Beloved Gilbert icon and Valley philanthropist Marvin Richard Morrison died Monday at the age of 83. Morrison's son, Howard, said his father died of heart failure at 1 a.m., after spending six weeks in hospice care.

A native Arizonan, Morrison is survived by his wife, June, of 62 years, sons Richard, Scott and Howard, and sister, Betty Seymour.
