Evansville – David Jason Morrow “George” “Dave”, 48 of Evansville, passed away on Wednesday, March 24, 2021 at St. Vincent Evansville. He was born June 23, 1972 in Evansville to the late Jamie Morrow and Agnes “Aggie” Combs (Schmitt).
David was a caring son to Aggie and he would do anything for his “Momma”. David was a loving father to two biological boys, Kyle (Carlie) and Lucas Morrow. He was like a father to many more, including his “Peepots” Kendrick and Kaden. He had so much love to give and he shared it with so many. He was a “not fiancé” to Toni Smith. They shared many years together and loved each other so much. He was a loyal brother to Shannon “Nana” and so many others who called him brother. He was a caring uncle to Nicholas “Nick” (Chole) and Kaitlyn “KiKi”. He was a cherished papaw to Makaylah, Josh, and Sofia.
When David wasn’t hanging drywall, he loved spending time with his family (including his family of friends). He had a passion for his “toys”, including go carts, four wheelers, motorcycles, motorbikes, and anything that would go fast and make dirt fly as he sped doing donuts. He enjoyed watching dirt racing and would make $1 bets with the grandkids. He enjoyed making jokes and laughing.
He will always be remembered for the love he had for his family. He was the dad that would encourage his boys to show emotion and love hard. He was the papaw that would give the grandkids candy behind mom’s back and tell them not to tell. He also taught his kids and grandkids to fight for what is right, and to not go down easy. Above all, he taught them what was most important, and that is FAMILY. Family and love are the things that kept him going. He would do ANYTHING for his family and the people that he called family.
David was not a traditional kind of guy, so in lieu of the traditional funeral services, we are going to have a Celebration of life on Saturday April 3, 2021 at the East Shelter (outdoor) at Wesselman’s Park (602-560 N Boeke Rd, Evansville, IN 47711). It will start at 1pm. David loved so many people, so let’s show him how truly loved he really is and celebrate his life.

This is such a beautiful tribute to David. I’ve known the family for 30 years and they are all beautiful souls; one of the few families I know that truly stands by the meaning of family. My heart aches for all of you. David was a character that’s for sure; always making jokes. I’m going to miss you, butthead! I wish I could take away the families pain. I’m here if anyone needs anything. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. Much love and hard prayers for this awesome family.

Would give you the shirt right off his back. Would eat a hotdog and give you a steak. Never made me feel out of place. And before he passed he told me to stop doubting myself and just do it. Always positive laughing causing trouble………just an overall joy to be around. He will TRULY BE MISSED
Bear says
I Don’t even know where to begin. David was my first love and my first heartache. He was stubborn, hard headed but very strong willed and made sure everyone knew it. He shared the best part of himself with me and that is our son. We both had moved on in our lives but grew to be good friends. Oh David who would have known you would have had another chance to break my heart again! I’m mad and sad that you left your boys and family but know you had no choice. I hope you know everyone loved you so much and your memory will forever live on.
