Morris "The Moose" Mewbourn

Morris was a wise, proud, kind and gentle man. He loved the Lord and his family, beyond anything. Morris attended and graduated from Adamson High school (1953 Adamson High School Dallas, TX). Even though he was shy, his nickname “Mighty Moose” fit his appearance, while “The King” represented his sarcastic and humorous personality. ‘Moose’ was an avid golfer; he even got a hole-in-one. As long as it was a competitive sport, board game or crossword, he was well driven to win. ‘Moose’ married the love of his life, Betty, on January 31, 1976. He appeared in the film, “My Dog Buddy” in 1960, and loved to tease his children about their father being a movie star. ‘Moose’ was open to talk about anything; he enjoyed his evening meal surrounded by his loved ones and having wholesome conversations at the dinner table. By far, his greatest accomplishment was the love he had for his family, especially his grandbabies.

‘Moose’ is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Betty Mewbourn; sons Eddie Clark and Steven Hall; daughters Debbie Hasting, Deidere Clark and Lanie Seigler; special daughter-in-law Sandra Clark Duke; brothers Charles Guiterrez, Gary (Tiana) Gutierrez and Edgar (Miranda) Jimenez; sisters Veronica (Jerry) Pate and Teresa Jimenez; 10 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren and numerous loving family members and friends.

‘Moose’ is proceded in death by his mother and stepfather Merlee and Emilio Gutierrez; father and stepmother Eelam Robert and Gertrude Mewbourn; brother Jim Gutierrez; son Louie Clark; and daughter Laurie Moore.
