Mr. Mason Pedro Morrison, 61, of Hazlehurst, passed away Dec. 4 at Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah.
Born June 25, 1964, in McRae to the late John B. Morrison and Barbara Jean Livingston Morrison, Pedro lived his entire life in Jeff Davis County. He worked faithfully as a master pressman for more than 20 years, printing the Tri-County Shopper, a role in which he took great pride. He was also a devoted member of Philadelphia Baptist Church. Pedro was known for his intelligence and gentle heart. He loved to read, enjoyed farming and was an avid chess player — earning 2 state championship titles his Junior and Senior years of high school. He also cherished watching Jeopardy! with his wife, Wanda, a daily routine that brought them joy.
Though he had no children of his own, Pedro was a father figure to many, offering guidance, support and steady wisdom to anyone who needed it.
