Keith Conrad Morley passed away Monday, May 30, 2022, peacefully at his home in Delta Junction, with Tammy by his side. Keith was born on July 18th, 1958, in Plainfield, New Jersey, to Constance and Robert Morley the oldest of eight children. His family moved to Georgia when Keith was just a toddler and spent his younger years there. When Keith was 14 his family moved to Kenny Lake, Alaska where Keith grew up. He is preceded in death by his father Robert (Bob) Sherman Morley, his brother Glenn Morley, and his ex-wife Barbara Denise Morley.
Keith learned the value of hard work on the farm in Kenny Lake and often said that formed his work ethic for the rest of his life. As he got older, he held many jobs working for local farmers and businesses, the Delta Co-Op, and worked on the Trans Alaska pipeline during its construction. As a young man he followed his sister Sarah to Texas in 1980 to pursue his career as a truck driver hauling materials to the oil fields. He bought his first truck and left Texas in 1986 to move to California to continue his career as an owner operator. It was there he met and married his wife Barbara Denise Freels. They were blessed with 3 beautiful children. He worked for Bulk Transport hauling chemicals for several years until he bought another truck and enjoyed hauling luxury cars for a few years.
Keith and Barbara later divorced and Keith returned to Alaska, the place he called home. Keith worked for his brother at Morley Electric until he began working for Carlile Transportation Systems in the fall of 2010. Keith was always a very dedicated, dependable and outstanding employee. He found his passion when he moved into the Heavy Haul division for Carlile. Keith was proud that he was Carlile’s Senior Heavy Haul driver and was often given the largest and most difficult loads to haul, which he did with ease. Keith was very passionate about his work and always gave 110%. Even the younger guys would say how Keith could out work them, and Keith was proud of that. Keith was an excellent mechanic and enjoyed working on equipment and trucks. He was well known on the Haul Road for being the friend who would always stop and help anyone in need and who put others before himself.
Keith was one of the most loving men you’d ever meet. Keith is survived by his spouse Tammy Misrasi, and his children – Robert Branden (Tiffany) Morley, Brittani (Chauncy) Sharp and Breanne Morley. His mother Constance (Connie) Morley, and his siblings – Sarah and Lars Langerud, Mary Gilbert and George Wang, Jr., Julie and Randall Ivy, Christopher and Shannon Morley, Deborah and Mike Armstrong, and Matthew Morley.
Keith has 7 grandchildren and many nieces and nephews that he adored and loved so much.
Keith was a Christian, with a firm conviction and love for the Lord. He was loving, kind, generous, caring and a friend to all who knew him. He would help anyone in need. His passing leaves a void in our lives but his memory will live in our hearts forever. His wings were ready even though our hearts were not.
A memorial will be held at the First Baptist Church in Delta Junction on Thursday, June 30th at 6:30 p.m.
Keith had a quirky sense of humor and he would say in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the NRA. However, the family would be happy if it was to the charity of your choice in Keith’s name.
