Obituary of David Morton

David M. Morton left this world on Sunday October 20, 2024 at the age of 68. I need to stop here and point out all the even numbers, per David's request!!                                                                                         

David put up a very brave and 'spirited' battle against the dehumanizing illness known as ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease.                                               

David was born in a house down in Spruceworld on August 19,1956 to his parents Milan Brewer Morton Sr. and Annetta Belle Morton. He joined 6 siblings, in no particular order, Bart, Butch, Isabelle, Helen, Ruth and Nancy Morton.                                                                             

David started lobstering at the age of 12 and he never lost the love for that life, returning to the job he loved many times thru out his life.He also kept Linekin Bay Resort up and running for decades. His very last job that he was forced to give up was driving the school bus for Edgecomb Eddy School, which he enjoyed much more than he ever let on!                                                                                                         

David was quite the motorhead in his younger years and has kicked himself in the butt many times for not hanging on to all those muscle cars!!                                                                                                         

David has 3 of the best kids in the world, Danny, Kristie, and Zack Morton, which, in turn, has led to 6 of the best grandkids in the world---Nick, Lexi, Luke, Arlo, Zoe, and Vince. They made his life complete.     

David and his wife, Kerina, have been together nearly 40 years, and to be honest, wanted a few more decades together, but it wasn't meant to be.  David always said---Kerina was the best thing that ever happened to him (and I gotta agree!!).                                                       

This disease, at least, afforded him some time to reconnect with childhood family and friends. Being able to do that meant the world to him.  This also made it possible for David and I to get closer, even though we didn't think that was possible!                                                 

David kept his sense of humor right up to the bitter end, making us all laugh just minutes before his last breath.                                             

David, and all you ever were, will be sorely missed. The house will just be too damn quiet!!                                                                             

We love you with our whole hearts.  Till we meet again hun............
