Graveside service for Mr. Joe Warren Morrow, age 74 of Pea Ridge, LA will be held at 2:00 PM, Tuesday, November 18, 2025 at Tubbs Cemetery in Hico, LA with Rev. Charles Coleman officiating.
Joe was born on November 7, 1951, in Ruston, Louisiana to James Warren Morrow and Gloria Jean Cooper Morrow and passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 16, 2025 at his home surrounded by family. Joe is leaving behind a legacy of hard work, laughter, and unwavering devotion to his family and faith.
Joe was a man of the earth, an avid outdoorsman whose spirit felt most at home under the open sky. A skilled and passionate deer hunter, he found solace and adventure in the woods, a love he shared with many.
His life centered on his family. He was a loving husband to his wife of 12 years, Judy Bennett Morrow, a cherished father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. His giving nature extended beyond his immediate family. Joe was a successful field supervisor at Davison Transport. He was known as “Skid Row Joe” and “Front Row Joe” by his many friends and co-workers. He was always the first to offer a helping hand, a piece of advice, or a well-timed, often humorous, story that would put a smile on anyone’s face. His infectious humor and ability to lighten even the darkest moments will be profoundly missed.
Above all, Joe was a devout man who loved God with all his heart. He was a member of Mineral Springs Baptist Church in Dubach, Louisiana. His faith was the cornerstone of his life, guiding his actions and providing strength and comfort to those around him. He embodied the Christian virtues of kindness, generosity, and love.
He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Gloria Jean Morrow, and his daughter, Susie Morrow. He is survived by his beloved wife, Judy Bennett Morrow; two sisters, Alice Morrow Byrnside and husband Tommy, Linda Morrow Brazzel and husband Joe Lee; granddaughter, Larah Santoro; grandson, Tristan Santoro; his loving aunts, Nell Barmore and Bobbie Hanna; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends who were all blessed to know him. Joe will also be missed by his two sweet cats, Tussie and Lucy.
Serving as pallbearers will be Tom Byrnside, Tommy Byrnside, Matt Byrnside, John Morgan Byrnside, Skeeter Colvin, and Kenneth Morrow.
The family would like to offer a special thank you to Premiere Hospice and Kim Roberson for their exceptional service. A special thanks to Tom Byrnside and family, April and Josh Blades, and Kenneth Morrow.
Visitation will be 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM, Tuesday, at Owens Memorial Chapel Funeral Home of Ruston, LA.
