William Lee Morley

William "Bill" Lee Morley, age 84 of Clatskanie, Oregon passed away on December 5, 2021. Bill was born on May 1, 1937 in Atlantic, Iowa. He was the only child of Minnie Mae Morley and (Robert William Morley.

at age 3, Bill's family moved to Oregon. He graduated from Lincoln High School in Portland. His dad died in 1963 and his mom in 1995. Bill was still trying to adjust to being alone. Bill spent a lot of years working as an automobile mechanic at a gas station in Northwest Portland.

Bill met Deborah and her family in 1998, when they were both drivers for a parts delivery place in Portland. Which led to a life long friendship and Deborah considered Bill like a second father and a grandfather to her kids. In 2002, Deb met Dave, and Bill instantly had a new best friend! They got along very well and Dave understood him and understood his challenges. They all looked after each other.

In 2001, Dave and Deb bought a home and a piece of property and put it together in Gresham. They lived there for a total of five years before they decided to buy a different house a few blocks away that was in a better neighborhood. Two weeks after they moved in Bill was laid off from his very last job outside of the home. And in 2011, he became a full-time provider for Deb's and Dave's son Trent. In 2016, they got really annoyed with Portland and decided to move to their current home, where Bill has remained a paid provider for Trent up to just a couple hours before passing away.

Although Bill was not blood related he was still our family. He touched our lives and he will be deeply missed.
