Dr. H. Alan Morris D.D.S.

Dr. H. Alan Morris, D.D.S. of Scott Depot passed away peacefully Monday, August 5, 2024 after a short illness. Alan was born December 1st, 1942 in Charleston, and was a 1960 graduate of Charleston High School. He earned his pre-med undergraduate degree from West Virginia University, and graduated from WVU’s School of Dentistry in 1969. He then served in the United States Air Force at the rank of Captain as a dentist. Alan opened his dental practice in Teays Valley in the early 1970s, and gave conscientious care to his patients for more than 50 years, up until July of this year. Alan cherished his patients, many of whom became good friends over the years. Alan was an avid hunter and fisherman. He was happiest at his second home on Hilton Head Island, where he loved to boat, fish, and enjoy the beaches and restaurants of the island. Alan was preceded in death by his parents, Jessie Isabel Halbert Morris and William Harold Morris. He is survived by his bonus children: Mylissa Spradling (Andy) of St. Albans; Shawn Allen of Louisiana; Grandchildren: 2nd Lt. (Army) Evan Spradling, of Texas; Audrey Spradling of St. Albans; Claire Spradling of St. Albans; Phoenix Allen; Alex Allen; Brandon Allen, Gabby Allen; and Lilly Allen, all of Louisiana; his beloved Yorkie, Annie, at home; and many special friends. Alan is also survived by his dedicated dental staff, Jo Swann, Wanda Thomasson, and Julie Stowers. These ladies were much more than staff to Dr. Morris, they were good friends to him and his family. The family would like to thank the staff at CAMC Memorial HospiceCare for their excellent care of Alan. Funeral service for Alan will be held at 1:00 pm, Monday, August 12, 2024 at Bartlett-Nichols Funeral Home, St. Albans, with Lee Hamrick officiating. Entombment with full military honors will follow at Cunningham Memorial Park, St. Albans. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the funeral service at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to HospiceCare of Charleston. You may visit Alan’s tribute page at BartlettNichols.com to share memories or condolences with the family.
