Jerry Wayne Morgan

Jerry was preceded in death by his daughter Cindi Morgan and daughter-in-law Carol Carlisle.

He is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Jean, and her three children: Mark Carlisle and sons, Chris Thompson and Daniel McKinney; Paul Carlisle and wife Paige and children - daughter Sara Carlisle and son Justin Dole and wife Morgan and sons Maverick and Cameron; and Kelly D'Eath and husband Danny and children - son Jared D'Eath and wife Elli and daughter Sydney McCarver and husband Caleb and son Hayes. He is also survived by his granddaughter Cierra Morgan, daughter Karen Scharbor, both of Oklahoma, and his niece Mary Alice Eubanks, whom he helped raise.

Jerry, a member of Southside Baptist Church, was a man of integrity and a child of God.

He started working at a very young age to help his mother provide for the family during bleak times. He was drafted and served in the U.S. Army as a military policeman. Following service, he worked at Goodyear until retirement at which time he was able to enjoy over 30 years on the Coosa River with the love of his life.

Jerry was an expert hunter and fisherman. He made many trips out west and hunted in Shoal Creek Valley. He also spent countless hours fishing on the Coosa and on trips with his fishing buddies.

Jerry and Jean loved to travel, taking numerous trips with their friends. They also loved taking the grandchildren to the Smoky Mountains and the beach.

Jerry loved his many friends and his in-laws. We will always treasure the memories of his dry wit and his love for us. He will be greatly missed.
