 LOWVILLE- James Michael
Morrison, lovingly known as Jim, passed away on July 9, 2025, at the age of
57, leaving behind a legacy of humor, kindness, and unwavering love for his
family.
Born on April 23,
1968, in Lowville, New York, Jim was a youth athlete and graduated from
Lowville Academy in 1986. In 1997, he relocated to Danville, Virginia, with
his former wife Marion Freeman of many years and their children, where he
would remain for the rest of his life. He was a proud alumnus of the
Culinary Institute of Virginia, graduating in 2011 with honors — earning
cum laude distinction, Dean’s List recognition, and perfect attendance. He
dedicated 14 years to the food industry, where he took great pride in his
craft and service.
Jim was known for
his crudeness and quick wit, sarcastic sense of humor, and boundless
generosity. Behind his comedic nature was a deeply tender and selfless man
who always put others first. He found joy in the simple things and had a
heart that held space for everyone.
He is survived by
his loving children: Mallory Tickle (Brian Lowery), Meredith Stone (Joseph
Stone), Matthew Morrison (Kayla Morrison), and Melinda Morrison (Jeff
Lyons).
He was a proud
Papa to Mallory, Arora, Zaiden, Brookelynn, Brayden, Alexis, Kyran,
Felicity, Avery, Ireland, Porter, Haven, Oliver, Evelyn, Claudia, Kessler,
Gabriel, Benjamin, Riverly, Silas, and Sawyer.
He is also
survived by his siblings: Randy Morrison (Sue Morrison), Steve Morrison,
Amanda Morrison Sullivan (Rob West), and Sara Clark (Josh Clark).
He is preceded in
death by his parents, Francis and Randolph Morrison, and his grandson,
Atley Tickle.
Jim had many fond
memories of his hometown of Lowville, especially spending time on Tugg Hill
and at MOTO with family and friends — moments he recalled often and with
great affection.
In lieu of
flowers, donations or tributes are appreciated to help with final expenses.
Jim’s memory will
live on in the laughter he sparked, his
humor, the foods he loved, his distinct personality traits and the immense
care he showed to his family.
In honor of James wishes, there will be no funeral services. A
Celebration of Life will take place for his New York family and friends at a date and time TBD.
