David Mark Morton

July 11, 2022

David Mark Morton, born March 5, 1992, died accidentally on June 1, 2022. Join us in remembering Dave from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, August 20, at Alberta Abbey, 126 NE Alberta Street, Portland, Oregon.

At age 15, David came to live at Schrom Boys Home, Bonners Ferry. He went to Bonners Ferry High School, loved soccer and was the happiest at Schweitzer and on his skate board. He worked at Thrift Way and Schrom Boys Home before returning to Portland.

A truly unique and gregarious character; Dave gave us all a reason to smile with his comedic relief, distinct fashion sense, VHS film collection, and remarkable knowledge of (and preference for) hair-care products.

He was at his best on any board or bicycle, in the kitchens he worked, and around campfires and gatherings with family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Susan Beasley Morton and he is survived by his father, J. Mark Morton (Kathleen Benafel), sister Kristin (Pat Muri); brother Robert (Emily Plews); numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course, his friends.
