Morris Everidge Maytubby

Our beloved Clan Chief, Morris Everidge Maytubby (81) was reunited with Jesus on June 5th. 2014. Born in Hugo, Oklahoma, his family moved to Lamont, California during the Dust Bowl. He graduated from Kern Union High School and served in the U.S. Army. He taught Eighth Grade, Wood Shop and coached two years at Fairfax School before entering the banking industry.

He married the love of his life, Joann, and provided well for his family in Bakersfield. Morris` passion for sports was passed down to his children and grandchildren. Morris was an excellent athlete who enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren carry on the Maytubby athletic tradition. You could find him in the stands at every baseball, football, softball,volleyball, and swim meet his children and grandchildren played. He enjoyed a round of golf with family and friends. Along with his brothers and dad, they started the Maytubby Family Golf Tournament where each family member, regardless of age, participated. In retirement, he was never idle. If he wasn't golfing, he would be attending his grandchildren's school events, tinkering in the garage, building. He loved having all his family around him and rejoiced in everyone's accomplishments.

His quiet sense of humor kept many on their toes, always quick to remind visitors, "I'm glad you got to see me!" Morris was incredibly proud of his Chickasaw heritage, documenting the family lineage from the time of the Trail of Tears. As the family historian and Clan Chief, he gave each new family member a Chickasaw name. You could be sure to hear the Gaither's music playing or catch him reading his Bible. He loved the Lord with his whole heart and looked forward to his home-going with joy.

His parents Morris and Elsie Maytubby, his brothers Bill and John, preceded Morris in death. Morris is survived by his wife of 62 years, Joann; daughter Jonell Griffith (Steve); sons Ben Maytubby (Molla) and Scott Maytubby (Misty); Grandchildren Nichol Wilson (Jason), Joseph Maytubby, Jenee` Charles (Ricky), Stefani Curry (Ryan), Traci Lewis (Josh), Chad Maytubby, and Dakota and Christopher Duarte; Great Grandchildren Khyla, Kiersten, Zeke and Eli Charles, Mason, Aubri, and Jackson Curry and a Curry and a Wilson on the way; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
