Kenneth Ray Morgan

Kenny was preceded in death by his brother, Eddie Morgan. He is survived by his loving parents, Coralee Morgan and James Morgan; his two brothers, Greg Morgan and Mike (Ellen) Morgan, all of Kokomo, Indiana; his sister, Teresa (Jack) McGrew of Tipton, Indiana; his son, Dustin Morgan of Kokomo, Indiana; his daughter, Kelsey Morgan and her husband, Garrett Mahaffey; and his cherished grandchildren, Juniper Stilley, Camille Mahaffey, Calvin Mahaffey, Garrett Mahaffey, and Sylvia Mahaffey, all of Indianapolis.

After graduating from Kokomo High School, Kenny set out on a life defined by adventure. At first, he moved to Texas and eventually he made his way to Florida, where he met his wife of 19 years, Shari Morgan. The two started their family in Tampa, Florida. To support his young family, Kenny became a certified welder and worked on supertankers that traveled the globe.

Kenny lived a nomadic life at times. Even while developing his career, he followed opportunity and curiosity wherever they led. He spent years as a self professed "rubber tramp" while he lived in an Airstream Argosy RV. He even lived aboard a sailboat for a time, fully embracing a lifestyle shaped by freedom, self-reliance, and exploration.

Eventually, Kenny returned to Indiana, where he cared for his aging parents while earning numerous certifications in a variety of trades. He finally became a heavy equipment operator in the Kokomo Union of Operating Engineers, a role he took great pride in. He retired from the union in 2019, closing a long chapter defined by craftsmanship, resilience, and dedication.

In retirement, Kenny enjoyed pursuing his many interests including woodworking, gardening, solar electricity, and other hands-on projects that allowed him to keep learning and creating. His hobbies were eclectic, reflecting a lifelong love of problem-solving and independence. He also deeply loved his dog, Sierra, who was a constant and faithful companion.

Kenny will be remembered for his adventurous spirit, his strong work ethic, and the unique path he carved through life. He leaves behind a family who loved him deeply and countless stories that reflect a life truly lived.
