‘We continue to be so cruel to each other’: Family, friends remember Felix Morley

The family of 60-year-old Felix Morley is struggling to come to terms with his sudden and violent death, following an incident on East Bay Street late Saturday night.

“We ga miss you…You were a good friend to us,” Devonyah Rolle wrote. “Like you always said, it’s about trust and friendship.”

News of Morley’s killing spread quickly, sending shockwaves on social media among those who knew him—on social media, friends and relatives flooded timelines with simple tributes, many writing “RIP,” while others shared brief memories.

Former Speaker of the House Halson Moultrie reflected on knowing Morley from earlier years, describing him as “highly spirited” and “a wonderful soul.”

According to police, Morley was beaten about the upper body and died at the scene. A suspect has since been arrested, but for those grieving, the arrest does little to ease the pain.

“We continue to be so cruel to each other,” Tony Smith wrote, expressing a sentiment shared by many who see Morley’s death as part of a wider pattern of violence affecting the country.

For some, the loss feels especially raw because their final moments with Morley were recent.

Eclipses Stubbs said he had seen him just days before his death and recalled a quiet, ordinary moment that now carries only memories.

“I was able to sit and have a cold soda with him,” Stubbs shared.

“Rest easy, Uncle Felix. We love and miss you,” the tributes continued.
