Charles Lottier Morgan

Born October 19, 1936, in Richmond, Virginia, Charles—affectionately known as “Chuck”—was the beloved husband of 50 years to the late Jerene K. (Hard) Morgan. He was preceded in death by his parents, Everett Lottier Edwards and Gaynell Gertrude Guthrow McEachin, both of Virginia, and by his daughters, Elizabeth Louise Walther Bruce of California, and Sherry Lynn Edwards of Virginia.

Chuck is survived by his brother, Norwood “Mac” McEachin of Michigan; his daughters Pamela Edwards of Florida, Lila Smith (Keith) of Missouri, Gayle Morgan Willis (Tom) of Texas, and Michele (Stewart) Edwards Morgan (Matthew) of Texas; and his son-in-law Timothy Bruce (Elizabeth) of California.

He was a proud and loving grandfather to Adam Hunnel of Virginia; Cheryl Dirr White of Virginia; Monica Humphrey Chrisman (Steve) of Missouri; Stephanie Hallmark of Missouri; Stephen Hallmark (Trisha) of Missouri; Devn Stewart of Hamilton, Ontario; Rachel Willis Puleo (Adam) of California; Kirsten Stewart-Parra Morgan (Jose Flutsch) of Verdun, Quebec; Wayne Michael Scott of Florida; Chloe Willis of Texas; and Jordan Willis of Texas. He is also survived by many great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, as well as nieces and nephews Todd McEachin (Margo) and Ronnai McEachin of Michigan; O’Linda Taylor (Joe) of Florida; and Amy Densmore Rogerson (John) and Regina Gibson of California.

Chuck was a United States Marine Corps Korean War veteran—Semper Fidelis. He lived by the belief that “pain is weakness leaving the body.” After serving his country, he worked in many professions throughout his life, including police officer, amateur wrestler, truck driver, gas station franchise manager, oil and gas refinery superintendent, electrician, propane distributor, and notary public. He also served as Grand Master of the Masonic Lodge in Cockrell Hill, Texas. Above all, his most cherished roles were those of husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and friend.

Chuck was loving, kind, intelligent, and funny, full of faith, deep devotion to God and a passion for philosophy. He often joked that he looked forward to having his long list of questions answered when he reached heaven. Known fondly as “Mr. Fix-It,” Chuck never met a stranger and never hesitated to help—repairing walkers and wheelchairs for neighbors even at age 89. He comforted others through service, offering himself as a doctor, counselor, surrogate father, chef, musician, and friend.

A private family celebration of life will be held later in February 2026. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to Disabled American Veterans, dav.org.

Our daddy, Chuck, will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved him.
