Indiana Pacers vice chairman Jim Morris, who served many important roles throughout his life, passed away this weekend.
The Indiana Pacers announced the passing of James, known as Jim, Morris on Saturday. He was 81 years old.
Morris was vice chairman of Pacers Sports & Entertainment, and he originally joined the Pacers in 2007. He earned the Sachem Award in 2021, and the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016 for his life of work. "There are no words that would do justice to how consequential Jim's life truly was. To his very last day, he was hard at work bringing people together to help those most in need and make our city and our state stronger, more civil, and more united. No one loved Indiana and Indianapolis more than Jim. To us, though, Jim was family, a lifelong friend, a mentor, and the ultimate fan," PS&E owner Herb Simon said in a statement.
