SGT. Randy Wayne “ROO” Morrison, 26, a native of Baton Rouge, La., and stationed at “Brooke Army Medical Center” in San Antonio, Texas, where his MOS was Pharmacy Tech, passed away Tuesday, Oct. 6.


Randy is survived by his parents Wayne and Julie Morrison of Morgan City, La.; one brother Rod Morrison and wife Kimberly of Morgan City; two precious nieces, Hannah and Julia, both of Morgan City; four cousins, Keith Crouch, Kourtney Crouch, Heather Gagliano and Casey Gros, all of Morgan City; grandmother, Evelyn Boudreaux Morrison of Morgan City; nanny, Joycelyn Slaton; uncle, Hershel Slaton of Morgan City; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends; and his faithful puppies, Champ and Layla.

Randy was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Joyce Falcon Cooley and Henry Dugas Jr.; paternal grandfather, Sterling Morrison; and uncle, Henry Dugas III.


Pallbearers to serve will be Rod Morrison, Keith Crouch, David Guidry, 1st SGT. Jimmy Hamilton, Carlo Gagliano and Chris Bolano. Honorary Pallbearers to serve will be Joe Jones, Robert Buckner, Hud Jackson and Javier Birriel.

A man’s legacy lives on long after his days on this earth have ended. This will be evident in every person that Randy met and every life that he touched. He was an honorable and loyal friend to so many. Our lives have been overwhelmed by the memories that have been shared with us throughout these grief-filled days. Randy’s favorite bible verse was Romans 8:28-And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. Randy’s work on earth is done – his work in heaven has begun.

A time of remembrance and reflection will be observed 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Oct. 12, at Hargrave Funeral Home. Services for Randy will begin at 3:00 p.m. in the funeral home chapel. Full Military Honors will be conducted at graveside. Randy will be laid to rest at Morgan City Mausoleum.

Hargrave Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
