Douglas Orla Morton's Obituary
Douglas Orla Morton
Born December 8, 1949 in McPherson, Kansas and passed away April 19, 2020 in Richardson, Texas. Remembered by his wife Betty, his two sons Brandon and Bryan, and his black Labrador Belle. Doug was most known for the love he had for his family and his great sense of humor. He was passionate about all sports, and was a huge fan of the Texas Rangers, Dallas Mavericks, and Dallas Cowboys. He grew up in Wichita, Kansas and played baseball at Friends University and had a huge impact as a semi-professional pitcher in The Netherlands, where he also met Betty, the love of his life. They were married for 43 years, lived in various cities in the US, and finally settled down in Richardson, Texas. Doug worked in sales after his baseball career, and spent his free time gardening and doing home improvement projects. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the SPCA of Texas. Doug will be dearly missed by his loving family.
