Morse, Grant

 July 2, 2017

Obituary

Richard “Grant” Morse, 47, of Irving passed away early Sunday morning, July 2, 2017. He is survived by his beautiful daughter Harlee and loving sons Landry and Chase all of Irving.  He is also survived by his lovely fiancé, Melissa of Irving and his precious mother, Kathy of Grand Prairie.  Left to grieve their brother are Lee Galvan of Irving and Jason Petross of Grand Prairie, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.  Although an only child, Grant has a long list of brothers that love, respect and admire him including his FB McIntire brothers. He is preceded in death by his father Richard Glenn Morse and his best friend, partner in crime of all things Dallas Cowboys, Joe Galvan known to all as “Big Joe”. Grant is a 1989 graduate of Irving High school where he played Tiger football. He loves his teammates like brothers and enjoys meeting up with them as often as he could, including the “Broken Bow” weekends scheduled for July each year.  He also enjoys hosting “HPT poker night” and filling his home with friends and fun spirited competition. Anyone who knows Grant knows that he is an avid Cowboys fan. His home is filled with memorabilia; his guilty pleasures are “game time” rituals and his Facebook is littered with those hilarious, sledge-hammer, opposing team can crushing videos.  His love for and loyalty to his Cowboys was shared by his fiancé Melissa.  Grant had orchestrated and organized a sweet ceremony at Cowboy Stadium in August where he planned to marry his best friend (wearing his Romo jersey) on the Star on the 50 yard line during an intimate gathering of family and friends. His children are the true stars of his world. He is a gentle generous and highly respected father who cherishes his children.  He is extremely proud of their accomplishments and loving hearts.  He loves to laugh with, tease and joke with them and has provided a strong work ethic for them to live by.  Harlee is who she is today because of the unconditional love and support he has given her.  Landry is our future sportscaster because of the vast knowledge of the game of football that he inherited from his father. Chase will have the memories of the last year to use as a guide to becoming a man of good will and fantastic character. The family will accept visitors on Saturday, July 8, 2017 at 11:00 AM with a Celebration of his life to begin at 1:00 PM Pioneer Drive Baptist, 4034 W. Pioneer Drive, Irving, TX 75061.  Grant’s wishes were to be cremated and his final resting place will eventually be a niche in Serenity III at Oak Grove Memorial Gardens, half way between his father and Big Joe.  Grant will be loved and missed by ALL who knew him.

    There would never be enough words to describe the live I have for Grant and his family. I keep remembering childhood memories of Grant and I. We went to our 1st Cowboy Game about 6 yrs old and we froze the entire time. Grant drank my milk for me every night so I wouldn’t have to. We had many many water pic fights while brushing out teeth. He used to let me climb on his back to reach the Flintstones vitamins just so we could eat them.lol So many fun times with him. Grant has such a huge heart and is adored by every life he touched. I pray for all those he left behind that God places peace in their hearts. Until we meet again my friend!

    What a loss–I’m so sorry you’re enduring this tragedy right now. It is obvious from the comments here that Mr. Morse was a powerful and positive force in the lives of others. I hope the assurance that Revelation 21:4 gives can bring you some comfort while you contemplate pleasant memories of him and wait until you see him once more.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
