Gozie Omaliko "Jake" Morah

Gozie Omaliko “Jake” Morah came into the world on July 19, 1993, to the joy of his parents and big sister. (Jake’s older brother initially wasn’t very thrilled, but eventually came around). Jake, affectionately known as “GoGo” in his early years, grew up in Huntsville. He was active in the community, participating in various sports like soccer, t-ball, and basketball, as well as church youth group and Boy Scouts. Jake started out as a Cub Scout, and moved up as a Boy Scout, and remained active in Boy Scouts until he graduated from Huntsville High in 2011. He went on to graduate from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. By this time, Jake was better known as the introvert of the family, although he could be quite verbose if the topic of conversation was one that piqued his interest. Jake enjoyed watching anime, playing video games and board games, and would often enjoy down time at local gaming cafés. He never met a baby or toddler that didn’t like him, and he always had scratches available for any furry friends that wandered his way. He was also gifted in the kitchen, and cooked meals for the family often. He was quick witted and kind, and he loved his family. In 2019, Jake accepted a job in his field that moved him to San Antonio, Texas, where he lived until leaving us far too soon on August 10, 2023. Jake is survived by his loving parents, Emmanuel and Wanda Morah of Huntsville, Texas; his older sister, Nkechi Morah of Houston, Texas; his older brother, Obiajulu “Obi” Morah of Huntsville, Texas, and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins that span the globe. Family and friends will gather Friday, August 25, 2023 at Sam Houston Memorial Funeral Home in Huntsville, TX, from 5:00 – 7:00 pm. A visitation will be held at 9:00 am and funeral services will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, August 26th, 2023, at: Praise & Glory Worship Center, 123 American Bank Street, Huntsville, Texas 77320.
