Kelly B. Morris, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 64th Armor Regiment of the Fort Stewart-based 3rd Infantry Division was killed on March 30th, 2005 in Baghdad in support of Iraqi Freedom.

Kelly was born in Boise, and raised from the age of 7 by Bill and Lisa Lowery. He attended Boise High School and graduated from Mountain Cove High in 2000 and joined the Army in 2001. Kelly is remembered by his family and friends as fearless- the kind of guy who liked to hunt alligators and went fishing with a rifle. He was known for being adventurous and a loyal friend. “There was something definitely special about him,” said Lisa Lowery. “ When you met Kelly you knew you were meeting somebody who was going to affect your life in a positive way. He would have liked everybody to celebrate his life and not mourn his death, and would want us to be strong. Kelly will always have a special place in our hearts.”
