I worked with him way back in the 80's, we worked at the station in Metter. He was one of a kind and will be missed for a long time to come. Misty Rose

As the holiday season fastly approaches us, I am sure this time of year will be most hardest on the family. I pray that you feel God's loving arm wrapped around you. God Bless Your Family. MSJ

i allways enjoy talking to him

I remember my first season with Vidalia Communication for football season. Chuck made me feel like part of the family from the first night. I will really miss him in the upcoming seasons; he helped keep Chester in line. My prayers are still going out to his family, even though I only knew Chuck for a short time I know he was a very loving father(he loved his girls) and he was very good friend to all he met!! We will miss you Chuck & we love you! Connie Clifton & family

I was reading the Southeast Georgia Today Web Portal and was greatly saddened to hear about Chuck. I have been out of the loop for some time but when I heard that he had passed it made my day just a bit dimmer. Please pass along to his family my condolences. Tell them that he did make my morning brighter, he was always nice when I spoke with him, always had time to ask how your day was and always always went out of his way to help me when I asked him. He will be missed by more than a few and that is the mark of a good man.

I want to send my prayers to Chucks family. Man I always loved calling in to answer the Sports Time Trivia questions and the way he'd say "Hey Bill whats going on man?" I will truely miss his voice in the mornings as I drive to work. The Lord must have needed a radio man, a great man! Billy Goodwin

I remember the first time I met Chuck. I was at Sally Meadows, still in elementary school. I was asked to do a radio spot for one of my classes, and Chuck came over to run things for the students. I remember just how cool it was when he said I had a "good radio voice." The same person I had heard on the radio with his clear articulation and voice had complimented me on my own. Later in high school, I was offered a part-time job at the radio station where Chuck was still running the morning show. He complimented me on one of the spots I did, and I had the same feeling of pride I had when I was in elementary school. He let me know that everyone made mistakes on the air when I made my own mistakes. We talked about music we enjoyed. We talked about ourselves. He is one of the main reasons I enjoy radio even today, listening or working. Perhaps God will send along my thoughts to him. Thanks for the times, Chuck.

I was very sad to hear about chuck's passing. I worked with him at the radio staion from 200-2002. He was always friendly and helpful, and he had a good sense of humor. He was always a pleasant co-worker. He will surely be missed. Much love to his family. Melissa Clark

Chuck was always a positive person and I always enjoyed talking to him. He made friends so naturally and was a great person to be around. He truly had a gift for making people feel good. My condolences to his family. Chris Carroll

I enjoyed meeting and getting to know Chuck, when i worked alongside Collins Knighton during the football season. he was an awesome guy and will be missed....

what a sad day it was when we lost chuck, the morning commute will not be the same, he will be missed. my heart goes out to his family. caroline carter.

We will miss hearing your voice over the waves. We know that you are already taking care of the radio waves above. You are in a better lace looking down and taking care of us as one of our guardian angels.

As Chuck climbs the stairway to heaven, to rest high on the mountain, we all share our thoughts, prayers and heartfelt sympathy to his family, coworkers, and listeners. Chuck everyone misses you...Carry On My Wayward Son

Sonya, This is a shock and my paryers and love are with you and your family. We will miss him every morning on 98Q he was great.. Felicia Dykes, Soperton

To: Family of Chuck Morris Please accept my heart-felt sympathy for the sudden and unexpected loss of Chuck. My relationship with him started as a radio listener. I felt a quick connection to the voice on the morning radio. I'd call in for Sports Trivia then later I'd chat with him off the air. I felt our relationship grew into a friendship and I never met him personally. In time he realized I was a physician and eventually became my patient. Needless to say even though I knew of his medical conditions his death came as a shock to me. I was very saddened by the news and the fact that I would never hear him on the radio again. I know he was a highly-driven individual and this was strongly motivated by the love of his daughters. He needed to feel he could adequately provide for their needs. I feel that Chuck wasn't only my patient but also my friend. I think he became a friend to many people and he will be truly missed. Sincerely, Dr. Tony Salvo

He told me several times at length how much he loved his Children and wanted the very best for them. He was a fine man, friendly, interest in others, and a very worthy person and citizen.

Chuck and I started working at STC in 2003. I new him from the radio, but I got to know him at work. He always came to work with a smile. He would say "how's it going Ms. Ann". I will miss him very much. I am praying for his family, especially Courtney. Ann Barfield(Ms. Ann)

Years ago,probably 10 years ago I won the Tracy Byrd tickets,backstage passes and the limo to the concert.I remember that Chuck was part of the package too.Me and my girlfriend could not wait until the concert.The limo picked us up at my sister's house.It was so funny whenever the limo backed out of her driveway it knocked over the mail box.That was so funny we all laughed so hard we thought we'd die.We went to the concert had our pictures taken with Tracey Byrd.Then went wherever we wanted to go after that,That was one of the best times I have ever had in my life.I found those pictures and they break my heart.Chuck I miss you and you wre somthing else

Lots of Love and prayers to the family of Chuck, both personal and professional. You can feel the love and saddness felt by everyone that Chuck has touched in one way or another. I have been blessed to spend some time with Chuck at the station doing some tickets give-aways and talking about upcoming events. He was always so friendly and helpful. I also enjoyed every morning listening to him. He was the finest DJ here and I agree that the "Heavenly Radio Station" has just received the best DJ!!!

This is a hard thought to sit and write. I worked at night with Chuck at STC. There was never a time that Chuck didn't have kind and thoughtful words for everyone that came in. It was hard when I got the call Monday morning. He also had to ask each week how I was doing. We spent time each week talking about our families. Those talks will be sadly missed each week. My thoughts and prays are with his family, just always remember how proud he was of you. I'll miss you buddy.

I will cherish the memories of Charlie Merrion. Charlie and I would brag about our children together and talk about sports. My children were into sports while attending David Emanuel Academy and Charlie was doing the games at Robert Toombs, so our conversations jumped quickly to the quality of the respective school's team each year. Charlie's wife works with me in Swainsboro so I was able to talk to Charlie quite often because he was always calling to check on his children. I will miss Charlie but I will cherish the memories. Sidney Lanier, Swainsboro, GA

Heaven now has a DJ, rest in peace Chuck. Mornings around Vidalia won't be the same! V Smith

Words can't describe the loss of Chuck Merrion "Morris". But a song will always be in our heart because he made sure we all had music. Those of us who had to work late into the evening at STC, felt secure and blessed to have someone like him watching out for us. I know he will continue to watch us from heaven above. May the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord lift his face upon you and be gracious unto you, and give you peace. We will miss you!!! Deborah Smith

Chuck helped teach me alot about working in radio. He was a joy to work with. My prayers are with his family.

I’m sorry for ya’ll loss but happy for heaven’s gain.

Zack, I don’t think I can say it any better than you did in your quote on “Newsbreak”. We all loved Chuck and looked forward to his sports trivia questions each morning. He will truly be missed by all his fans.

I first met Chuck at STC when was taken some night classes. I have been listening to him for years in the morning. I will truly miss talking to him in the mornings. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and he will be truly missed.

My heart goes out to chuck's Family!! I didn't know him personally, my husband used to dj with him, but i did listen to him on the radio everymorning on the way to school, and up until his passing as well he well be truely missed!!

I have tried typing the right words several times, and I keep deleting and starting over. I have known Chuck for many years, but really came to know him well when I hired him to work at STC as one of our night security guards back in 2003. For six years, the staff of STC had the privelege of listening to him in the mornings and then visiting with him in the afternoons. He was always very personable and went out of his way to speak to everybody. I am listening to John Koon right now say that it seems unfinished -- Chuck took a few days off from STC as well as the radio station and didn't come back. It seems like we have unfinished business as well. So, let me say, on behalf of the entire STC family, that we appreciate your dedication to us and our students for the past 6 years. Even when you didn't feel well, you put the safety of our students above your personal well-being. I know your body went physically as far as it could go on this earth and just gave out--but you refused to give up, and got the most out of this life that you possibly could. I don't know why, but this familiar verse keeps coming to my head as I type this: “May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.” I hope you are enjoying your rest in Heaven - you certainly earned it.

Chuck was an employee here at STC as a night security guard and receptionist. His main station was at the Medical Building across the pond from where my office is so I didn't see him very often. But I did occasionally see him and he would always call me by my name and speak as he walked by my office. I just happened to be listening to 98Q this morning when you aired the special in his memory. It was very touching and I was thinking that I wished I had paid more attention to Chuck's announcements, etc. when he was on the air. I would like for his family to know that he was very personable and went out of his way to greet people. My son, Fletcher Clark, had the privilege of working with him briefly when he was the night security guard at the main campus here a couple years ago. They were good friends and Fletcher talked highly of Chuck. Chuck will be greatly missed but like the DJ said this morning, he is making people smile on the airwaves in heaven. Thank you,

John Shomby forwarded me a note about Chuck's passing. So sorry to hear. Needless to say, if there's anything you need from us, let us know. (Once part of the 98Q family, always part of the family.)

For 4 years, Chuck always took the time before I left STC in the evenings to ask how each of my children and husband were doing. He always talked about his girls and how proud he was of them and he had stories to tell when he had the time. He made sure the evening studets and instructors were taken care of at STC. I am going to miss spending time with him every evening and listening to him on my way to work. It just doesn't seem right and things will not be the same. Dusty Pittman-Willhite & Family

Our family has lost a dear friend and one who was considered a family member. He cannot be replaced. Our prayers go out to his family. May he rest in peace. We will never forget him.

I have known "Chuck" for a long time. I got to know him years ago when my work would enter the free pizza give aways at lunch. I remember telling him , if I were ever the winner just please send a hint so I wouldn't have to talk on the radio because of my country accent. Everyone had always picked on me and my younger sister because of our accents and he was sensitive about that too.That's one reason I'll never forget him.He'd send the hint and I'd always get someone else to act like me on the phone.I can also say years ago whenever I was expecting my daughter I would drive to Soperton Ga. to pick my young brother up from school ,I would see Chuck at the elementry school picking up kids too.I would always stop at the store to get my brother a snack and Chuck always stopped to get the kids he was picking up snacks too.That told me that he was very dedicated.The years went by quickly, our routines changed,but Chuck was always on the radio everyday.Since this school year ,I put my daughter out at SDM that's the time 98Q always tells the jokes of the morning.Somedays I absolutley could not get them and you could always hear Chuck laughing in the back ground.The only thing that went through my head is that he's laughing because he has to.ha.ha. Then the really funny ones I always laugh and repeat them throughout the day and I'd always notice his laugh was different.That shows the great job he did and he loved it.I was absolutely heartbroken whenever I heard Chuck passed away. I listened to the radio today and all I thought about was how different it was.Chuck is missed! Jesus has an awesome broadcaster now that's for sure. Chuck's family is in my prayers.

I know he will be missed terribly at the station and by all who heard him on the air. I hope that during this most difficult time, all of Chuck's family and friends are comforted in knowing that his life was meaningful to more people than can be counted. From the regular listener to the unknown traveler through the area, anyone who heard Chuck on the radio had a better day because of it. May he be remembered as a true talent in his field, and may his spirit rest in peace.

What a shock to lose Chuck Morris. Mornings just will not be the same.

To Chuck's family, How heart broken I was to hear about Chuck. I would like to tell you how I knew Chuck. When I came to work at United Way along with my job came Chuck. Over the last ten years God has blessed me in so many ways. One of those ways was the friend He gave me in Chuck. I am so thankful for that blessing. His friendship is one that I will always treasure. As our friendship grew I learn real quick if I needed anything he would be there to help me out. He made sure that all our PSA were done by our agencies during our United Way Fall Campaign. If I needed music he was very quick to find it for me. Chuck was one to do for others in a quiet way, not for man's approval but for His Lord's. I would also call Chuck in the mornings with birthdays and he always made me feel special just to hear my voice. Chuck and I talked about his children a lot. He really loved all of you. He wanted to make sure that you came first. I pray that God's grace will be sufficient for everyone of you. I will end this the way the Chuck always ended our conversations. If you ever need anything just give me a call.

I'm so sorry to hear about Chuck. Although I only met him once during the 98Q reunion, what a terrific person he was. He worked as our producer that morning and handled everything on the air in our chaotic atmosphere. I know he must have been a great asset for you and an exceptional representative of the radio stations. My condolences go out to you, the station staff and his family. Bright lights like Chuck will be sorely missed.

The Vidalia Indian Baseball Team and Coaching Staff were so sorry to hear about the sudden death of Chuck. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your staff and Chuck's family. We will certainly miss Chuck. It's like we rode to school with him everyday and we really enjoyed his trivia sports questions. He was so professional with the people that called in with the answers. The radio station has been so good to our program and we feel we have a lost a member of our extended family. May God Bless. Thinking of you,

Was saddened to hear of Chuck's passing. Please pass along our condolences to his family.

When I first heard, I thought I'd misunderstood. I worked with Chuck at the radio station for 5 years. He was one of the brightest parts of the day. He was a wonderful person and dear friend to me. I could talk to him about anything, personal or related to work. Whether on the air or talking face to face Chuck made you feel special. Since I've been away from the station, Chuck has taken my daughter, Libby, under his wing and treated her as his own. He made such a difference in so many lives. I was in a store last week and someone yelled across the store, "CHRISTINA". I knew who it was before looking and turned to a big smile and hug, as always. My condolences go out to his family. He loved his girls so much and spoke proudly of them always. To my friends and family at the station, My thoughts are with you. I can't imagine Chuck not there. I will miss dearly, Chuck. But I look forward to seeing you again!! Love you always.

I was working at 98Q when Chuck first came there. He came to replace me on the Q Morning Crew and while showing him the ropes so to speak, I quickly realized what a unique and genuine person he was. As time passed we became friends, but then again, he became friends with everyone he met. We traveled together on occasions to do play by play and I have and always will cherish the memories of those trips. Never a boring ride when he was in the car. I remember his laughter, his humor, and most of all I remember his character.... I was shocked along with everyone else to hear of his passing, but rest assured he's making the angels laugh and heaven is a much better place now that he's home. My prayers are with Chuck's family, may God Bless all of you. Scott Crabb

Chuck was not only my co-worker, but my very close friend..Chuck was a happy go lucky person and always wanted harmony between everyone..oh yes, he could get mad at times, but it only lasted for a few minutes. He never held a grudge aginst anyone and always tried to see the good in them..I used Chuck to vent my frustrations sometimes and he would tell me.."Aw sis(that is what he called me), all you need is a hug". I remember the first time I met Chuck. It was an instant friendship that lasted for the whole ten years that I have been here..I remember the time I threw something away that he needed to work with and he did not make me come all the way back to the station to get it, he dug it out of the trash himself. Chuck loved his family more than he loved himself..his girls were lucky to have a good loving father..and no matter what, they came first..I remember him asking me to pray for his oldest daughter when she was battleing her cancer..and I also remember him saying.."The Lord healed her". Chuck will ALWAYS be a happy memory for me and I will miss him dearly..Rest in peace my friend.. Joyce Foskey

Just Wednesday night, we laughed and talked after my night class. He was always smiling and pleasant and I know he will make a great Angel. I will see him one day.

Chasity Davis at Brewton-Parker sent me the news Monday morning of Chuck's passing. I was sad to hear this news but have spent much of the day thinking about how fun he was to listen to and excited he was to talk with on the air. I will cherish the prizes I still have won because of his assistance (Halloween shirt and State Quarter collection) in his memory. He's a one-of-a-kind and I know you guys will miss him. Thank you for being a special part of my career and the chance to know all of you on a personal as well as professional basis, and I will always have fond memories of Chuck. God bless,

I was shocked and saddened to read about the death of Charles, better known to me as Chuck. I've enjoyed listening to him on 98Q for years, and we always looked forward to his coming to school to record our students' radio spots. He was always so interested in what was going on at the school. He was very patient with the students, and his manner with them made them confident. He was also always happy to slide in an impromptu on-air congratulations when I called him to tell him our students had won sporting events or other contests. Charles will be sadly missed by his friends at J. R. Trippe Middle School.

was saddened upon hearing of Chuck's passing.He truly was one of the"good guys"! Each time I talked to him,I could picture his smile in my mind's eye.The world is a poorer place today.He will truly be missed. My heart-felt condolences to his girls,whom he always spoke of with a "Daddy's heart", as well as the rest of his family. A long-time fan,

I was so sorry to hear about Chuck. He was the voice of 98Q and will be greatly missed. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family and everyone at Vidalia Communications.

Chuck, as most of us know him as, Will be missed. No, I didn't personally know him. But, through the radio he made you feel like he was your best friend! His work on Earth is done. God needed his smiling voice in Heaven! He will be missed as we have listened to him every morning for a while. My sympathy to Chuck's immediate family as well as his work family as well as his audience. May God comfort all our hearts! My prayers are with you all,

I worked with Chuck at night at SETC. He was my buddy and I will miss him greatly. May god be with you during this time and my family will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Chuck and I have been friends for as long as he has worked at Southeastern Tech. He and I always shared some time together in the evenings talking about our families, work, and health issues (which we both dealt with). I respected him tremendously for his hard work and the love and concern he had for his family. I will miss him dearly.

My heart broke this morning when I heard the news of Chuck’s passing. Abby & I listened to him every morning during our drive to school and work. He always managed to bring a smile to our faces. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chuck’s family and his radio station family. May God wrap you in His infinite love and comfort you during this difficult time. Chuck will be missed by all of us.

I’m so sorry for your loss…..I worked with Chuck at STC and even though I didn’t see him much, the times that I did he was always happy and always smiling.

To the Merrion Family From the Wiggs Family We send our deepest and sincere condolences. May God peace and comfort be with you in your time of sorrow. May God Bless keep you and be with you in your time of bereavement.

I’d like to extend my deepest condolences to the family. Chuck was a great person and we will greatly miss him here at Southeastern Tech. He always had a smile on his face and a willingness to help anyone with a need. May you hold his memories close to your hearts during this trying time.

I was so sadden to learn of Chuck’s passing. He was a great guy and a good friend. His voice will be sorely missed. I will keep you all in my prayers.

I was very sad to learn of the news that my dear friend, Chuck, passed away! I have known Chuck for several years; we worked together at Southeastern Tech. Chuck always put a smile on my face, and always knew what to say to cheer me up and brighten my day. We shared many laughs over the years, and I will always cherish his friendship and appreciate the difference that he made in my life. One thing is certain, Chuck loved life, his jobs, his friends, and his family. We talked many times about his children, and it was so obvious that he loved his girls!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you all!

Dear Christina, I know that this a very difficult time for you and your family. I wanted to let you know that Carlton and I share in your grief. Your daddy was a very good friend. I remember how concerned he was about you math grade when he called and asked me to help you. I also remember that he was so very proud of you when that grade improved. You and your family will be in our prayers. Please know that you can call if you need my help.

This is a hard thing to write about because Chuck was a Great Friend. When I had BIG K's opened there was no other D.J. that I wanted but Chuck (Merrion) Morris. Being a DJ myself for over 20 years, I loved Chuck's Personality. He was a caring man that really loved his kids and all of my kids at BIG K's. I became great friends with Chuck. He was always working or doing something to keep himself busy. I have listened to Chuck since he went to work at Vidalia Communications and he will be dearly missed. Last month Chuck came by Hub Communications to say Hi and I kidded him that I listened to him everyday at work with the most expensive radio money could find ( a $25,000.00 Motorola Communications Analyzer) , he just smiled and said his favorite words (YOU GOT IT). My thoughts and prayers go out to his girls and family. Your DAD will be greatly missed.

Family of Chuck Morris...... I worked at the radio station from 1996 to 2001, cleaning the station, which included cleaning the sound rooms. That is when I first met Chuck and became to know him. His daughters came w/ him to the station sometimes on the weekends and one of his daughters and my daughter would play together while he worked and I cleaned. Chuck will always be remembered as an awesome person, great personality, very sweet disposition and a friend to anyone he met. My condolences go to each of you along w/ my prayers. Chuck will be missed by many, but memories of him will always be kept alive. God Bless each of you!!! Tina J. Cross

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Chuck. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
