Wilbur Paul Morris, Jr. ("Paul"), 69, of Baltimore, MD, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on April 11, 2024, after enduring his diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis with the utmost patience, strength, and courage. Paul loved his job as a railroad engineer and owned several rental properties in the Baltimore area. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and uncle. He worked tirelessly to provide for his family, while remaining fully present for those he loved. Throughout the years Paul helped many people with all his heart and expecting nothing in return. After his diagnosis, Paul became an example of endurance, as he faced his circumstances with grace and patience. Any time one would ask how he was doing, he would reply, "like a million bucks."

Paul is survived by wife Maria; children Robert (Maria), Christopher (Annette), and Alexander; grandchildren Andrew, Paul, and Antonia; mother Elizabeth; sisters Eileen, Virginia, Betty, Susan, Patricia, and Jean Marie; and many nieces and nephews.
