Alan Morrison

Alan was born in Pasadena, TX on December 1st, 1956, to Donald and Gloria Geneva Morrison. Alan graduated from Sam Rayburn High School in 1975 and went on to attend Sam Houston State University where he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Education in 1979. He and his wife, Carol, were married on December 22nd 1979, in Pasadena, TX, where they both taught school before moving to Fort Worth, TX, in 1980 where Alan completed his Master’s in Church Music. Their first child, Jonathan, was born, and Alan graduated from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1983, before moving to El Dorado, AR. He took the minister of music position at Second Baptist Church, and they also welcomed their second child, Thomas, before moving back to Pasadena in 1985 to take the same role at First Baptist Church. In Pasadena, they welcomed their third son, Andrew, and eventually moved to Van Buren, AR, to take the same role at First Baptist Church. The family spent the following 12 years in Van Buren, which is often remembered as a very sweet and special time for Alan’s ministry and family. Hannah, their fourth child, was born here, and it was at this point friends and family strongly encouraged Alan and Carol to stop moving. However, the family moved to Spring, TX, in 2002 to be closer to family and to re-enter the education field. Alan taught two years at Oak Creek Elementary before moving to Meyer Elementary in 2004 as Assistant Principal. He also completed his Master’s in Education Administration at Sam Houston State University in 2004. Mostly importantly, though, his love of music, ministry, and people led him back to the ministry as he filled an interim music minister position at Spring Baptist Church in 2003 until the family moved to Champion Forest Baptist Church in 2005. Alan served as a member of the praise team until taking a part-time position at North Woods Baptist Church in 2008. It is here he faithfully served, led, and made many loving friendships over the past 10 years. Alan was preceded in death by his parents, Donald and Gloria Geneva Morrison. His legacy includes his wife Carol of Spring. His three sons, Jonathan, wife Elizabeth, their sons Jack and Matthew of Houston; Thomas, wife Ashley, their sons Donald and Henry of Fort Smith, AR; Andrew, wife Carrie of Spring, TX, and his daughter Hannah of Dallas.
