Morley was born on May 1, 1959, to Reuben and Drucilla. He loved spending time with his family. His passions were hunting, trapping and fishing. Especially with his brother Ward. He enjoyed nothing more to sit back and watch his favourite Toronto Blue Jays while enjoying a drink.

Morley shared 42 years with the love of his life Gertie Park. Together they built a beautiful life filled with love, laughter and precious memories. He was a proud and loving father to his daughter Roxanne (Michael) Lacey and his son Ryan (Robin) and the most cherished grandfather to his beloved grandchildren: Stephen, Taylor, Liam and Emily. They were his world. He treasured every moment with them and his love will remain with them forever.

Morley was predeceased by his parents, his brother Brian and Mother and father-in-law Mildred and Benjamin Park.

He was a hard worker. Over the years, he worked many jobs, including the family sawmill, and later on construction across the country.
