Morris L. Ankrum Jr. was born November 11, 1965 to the late Morris and Rachel Ankrum. He was born on his mother’s birthday. He was raised in Brooklyn NY. He was one of three children. On Monday July 13th he fell asleep in death. Morris was married and 3 children were born to this union. Shelton, Brittany and Riley. In 2007 he moved to Charlotte NC to be closer to his mother. Morris was a proud father, protector and provider. He never looked for praises and he was never one to boast. When times were good or bad, he was always the one to make you laugh. He was dearly loved, and his passing was deeply heartbreaking. We will always have fond memories of him. He was known as “Big Moe” and he had a big heart to match.

He is survived by his children Shelton Ankrum, Brittany Ankrum, and Riley Ankrum. His sister Cynthia Johnson and her husband Bert Johnson. His brother Antoine Ankrum. He left behind many nieces, nephews and other family members who are devastated by this loss.

“The best father you could have. So happy to call you my dad. Didn’t know the time was here. I didn’t know you would pass. I was just talking to you we had a few laughs. I knew something was up. I’m not going to front. I’m going to miss play fighting when I was little you were throwing me up. So many good memories, its going to be tough. I’ll see you again and say I Love You a Bunch”
