Morris Nathan Tauben

Morris lived the last 25 years as a resident of Community Homes for Adults, Inc. (CHAI). He led a purposeful and productive life there. His disability did not limit him, and he lived his best life under their compassionate care and supervision.

Morris never met a stranger. He loved socializing, especially with his family and his CHAI “family”. He believed, and would tell anyone who would listen, that he was the Dallas Cowboys’ number one fan. His greatest pleasure was getting to go to the Cowboys’ home games. He was easily the most optimistic fan, always saying the Cowboys were going to win the Super Bowl.

Morris could quote and sing any, and all Motown songs, and had a knack for remembering the artists and the lyrics. Not only did he like singing, but he loved dancing to the music, as well.

His other interests included spending time at the JCC, working out and participating in the Habima Theatre, along with his CHAI friends. When he was younger, he loved taking part in Special Olympics basketball and baseball.

Morris’ favorite job was working at the Cowboys Sports Café in Valley Ranch. He was thrilled to meet and interact with many of the Dallas Cowboys’ players and fans.

Morris found true love when “his woman” (as he affectionately called her), Jane moved into Todd house as a fellow resident. She greatly enriched and enhanced his life. They brought each other such joy and were looking forward to spending even more time together since her recent retirement.

Survived by his brother, Sheldon Tauben, sisters and brothers-in-law, Sandy and Mark Kaman, and Jan and Bob Woerner, and nieces and nephews, Daniel, Josh, Adam, Haley, Laurel, Trenton, and their families, and extended family members.

Funeral services will be held Tuesday, March 26, 2024 at 2:00 p.m., graveside at Sparkman Hillcrest, 7405 W. Northwest Highway, Dallas, TX.

The family would especially like to thank the direct care staff and professionals at CHAI for providing the help Morris needed to live his life to the fullest.
