Gregory "Lance" Morris

Mr. Gregory “Lance” Morris, 63, of Winston-Salem, NC, passed away on November 3, 2026, at Willow Valley Center for Rehabilitation. He was born on April 10, 1963, in Forsyth County to the late Mr. Grady Lawrence Morris and Mrs. Jo Crabtree Morris.

Lance was a well-established criminal defense attorney in Greenville, South Carolina. He earned his bachelor's degree from Western Carolina University before continuing his education at Memphis University School of Law. During his time at Western Carolina, he served as President of the Theta Xi fraternity.

Outside of his professional career, Lance had a love for the outdoors, particularly hunting. For many years, he also served as a guide for “The Big 5” in Africa. He enjoyed reading and, most of all, spending time with his family.

Left to cherish his memory are his mother, Jo Crabtree Morris; three siblings, Kym M. Lain (Dorian), Kelly Rhodes, and Gavin Morris (Sheri); eight nieces and nephews, Christopher, Kimberly, Ryan, Kaleigh (Sully), Jadon, Shelby (Kenan), Madison, and Bailey; and six great-nieces and great-nephews, Palmer, Danny, Cooper, Sara Jo, Kymberlynn, and Eden.

A graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at Parklawn Memorial Park, with Minister Matt Huddleson officiating. The family will receive friends and enjoy a time of fellowship following the service at South Fork Church of Christ in Winston-Salem.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Carolina Bible Camp at www.carolinabiblecamp.org/give.

Hayworth-Miller Silas Creek Chapel is serving the family.
