He was the second of six children born to the marital union of Booker and Amelia Johnson. He grew up on a farm and worked hard doing family chores and farm work during his early years. He graduated from Carver High School (formerly Haywood County Training School). After graduating from high school, in an effort to secure a better economic life he moved to Flint, Michigan and began working at General Motors. After working there for 47 years he retired from the Grand Blanc plant. Growing up in a Christian home Morris was baptized into Christ at an early age at the Beech Grove Church of Christ in Brownsville, Tennessee. In recent years he has been active in attendance at the North Central Church of Christ in Flint. Morris was married to Hazel Gray-Johnson (deceased), and to that union two children were born: Cheryl and Belinda. He was later married to Floridia Mae "Jackie" McAfee-Johnson (deceased). No children were born to that union. He married Armanda Teamer-Johnson in 2010 and they remained married until his death. Morris was a jokester and could keep you laughing for hours with his stories about growing up and real life situations. He loved dogs and was an avid hunter. He was affectionately known as "Coon Man" by some of his closest friends. He also loved gardening and could be seen delivering greens, corn and other vegetables to those he knew. His hobbies included CB radio, where he carried the handle of "Yo Yo (unit 206)".
