WEST JORDAN, UTAH - On the evening of May 26, 2015, Timothy Scott Morley Sr., passed away peacefully in his home at the age of 58 surrounded by his family after a 13-year battle with brain cancer.
Tim was born Feb. 26, 1957, in Burley, Idaho, to Sylvan Howard Morley and Melba Tanner Morley, the fourth of six children. As a child he attended the old Southwest Elementary and Burley Jr. High Schools. He worked alongside his siblings and parents in maintaining and building up the family farm. Tim learned to love hard work. His joy came from irrigating hay fields, digging wells, building fences, and tending to his mother's Arabian horses. Tim was at home outdoors, enjoying long trail rides, swimming, target shooting, and hunting with his brothers. Later on, he attended Burley High School where he and his best friend/brother, Tony Morley, participated in several athletic programs. Tim excelled in basketball, football, track, and wrestling. He loved basketball and football and played on little league teams even before playing varsity sports in high school. Also, due to his love for water, he spent his summers life-guarding at the Burley Swimming Pool.
While working hard on academics and extracurricular activities, he met his future wife and loving sweetheart, Camellia Hymas. While only dating a couple of times in high school, neither knew they would end up joining together for time and eternity in a few short years to come.
Tim was very strong in his faith, receiving the nickname "straight arrow" by his friends and all who knew him well. He lead by example when he decided to serve an LDS mission. He spent two years in Buenos Aires, Argentina, loving, learning, and teaching the gospel.
Camellia Hymas, whom he briefly courted in high school, returned home from an LDS mission to Boston, Mass., just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday of 1979. Tim was confident regarding his love for Camellia and proposed to her in January of 1980. They were married on a beautiful day four months later, the 2nd of May, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Camellia was the light of his life down to the minute of his passing. Tim truly followed the command to "become one" with the love of his life.
Tim followed in his father's footsteps with his decision to attend pharmacy school. He received his pharmaceutical degree in the fall of 1982 from the University of Utah. He then returned with his family to Burley, where he began his career at Rupert Rexall Drug in Rupert, Idaho. Eventually, he was privileged to take over Sib's Pharmacy and expanded the business. His efforts were recognized by Payless Pharmacy when an offer to purchase Sib's Pharmacy, and continue as pharmacy manager, was presented to him. He remained true to his conviction to not work on the Sabbath by transferring to a Payless Pharmacy in Salt Lake City.
Tim and Camellia moved their family to West Jordan, Utah, in the summer of 1995 where they lived with their five wonderful children. He later took a position with the State of Utah as the Utah Medicaid Pharmacy Director, until he was no longer able to continue working. He came home and was continually surrounded by friends and loved ones until his passing.
Tim and Camellia's children blessed them with 11 grandchildren, whom they cherish daily, and three more are on the way due by the end of 2015. All of their children share their love of the Gospel and excitement for the beautiful journey their father is embarking upon.
Tim is survived by his loving wife, Camellia; five children, Timothy Scott Morley Jr. (Katryn) Morley, Shilah (Clark)Anderson, Karadie (Paul) Jacobsen, McKenzy (Kimmy) Morley, Tanner (McKenna)Morley; his 11 grandchildren, Spencer, Cameron, Travis, Jonathan, Thomas, Ethan, Harper, Alex, Cache, Bentley, Logan; and five siblings, Howard (Lucia) Morley, Ric (Shauna) Morley, Terri (Matt) Clark, Toni (Jane) Morley, Tammi (Michael) Pollard.
