC technician/installer having worked with D & D Heating and Air. Austin had a deep love for his family, and cherished the time they spent together. He was always comical; never failing to bring laughter to those around him. His infectious smile could turn a bad day into a great one with just one joke. He was eager to make people happy and just wanted to see them smile. Austin was a very intelligent individual and extremely hard working. He was an outdoorsman, an avid fisherman, especially when it came to trout fishing. He really enjoyed going to Helen with his mom and brother; and also enjoyed playing baseball, basketball and football. He was a believer in God. Austin loved so many, and was loved by so many more. He had an energy that with just one encounter with him, you would remember him for life. Austin had so much goodness and brought so much happiness to others. The world is a lesser place without this young man. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Judy Diane Loggins "Grandma"; and great grandparents, Nell Presley Brooks “Mamaw” and John Brooks “Papa John”, and Nell Morris “Granny Nell.” Survivors include his mother, Lynn Mathews of Comer, GA; step-father, Greg Mathews of Comer, GA; brother, Tyler Bridges (Beth) of Dewy Rose, GA; sister, Celsey Morris of Colbert, GA; and step-grandfather, Wayne Loggins "Papa" of Danielsville, GA, many cousins and friends.
