April 13, 2004

A memorial service will be 10 AM Friday, April 16, 2004 at First Baptist Church, Waxahachie, for Dennis K. Morton, who died suddenly at home in Forreston, Texas on April 13, 2004. Born October 10, 1939 in Dallas, TX., Dennis was a loving devoted husband and father. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Joan West Morton; his adoring daughter, Anne-Marie Morton Scott; son-in-law, Anthony Keith Scott; grandson, Casey James Scott; mother, Reva Johnson Butler; one sister, Laura Butler Bailey; as well as his mother-in-law, Norene West; and a host of nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, T. D. Butler; sisters, Rita Butler York, Sherry Butler, Fern Butler Lackey; and brother, Dwight Butler.

Dennis was a graduate of Adamson High School, Arlington State College (now The University of Texas at Arlington), and Southern Methodist University. He was a retired bank insurance professional and holder of professional designations, CPCU, CLCU, CHFc, and ARM. At the time of his death he was serving as Secretary of the Nash-Forreston Water Board.

Dennis loved the outdoors and enjoyed working on his farm, going with Joan to their vacation home in New Mexico, and going for drives with family and friends through the Hill Country. He was generous with his time, his many talents, and with compliments but was always extremely humble and expected nothing in return.

The family will receive friends and relatives 6-8 PM Thursday at the Wayne Boze Funeral Home. Dr. Leroy Fenton will conduct the Memorial service. Committal Service will be 2 PM Friday at the Grove Hill Cemetery, Dallas. Pallbearers will be members of Dr. Robert Cox's Bible Class at First Baptist Church, Waxahachie, and honorary pallbearers will be nieces and nephews.

Memorials may be made to First Baptist Church, 315 N. Rogers, Waxahachie, TX. 75165 OR Families of Early Autism Treatment North Texas, P. O. Box 210324, Bedford, TX. 76095.
