Christian David Morris

Christian David Morris, age 51, passed away on March 15, 2026 in Jackson, Tennessee. He was born on February 20, 1975 in Los Angeles, California to the late Maria Misquez. He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister, Darcy Hanley.

Chris is survived by his fiancee, Emily Crowder; son, David Morris; daughters, Carson Morris(Zack Richard) and Alex Boulanger; grandsons, Cade Richard and Joseph Boulanger; unborn granddaughter, Lyla Anthony expected in April; and niece, Oceana Winstead.

Christian was a wonderful, loyal friend to so many, and he will be terribly missed by us all. We will remember him, not in his wheelchair, not in pain, but on his skateboard or on his bike with his beloved Piper by his side. He always brought a smile and a joke, probably at your expense or at his own.

Perhaps most memorable about Christian was the love and joy that his children brought into his life. He was a loving, doting, and devoted father, and his children were the absolute light of his life.

All family and friends are invited to a celebration of Christian’s life on Saturday, April 4, 2026 at 8:00 p.m. at the American Legion, 221 Central St, Martin, Tennessee. Come have a drink, and let’s share, laugh, and love in Christian’s memory.

Laverne Wallace Alexander

Laverne Wallace Alexander, age 95, of Jackson, Tennessee, passed away peacefully. She was born on September 25, 1930, in Jackson, Tennessee, to the late Velma and James Wallace.

Laverne lived a life marked by deep faith, love for her family, and devotion to her church. She was a faithful member of Westover Baptist Church for 52 years and served as director of childcare for Westover Baptist Church from 1983 until its closing. Her dedication and service to the church reflected her lifelong love for the Lord.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Clarence Alexander; her children, Deloris Moody, Jackie Alexander, and Joey Alexander; and her son-in-law, Joe Patrick.

She is survived by her daughter, Linda Patrick of Martinez, Georgia; 17 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren, all of whom lovingly knew her by her favorite name, “MawMaw.”

Laverne never met a stranger. She loved to talk with people and had the ability to remember every name. One of her greatest joys was sharing her love for the Lord with anyone she met.

She enjoyed spending time in her yard growing flowers and tomatoes, watching the birds and squirrels at her many bird feeders, and cheering on the Atlanta Braves. Above all, she treasured being “MawMaw” and loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren dearly.

Visitation for friends and family will be held Friday from 1:00–2:00 p.m. with services to follow at Lawrence-Sorensen Funeral Home in Jackson, with Brother Stan Griffin officiating. Interment will follow in Ridgecrest Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Southern Baptist Convention in her memory.
