Chuck Morse

Charles “Chuck” Morse, 72, passed away on November 30, 2025, just one week after celebrating his birthday. Chuck was a loving, funny, and warm-hearted man who found joy in the simple things—especially fishing, hunting, and sharing laughter with the people he cared about.

Chuck spent most of his life working at the Lansing Recreation Center bowling alley, a place where he made countless friendships and memories over the years. He was previously married to Arlene Holmes and to Debi Miller, the mother of his children.

He is survived by his daughters, Kimberly (Eric) Leland and Michelle (Manuel) Garza; his grandchildren Patiance Degg, Bethany King, Jeremy King, Taylor Leland, Manuel Garza V, Kalynn Garza, Mayhem Garza, Mercedes Garza, and Shanel Cabrara; and his great-grandchildren Azalea Sairls, Mari’Ella Benso, Zaylee Shakoor, Jaylin Bowers, and Daniel Smith. He also leaves behind his siblings Kathy Plusczyzynski and Mickey Morse, as well as his fiancée, Donna Granthom.

Chuck was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Morse and June Booth; his siblings, George Faulkner and Murzanna Dove; and his granddaughter, Dahlia Sairls.

A visitation to celebrate Chuck’s life will be held on Monday, December 8, 2025, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., at Gorsline Runciman Funeral Home, 900 E. Michigan Ave., Lansing, MI 48912.

Chuck will be deeply missed by all who loved him, and his memory will forever live on in the stories, laughter, and love he leaves behind.
