Cover for Paul Ray Morrow's Obituary

Paul Ray Morrow

Sep 1, 1950 — Oct 21, 2026

Paul Morrow, 76, of Acworth, Georgia, passed away leaving behind a lifetime of treasured memories and a family who loved him dearly.

Paul was born in Copperhill, Tennessee, to Mary and Armos Morrow, who preceded him in death.

A hardworking man with a lifelong love of automobiles, Paul owned and operated P&D Tire, an automotive repair shop in Atlanta, Georgia, for 37 years. His passion for cars went far beyond his work. He especially loved old cars and enjoyed collecting treasures, always appreciating the history and stories behind the things he found.

Paul also enjoyed hunting, but some of his greatest happiness came from simply spending time with his family. He cherished the moments they shared and the memories they created together.

Paul is survived by his loving wife, Diane Morrow; his sons, Chris and Denny Morrow; his daughter-in-law, Blesila; his granddaughter Kristin and grandson-in-law Daniel; his grandsons, Billy, Brenner, and Ben; and his great-granddaughters, Audrey, Susan, and Donna.

He is also survived by his sisters, Judy, and her husband, Ronnie Tipton; and Joanne, and her husband, Pete Murphy.

Paul will be remembered for his devotion to his family, his strong work ethic, his love of old cars and hunting, and his talent for finding treasures wherever he went. Through 37 years at P&D Tire, he built more than a business. He built a life filled with hard work, relationships, stories, and countless memories.

Above all else, Paul's greatest legacy is the family he leaves behind. His memory will live on in the stories they tell, the traditions they carry forward, and the love they will always share.

Paul will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved him.
