Morgan was an avid bowler and had a passion for coaching bowling to the youth leagues. He grew up playing domino’s since the age of 7 and was the Texas State Domino Champion two times. Morgan was a compassionate and caring man, always taking care of family, whether it was driving them to doctor appointments, running errands or just being there for them. He had a soft spot for his rescue dog, Foxy. Morgan was drafted into the United States Army and proudly served his country. He retired from DuPont as supervisor over the F-Unit. He was a member of Northside Baptist Church where he loved to attend his Sunday School class and was faithful in bringing coffee to the teacher every Sunday.
He adored his wife, daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He will surely be missed by many friends and family.

He is preceded in death by his parents and son-in-law, Wesley Ritchie.
