Morris Neal Lobrecht, a man who loved God, his family and his country, passed away October 10, 2020. Born December 18, 1944 to Tonner and Annie Mae Lobrecht in Navasota, Texas, he grew up in Alice, Texas where he learned the art of photography from his grandfather. He graduated from William Adams High School in 1963. Texas A& M was the college of choice but he moved closer to home and graduated from Texas A&I in Kingsville with a B.S. in civil engineering. During the summer breaks, he worked as a student trainee for the Soil Conservation Service. Upon receiving his degree, he was hired by SCS and began training to become a design engineer. In 1969 he entered the U.S. Air Force Officer Candidate School and served his country as a missile launch officer. After his tour of duty he returned to his job in Fort Worth. He worked for SCS, later renamed Natural Resources Conservation Service, until he retired 37 years later. His job sent him to various locations around the US, but in 2000 he returned to Fort Worth as a Design Civil Engineer. A coworker commented that Morris was a mentor, teacher, and leader for many people in the dam safety community and that he would be missed. He called Morris a true civil servant in every sense of the word. Besides being an avid photographer, Morris delighted in sharpening knives for family members and friends, competition shooting, and collecting writing and drafting implements and old tools. Morris was a member of Arlington Heights United Methodist Church, Arlington Sportsman’s Club, NRCS retirees and the Association of Dam Safety Officers. Memorial gifts may be made to either the bell choir, 5&2 Food Truck or the Grace Fund at Arlington Heights UMC, 4200 Camp Bowie, Ft. Worth, Tx 76107. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
