Mr. Nathan Morris was a family man first and foremost. He was active in the community and ran for the Canton School Board recently. On August 10, 2024, he was walking in his neighborhood with his family when another neighbor became angry with them. He sent his family ahead and try to calm things down, but the neighbor came out with a gun.

Surviving are his wife and two children. He will be missed by the hundreds of people who knew him, loved him, and enjoyed his can-do spirit and strong focus on the work and responsibilities, which he took on at the cost of precious family time, especially reading to his children at bedtime. Please remember him in your prayers.

The outpouring of generosity of the campaign has been far beyond our expectations. We set a goal of $25,000 as a reach goal, and the community has responded overwhelmingly and smashed through it on the 12th of August. At this time, we have now raised the goal to $50,000 in case anyone might think they are no longer allowed to give above the $25,000 mark. This fund remains a result of your generosity, and all of the money, less the standard GiveSendGo fees, will go to the family. Thank you again everyone!!!

The donations are exceeding anything we dreamed of. Once again, with the surviving family in mind, we are raising the goal to $75,000 to prevent any would-be donors from turning away. The memorial gathering and funeral will be this Saturday at St. Michael Lutheran Church at 7000 N Sheldon Road Canton, MI starting at 11:00AM. Another heartfelt thank you for the continued generosity. <3 https://www.hometownlife.com/story/news/2024/08/14/fatal-shooting-nathan-morris-memorial-mass-canton/74800741007/

Thank you again everyone for this outpouring of support for the Morris family. I am calling the family every few days to ask them to give me information so that I can transfer the funds, but at the same time respecting their space as they grieve before pivoting to receiving this endowment. I will keep updating you from time to time until the transfer is complete.

29 Aug. 2024

All, we're arranging to transfer the funds directly to the family, tentatively for the week of 9-13 September 2024. I will keep you up to date as the week approaches and once complete, advise you how it went. Stay tuned! Thank you again for your amazing support of this worthy cause.
