Milton met Kimberly in 1982 through his cousin Collette “Mitzie” Ramsay who was also attending the same high school.  They became best friends and lifelong partners, then husband and wife on January 5, 2004.  Milton and Kim blessed the earth with three beautiful daughters, Munirah Morris (age 23), Kimarah Morris (age 20) and Ayanna Morris (age 18).  The love he had for his girls transcended beyond words.

Milton was a keen businessman and through several entrepreneurial business ventures he was not only able to provide a great life for his family but was also able to be a help to MANY…. family, friends, neighbors, etc.  Milton was a giver, and everyone knew that they could call on him in times of need.  He had a big heart that extended beyond boundaries.  He was a true. reliable, and sustainable friend to all that knew him Most importantly, He was a family man!
