It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Morris Faiman, a beloved member of the DCCCA family who served on the Board of Directors since 1980. Morris passed away on April 23, 2024, at the age of 91.
“Morris dedicated his life finding ways to treat and benefit others,” DCCCA CEO Lori Alvarado said. “Morris Faiman not only demonstrated this commitment as DCCCA’s longest-serving board member but throughout his successful career.”
Morris was a tenured Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Kansas, where his research aimed at providing a better understanding of substance use addiction.
A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, May 1st, at 10:00 a.m. at Temple Beth Torah, 6100 W. 127th Street in Overland Park, Kansas.
