Thomas Patrick Morris, 58, passed away suddenly on June 2, 2025. He was born on February 9, 1967, in Sharon, Pennsylvania to Frank and Amelia Naomi (Engrao) Morris.
Those who knew Thomas would recall that he was always intrigued by trains, whether the old coal-powered locomotives or the diesel trains that are currently in use today. Early on, he began to collect HO scale model train sets and had accumulated quite a collection later during his lifetime. Another of Thomas' interests was related to the weather, varying from strong lightning storms to that of tornadoes and the people who "chased" them. Thomas enjoyed playing video games with his children with some of the latest gaming consoles of the time. Thomas was also a faithful Christian and follower of the word of God. He often expressed his beliefs, whether in person or through social media. You could rely on him to spread the Lord's message.
Tom is survived by his loving children, Patrick Morris and Kaitlyn (Preston) Morris Hardesty; grandsons, Grayson and Connor; siblings, Rick Applegate, Nancy Applegate Miller, James Morris, and Gina Kostas Lawler. He was preceded in death by his father, Frank Morris; his mother and step-father, Amelia and Emanuel Kostas; siblings, Janet Applegate and Marc Morris.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to Sambrano Funeral & Cremation, Gurnee, IL. You may sign the online guestbook at LauraSambranoFunerals.com; 847-571-7719.
