Bob Morris was born April 12, 1950 in Monterey, California to James Franklin Morris and Marilyn Drost Morris. He served in the United States Marine Corps with the 1st Recon Division while in Viet Nam from July 1969 - September 1972, obtaining the rank of Sergeant. He was awarded the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star with Valor, two Navy Commendation Medals with Valor, the Republic of Viet Nam Campaign Medal, the Viet Nam Service Medal, and a Combat Action Ribbon.

Bob, known to many as "Cayenne 6", along with his wife Julie were devoted to the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion Association and his Recon teammates. He served as the Membership Coordinator and Web Master from the earliest days of the Association and always gave freely of his time and talent. Bob worked tirelessly to reunite 1st Recon teammates and bring them together in the Association. Cayenne 6 leaves a void that will never be filled. We are blessed to have known Bob and stood with him, side by side, in war and peace.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, James and Marilyn Morris, and a brother, Darrell Morris.

He is survived by his wife, Julie A. Mooney; son, Matthew K. Morris and wife Brittany; daughter, Misti Duggins and husband Johnny; brother, James Morris; sisters Cheryl Danner and husband Kent, Katherine Litwin and husband Joseph, and Patricia McMillan and husband Colin; and four grandchildren.
