Jeff A. Morrin

I never knew Jeff personally, and I probably never would have. The way people explain him to me is a gentle, kind man who would carry his family with strength, determination, passion, and love. That's why I'm not here to talk about his death, I'm here to talk about his life, the one to carry on his legacy, his beautiful daughter, Sophie. She is so courageous and powerful, and so worthy of everything, every diamond and pearl, every jewel and gem, every star and galaxy, and so much more. Her father's legacy casts on to her. Her electricity and fire proves that she's a beautiful soul with so much ahead of her. I could never replace her, I could never exchange her, I could never hurt her. She truly is my rock, just like how Jeff was to her and so many others. The way Sophie views the world is truly unique, and everyday I look forward to calling her, texting her, and having her presence illuminate my day into something much more meaningful. Everyday I smile knowing I have her, she's the light at the end of the tunnel that I look towards while I'm going through it, and I'm eternally grateful. Her eloquence and elegance are something I one day hope to achieve. Sophie and Jeff share so much more than a last name or some DNA, they share the inner glow that could brighten a room in a matter of nanoseconds. I find it comical the irony of it all, Jeff and Sophie were soul tied by blood, however I found my way to this lustrous diamond of a human by a simple message from tiktok, on the exact anniversary of Jeff's passing in 2023 subsequently creating a soul tie of our our own, not by physical blood, but the everlasting bond of friendship. Ever since then I have let my woes heal, I owe this girl my life and I will never be able to repay her that. Sophie and Jeff live on forever, in our bodies, souls, and hearts. Jeff would be so proud of how far you have come darling, and he's smiling down at us right now, I love you, armadillo.

From one Sophie to another, Happy 15th birthday

Love, your ride or die always, Sophia

Jeff was a man of business that's for sure. I worked for him for 5 years. After Moe died he treated his guys like dirt. The same guys that built the company up. Then canned them because they costed him more money guy of 20 years was let go with nothing. Sure Jeff was a great guy who forgot where he came from treated employees like carp in clouding his own brothers which were never mentioned in his obituary.

Dear Morrin Family and Friends,
I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one, and offer you my sincere condolences. Many have found comfort and hope in knowing that the Bible assures us: “Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18) God’s holy spirit, or active force, can equip you with “power beyond what is normal” to go from one day to the next.(2 Corinthians 4:7) It is my sincere hope that this gives you a measure of solace in this most difficult time. My family wishes you and yours peace.

Feel no guilt in laughter, he'd know how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile that he is not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever; he would not want you to.
He'd hope that you could carry on the way you always do.
So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared,
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you, a word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day,
That brings him back as clearly as though he were still here,
And fills you with the feeling that he is always near.
For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart
And he will live forever locked safely within your heart.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your babies at this most difficult time. Love Danee & Sierra

Our first memories of Jeff came from his visits to Shamrocks where without him, many slow nights would have been dull, but his pool skills and kind conversation were able to help fill the time. I remember meeting your "beautiful bride" and the night you captured each other's attention. Your happiness together is evident, your family being one to admire, and the memories a legacy to cherish. Jeff helped many people through fitness encouragement, monetary support, and his time. I, and my husband Brian, will never forget him. May love and hugs surround you, family and friends of the great Jeff Morrin.

Jeff, I'll never forget our first conversation, when I inquired about starting a new Dance Studio with my daughter, while you were building the plaza on Illinois Ave. in Maumee in 2005. You went out of your way to support all of our ideas, as an upstart business, throughout the construction and build out!! You and your staff were wonderful to work with, while we were tenants there! I was "a Mom who wanted to make her Daughter's 'Dance Dream' come true" and together WE DID!! Thank you Jeff, from the bottom of our hearts!! ?

Dear Alissa and Family,

We are so sorry for your loss. We know there is nothing that can be said to ease the pain you are feeling. One word that always comes to mind when we think of Jeff is Gentleman. Gentleman in its true sense, in everything he did and said, and, a very Gentle Man, as in the way he treated others. Our world needs more men like Jeff. He is a special person with a rare quality. Jeff will be missed by many. Our love and prayers are with you. Jeff and Shelly Putz and Family

To the Family of Jeff
No words can adequately describe the sorrow we feel for your loss.
Jeff was truly a gentlemen and a friend.
It was a pleasure and honor to have known Jeff.
We are so sorry we cannot be there to express our sympathy in person.
Robie and Donna
