Dear Morgan Family,
I can't begin to put into words what Scott and the whole family have meant to me. Scott was a very important part of my life and was very dear to me and all of you have positively influenced me my whole life. Tammy, I have never met you but I am so glad that you and Scott found each other.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Scott, Tammy, Doug, Barbara, Milt and Lydia and your families.

Dear Morgan Family,
I just became aware of the passing of Scott and am truly saddened by this for all of you and anyone that had the opportunity to know him. I know that my family will always think of "Scotty Elf" and hear his beautiful voice singing his favorite Christmas Carol. We will certainly miss those Christmas Eve gatherings with his performances. Thanks for these images.

We love you so much Scotty! Thank you for your wonderful strength and courage you have given us that no matter what, we can change for the better through the love of family and friends but most importantly our Savior Jesus Christ.

Scott had a profound influence on my life and continues to do so. He gave me the courage to go out and do the thing I loved, even though many people question my future in theater. I could never understand his strength and it still boggles the mind. Even so, it has given me hope for my future to have known him. I only hope and pray that I can honor his memory with my future life and choices.
With all my love and gratitude,
thank you Scott.

Tammy,
Thank you so much for sharing Scott with me. His little talks with me and his testimony has given me hope regarding my daughter. He has enriched my testimony greatly. He was writing a book during our time in "Christmas Carol" last year and I would love to read it someday. May you be comforted and blessed with the knowledge that, even though it may seem long now, you will be with Scott again very soon. Thank you both again. I will forever remain Scott's "Stuuuupid Woman" Mrs. Mops.
My love to you.

I'm so sorry to hear about Scott. Although, I didn't know him, I do know his Mother. I'm sure, Scott was a blessed soul being raised by Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Light a Salt Lake City candle in Scott's honor.

Scott was a great man who will be deeply missed. We have many fond memories of our Theatre 121 days over twenty years ago. He always had a smile and a hug for us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We loved our association with Scott--espcially during our time at Rodgers Memorial Theatre. He was a Scrooge that brought to life the Christmas spirit for our whole family, who tried to support his emotional and inspired performance (as Bob Cratchit, Jonathan, Grace Smythe, Young Fan, and of course Tiny Tim). All who knew Scott were truly blessed. We look forward to our etnernal associations with this great man.

I always looked forward to your sunday school lessons and the passion you brought. But nothing was more powerful and inspiring to me than that of your life's lesson. You are such an example to me and I thank our Heavenly Father for that example.
God speed Brother. Peace be with you and your family.

Scott was and is unconditional, non-judgemental, and a friend to all. I knew him better through Tammy's eyes, but I trust her judgment and when I first met him in 1999, he was very amiable and readily accepted our whole family. I hope I will have the opportunity to sing and/or act with him in the next life. Take care my brother!!! God be with you till we meet again.

Just a note from this missionary in Nova Scotia Canada, to say that I would not be on my mission if it weren't for a few special people. One of them was Scott. I loved being the scarecrow while he played the Cowardly Lion. Thanks to his encouragement and support I am serving a mission and have had the best experiences of my life here. Thank you with all of my heart and may the Spirit of Peace be with Tammy and all of the family.
Sincerely

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Scott. I got to know your wonderful family through another beautiful member of your family (Laura). Although I don't keep in touch as I should please know that you are on my mind and in my heart often. I love your family. We were celebrating the birth of our ninth grandbaby when I was prompted to pick up the newspaper and read the obituaries, When I saw Scott's obit. I was shocked and very saddened. What a beautiful person he is. My love is with you at this hard time and always.
All our Love, Keith and Cindy Anderson

Dear Doug, Barbara and family, I am not sure if you will remember me, but I was one of your neighbours on 2785 West. I am the old Jessie Price. I was very saddened to hear of Scotts passing. He tended my kids a lot when he was a teenager and I always felt that they were in same capable hands. He was also a good friend to me and listened to a lot of drama that was part of our lives at the time. I read his obituary on my way down to St George, where I stayed for a day, then on to Mesa Arizona where my daughter is seriously ill. If it hadn't been for that, I would have loved to attended the celebration of his life. I was thrilled to read of the great shift in his life and his eternal marriage and of how far he had progressed in the gospel. I have the obituary cut out and given to my children, who remember him well, with fondness. I am sure his experience was of great value to so many others who may have strayed. I would love to have heard him bear his testimony, but I can truly say that the obituary touched me so much, it was the next best thing to being there. I have had a great shift in my life too, and share the wonderful feelingthat that brings with Scott. I knew that your son had proceeded him in passing, but didn't know that you had also had a daughter cross the veil. My heart goes out to you, because I am probably going to find myself in the same situation, unless there is some other miracle that can happen in her life to prolong it, even if only till her son returns from his mission. You have had a great deal of trials but you must consider Scotts life a triumphant success. I just wanted to let you know that after all these years Scott wasn't easy to forget. My God's arm comfort you at this time, is our prayer. with love Jessie Price P.S. Will you please give me the address to send a little donation to his wife.

Tammy,
Both Mitch and I knew Scott in high school and I had the privilege of being in Madrigals with him. He was a good friend and wonderful person as well as extremely talented musically. We are sorry for your loss. I don't think I've ever read a more lovely obituary. I am so glad that we got to see you at our reunion a year ago. It was great to see the both of you so happy together. We know we are better for having known him. Please know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I've been thinking about Scott's service all weekend. The service was one of spiritual and emotional growth for me. I am astounded at Scott's strength of will. He is an example of spiritual strength to all who knew him and who now will know of him though his book, and through Tammy. Our family has been richly blessed by having Doug, Barbara, Scott and Tammy share talents and love at our Christmas parties. We appreciate the ties to our mother's family. We love you guys.

I feel so thankful to have been a witness to some of your most precious events: your courtship during "Fiddler" rehearsals and performances, your engagement and wedding, as well as Scott's baptism. I'm so glad he was part of my life. Thank you for sharing his book with us; I want to read more. Let me know if I can help in any way. You're in my heart and prayers.

I worked with Scott in the Sandy Amphitheatre's production of "Annie". Such a wonderful, vibrant man! I loved teaching him to dance, he was so willing to try anything, while working very hard to perfect everything and smiling all the time. Thanks Scott, Someday we'll tap dance again.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very difficult time.

Tammy,
I am so grateful for my mom (Judy Cameron) to show me Scott's Tribute. As I was reading I amazed at how he lead such an incredible life. We have all had our trials and tribulations in life and my mom has shared so much with me and my family on your conversion to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I feel like your part of the family the way my parents have had you and Scott in our lives. As I continued to read and I have to say I read it more then once and then the I read the guest book. I told my mom this is how I want to be remembered as well. Tammy, Scott shared his love and passion to all those who saw him perform or in person. His smile and the look in his eyes, show how our Heavenly Father and his older brother Jesus Christ not only knew him, but taught him how to use and share his talents with others. Tammy, you and Scott have made a great impact on our family and words cant describe the love that we have for you. I know that we are at a loss down here on earth, however, the heavens are rejoicing for the great work that he is accomplishing there. My family loves you both and thanks you so much for being part of our family.

Scott,
That light in your eyes shines brightly in my soul. You are a dear friend and great example of the perfect love of Christ. The Friend that I have lost here on earth will be missed until that day when we shall meet again. Keep that joyful fire in your heart and continue to sing your praises to your Heavenly King.
Tammy,
I am greatful to you for sharing this wonderful blessing that is Scott D. Morgan. Thank you for letting him be who he is and thank you for your example of Generous, Pure, and Simple Love. I Pray for your comfort daily and my thoughts will be with you through this rough time.
Doug and Barbara,
Thanks to you for raising such a fine man. Thanks for teaching him of the Pure Love of Christ. His example has blessed my life in so many ways. I pray for your comfort in your time of loss. Your Scott is loved!!!

Dear Tammy Wow what a wonderful tribute to Scott at his funeral. I have not been to one so inspiring and the Spirit was so strong there. We had no idea of Scott's trials and after reading all the tributes paid him I can understand how much he has touched peoples lives by his great example. We always enjoyed his High Coucil talks because he spoke from the heart and shared his talents. We know that you will miss him greatly but what a legacy he left behind. The time I saw you and Scott at Sam's club I had no idea how serious it was. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Last April I lost a son who was the same age as Scott. Only his passing was very different because he took his own life. So I never got to say goodbye and that was very hard. thank goodness for the Plan of Salvation and the great love our Heavenly father has for us. We love you Tammie you are indeed a great example.

My dear friend & brother, Scott, I am not going to sit and tell you what a great person you are. you already know how I feel, there have been plenty of others before me to do that and I wouldn't want you to get a big head. I do want to tell you that I read your obituary at your funeral today and I believe you would have been pleased, I heald my composure until I reach your brother & sisters names as having preceeded you and I think I got choked up because I knew you were together again with them and your grandparents and uncles and my Amy. Scotty you would have been very pleased and I don't think you could have had a better send off if you had scripted it yourself. I am proud of what you did with your life and I will always try to emulate you as I live out my own life. you need not worry your little head about Tammy, as she is in good hands and we will take good care of her until the two of are reunited. I need to share with you again the prayer that got us both through the tough times, because this is one of those times for me. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference" Scotty, we love you and will miss you dearly. I will also watch out for mom & dad too. but you knew that. Love ya bud.

My three children and I had the luck of making Christmas Carol at RMT in 2006 and were even luckier to have worked with Scott and Tammy Morgan. I remember Tammy saying that she had not wanted to perform again, but Scott talked her into trying out to do one more play together. How lucky for us! I also remember how sick Scott was and how he bundled up in the seats of the theatre during "hell" week. He was so dedicated to our cast and to the show that he came to watch even though he was not well enough to perform. I recall one long evening I ventured up to sit by him and talk. He told me how much Tammy meant to him and how she helped him overcome insurmountable obstacles. He spoke of her as if they were newlyweds and said that he never imagined such happiness was possible. I feel so priviledged to have worked with both Scott and Tammy. I love them both. Tammy taught my sweet little 5 year old daughter how to make yarns hats. She shared in our fun in the dressing room as we belted out "Let It Snow". Scott always had a kind word for me and for all 3 of my children. He is a true giant among men and I feel honored to have had his influence in my life and the lives of my children. Tammy, I hope you know that we are praying for you each day and have nothing but the highest regard for you. As you take out the ornaments this Christmas season, look upon the one we gave Scott during the play and know how much he means to so many people. We love you both.
Love,
Jackie Smith (ghost of future), Haley, Danny (Ebeneezer @12), and Addie Mae Smith

Tammy,
I am truly sorry for you loss. You were always someone who inspired me when I was younger and living in your ward with you as my advisor. I have so many fond memories of you and theatre. Who knew that the theatre would play such an important place in both our lives way back then. Then came Hale Center and Rodgers Memorial and now you have lost your loving spouse and I still miss my father to this day. I am truly sorry for your loss. take care and Remember you are loved!

Dear Barbara and Doug,
I was so sorry to hear of Scott's death. He was such a talented man and was always willing to share his gifts with others. I will always remember the Coombs's family reunions when he would come and sing and Doug would play for him. The last time I heard Scott sing was at the Veteran's Day Memorial in Midvale Cemetery last November. I know that his grandparents, Norman and Lydia, are having a wonderful reunion with him now. God Bless You! Sandra Brimhall

Tammy and Family,
Laura and I are so very sorry for the loss of Scott. He was and is a wonderful person who had a positive impact on our lives. He was always so interested in our boys and showed them love and attention every time they were together - that really means a lot to the boys and to us their parents. Tammy - you and Scott are a wonderful example of an eternal companionship - staying positive through all the ups and downs this life brings. Your examples of acceptance and forgiveness are eternal lessons you have helped us learn. Thank you. And to Doug and Barbara - our hearts and prayers are with you too. We will continue to pray for you all to be strengthened through this hard time and we will share in the testimony that we all have the opportunity to be together again. May you feel the loving arms of our Savior and Heavenly Father through the Holy Ghost and also through the many ministering angels in this world who will lend love and tender care.
All our love,
Brent, Laura, Gardner, and Nicholas Lange

I knew Scott for over 20 years. We also worked together at the Airport Hilton. He was the restaurant manager at the time. He also made me laugh and always had time for others. He was going through a rough time then, and I am glad to see that he finally found what he was looking for. I haven't seen Scott in years, but he touched my heart and I will never forget him. Bless you Scott and your loving family.

Dear Scotty, it's like this: You commited yourself to singing at the funeral of every member of my family! This was not supposed to happen...and yet, it WAS supposed to happen for you have already started to change the lives of others, some from the powerful obituary that bears witness to what repentance is all about.The voice will never be stilled; whether through music or your spoken words the world will come to know Scott Morgan. Our hearts are broken but we know of the Savior's atonement in our lives because you always bore your witness to it whenever we met.
From one of your old "groupies", Love, Mudder

Wow what a great individual. I remember one of the first places I met Scott was at Granger High, he played Fagen in Oliver. He was always so fun and we had some good talks.
I am so impressed with how much he has overcome in his life. May the Lord be with you at this time.
Scott has opened the door to see the light of the wonderful place he will prepare to be ready to see his family again.
Families are Forever and his strength has helped him be able to enjoy the blessings we have been promised.
Good luck, Scott We will see you again.

I had the chance to work with him twice at Rodgers Memorial Theatre. First in "Hello Dolly" and then in "A Christmas Carol." I've never met a kinder, more encouraging man. It's greatly his influence that convinced me to gain my own testimony of Christ and to serve a mission. His performance as Scrooge will remain dear to my heart, because it was HIS Scrooge that taught me to change my own life and conquer addiction.

Scott, your strength and conviction amazed me when you sang these words in the Oratorio, and I will always remember your shining and beautiful countenance. What a privilege to know you and be able to gain a deeper understanding of Christ's Atonement through you. I can only hope to have such a legacy.

I don't know Scott nor anyone in his family. I read the obituaries every day, for some strange reason. I don't read all of them I just check to see if I know any of the names. For some reason I chose to read Scott's obituary. I just wanted to thank the family for such honesty. Thank you for sharing his wonderful story of repentance. I was truly inspired and it brought tears to my eyes. It is a beautiful tribute to him and I am grateful that you shared his wonderful story. May God Bless your family at this difficult time. I know you will see him again!

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Scott many years ago at Marriott. He was always such a great guy and co worker. I was excited when I did have the chance to see him preform at Hale Theater as "Scrooge". What an AMAZING talanted Man he truly was and He will be missed! Our prayers are with your family at this time!
May God be with you until you meet again!!

Scott gave me a letter years ago that I have read many times, and have held dear to my heart. I was amazed that he knew of my struggles, and took the time to help guide me. He has been such an amazing example in my life. I am forever a better person thanks to his influence.
Tammy, I love you and am so greatful to have always felt a part of your theater family.
Gregory Wendel

I once sang in an oratorio with Scott. In it he sang the part of Christ. I can't think of anyone who would have understood the role better or sung it as well. Truly he is a man who is to be admired. I hope that I can face my challenges with as much faith, humility, and determination.

Act 3
Scott Morgan enters right stage and stands center stage.
(Scott smiles to the audience as he looks at every one there)
Voice from over head is heard; Scott, the time is nigh, You must come forth; I have work for you to do.
Scott: I beg for more time, I have so much to do here.
Voice: This time, you can not wait.
Scott: But what of my wife, my parents? Who will be here to take care of them? Who will be with them, and let them know of my love for them?
Voice: Part of the that responsibility still rests upon thy shoulders… for you must learn a new way. You must also prepare for those that will follow you.
Scott: But what about the good-byes? There are many I must tell- Parting words I need to say.
Voice: No need to say good bye, for you’re not really leaving. You will still be here, with all those you love.
Scott: Please help me to understand…for I feel pain in my heart for those I leave behind.
Voice: Come forth son, and feel pain no more. I will show you a love and understanding that is beyond explanation. Come… and take the journey.
Scott: (Closes his eyes and bows his head) I am ready
(A mist comes up on the stage, and Scott disappears in the mist.)
Curtain closes.
……..
To Scott,
Your grand and final performance here upon this earth, like every play that you were part of before, may we honor thee with the greatest love and respect. We wish you well my friend on your new journey. We will look for thee upon that day, when we can once again be part of the audience that stands in awe of you. Until that time, we are sure, God will enjoy the shows.
To Tammy:
Our prayers and hearts are with you...

I have laughed and cried as I have read these many touching tributes to Scott and his incredible talent. What a remarkable man he was. How grateful we are that he shared these last few years of his life with Tammy and with his knowledge of the atonement. I remember how much my husband and my mother and I enjoyed seeing Scott play "Scrooge'. He was magnificent! My mother is Scott's great Aunt Zelma, and when Scott saw my mother after the performance, he threw his arms around her and thanked her for coming to see him. We are so sad that we will not be able to see him perform again. All of us love the Morgan family so much. My favorite memory of Scott was at my father's funeral. We sang as a congregational hymn "How Great Thou Art". I could hear Scott's beautiful voice above everyone in attendance; it was a sweet spiritual experience for me. We love you Scott and Tammy. We mourn for you and for Doug and Barbara and all the Morgan family. I know that my Aunt LaVerda and Uncle Scott are so happy to have their grandson home again. Families truly are forever!

I'm a complete stranger who was touched by Scott's story. Posting his obituary on my refrigerator has inspired others in my family, as well. If the Savior's atonement wasn't for Scott, both for what it did for him in this life as well as in the life to come, then it isn't effective for anyone else, either. Thanks for sharing his triumph.

October 11, 2007
Tammy- I do not know you or Scott, but I was so touched by this incredible tribute, and want to thank you and his family for the courage of honesty in sharing his story. I know without a doubt our Heavenly Father has such an incredible plan for us as he does for your husband. Scott is a example of someone that battled adversities in life, and then conquered trials that so many in life would fail. What a great example he was and still is!
The main purpose of this entry is mainly to also you thank you forthe example that is evident here by you showing true Christ-like love for excepting this man as he was, and giving him the support that he needed in life. I am sure you will be blessed immensely in this lifetime for your acts of unselfish love. You're amazing!

We will all miss Scott very much. He touched so many peoples lives and will alway remain in our hearts. We remember the first time we went to "A Christmas Carol" at the old Hale Centre Theater on Main Street. We asked him to sign our program because one day, he would make the big time. In our eyes, he has always been there and will alway be. We will miss him so much and never forget him. Tammy, Doug and Barbara, thank you for sharing your love with our family. Our love and deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. You guys will always remain a part of our family, as will Scott.

Dear Morgan Family and Tammy,
I am so sorry to hear of Scott's passing! Scott was in my dad's madrigal group and a member of our ward. Every time he came to my house he would talk or play with me. Even though I was a young child he made me feel important. As I have read the guest book I can see that he has done this for countless others. Scott's love will be greatly missed by all who know him. May the Lord be with you to bless and comfort you in your grief!
Love,

Morgan's, Scotty will be truly missed, his talent and true warmth were tremendeously touching. I new Scott would be a great actor when he sang "I Did It My Way" 26 years ago for family and friends in honor of his big brother.
Scott's singing and the enthusiasm in it could make you laugh, cry and have goosebumps all within one song. Scott was a great leader of many in his gift to share, and teach others. Scott was never afraid to share his gift of music to make someone smile.
Gods choir must have needed a good tenor right now. We will miss Scott greatly, but remember each song he sang and each part he played and the joy he gave to others. Let these memories give you piece in this very hard time.
Tammy, Scott was very blessed when he met you. He found true love. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of his life and all you shared.

Scott,
Thank you so much for making my very first play such a memorable one. I couldn't think of anyone who would make a better cowardly lion! Although you played a cowardly lion onstage, I knew you were a strong man in real life. I enjoyed working with you and always looked forward to coming to rehearsals to see what I could learn from you. Thank you.

From the time I was a little girl I've always loved Scott. Through all my growing up years he always had a bright smile and a warm hug for me. I'll miss him, but I'll always have the greatness of his example to lean on. Thanks for leaving us this gift Scott.

I remember the first time I met Scott... My Fagan.....what an infectious laugh!!! How I loved that spirit! What an example he became for me. We, in many ways, journeyed similar paths and I thank him for his example and his courage. Though I lost touch recently, I never forgot you Scott, I will miss you and pray for the day I may laugh with you again.
All my love to you in your grief Tammy, you have always been a woman of great strength and faith and I admire you deeply. May the Lord bless you and your family at this time.
Love,

We are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts and prayers are with you all. Scott made the biggest difference in my life, when I decided to turn my life around. I remember thinking that if Scott could do it then I could do it too. He is such an amazing example and his obituary is perfect.. Scott was the first babysitter I ever had and he made sure he told everyone, I then would remind him that that makes him really old. He would laugh every time and tell me not to remind him. That laugh makes me smill to think about. I was so happy I was able to be there when he proposed to sweet Tammy. It was amazing. I remeber his amazing voice, there were so many times in my life I wanted nothing to do with the church, but if I knew Scott was singing I would be there, he was so talented, to this day when I am sitting in church and and I remember sitting behind him and listening to him sing I remember when he found out I was getting married and that it was not in the temple and he told me all that would matter is that I got there, and we both promised no matter what we would make it, and we did. That same day he offered to sing at my wedding, I told himi he could sing whatever he wanted and he said he wanted to sing the same songs he sangs he sang to his sweet wife a few years before. It ment the world me. I look at the pictures and watch the video and I get goose bumps.I love you Scott and cannot wait to see you again. I am sure we will both make it!!!!

To the Morgan Family,
"Each life that touches ours for good, reflects Thine own great mercy, Lord". I am a better person this day and my life was touched by total strangers, Scott and his wife, as I read of his incredible life. His example is profound. May the Comforter be present in your lives.

Christmas Elf History is unlike any other history, which is unique in itself.
It is important to note that most people consider elves to be
( little ) people who have magical powers... And with this power, they help and are able to inspire what humans, especially children, see as well as experience when they believe in the joys of Christmas.
Dear Morgan family and Tammy,
For as long as I can remember, “Scotty, the elf” was a part of our Holiday tradition. With his infectious smile, the twinkle in his eyes, and his beautiful,
beautiful voice, we were often brought to tears of joy. Our Christmas Eves
will never be quite the same.
We are so sorry for your loss and will hold you all in our hearts.
We lost our own Scott last December to Cancer, and the death of our beloved Mother, Nadine, followed three short weeks after.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you--
as is our gratitude, for making all of our Christmas’s a beautiful memory.
With love,
The Swaner Family,
Hal, Sue, Stacey, Sheri and all of the kids.

I love you both so much!!!!!!!

My dearest Tammy,
One of my fondest memories of you and Scott was seeing you at the Sandy Amphitheater in your matching outfits and matching crocs! You could always see in his eyes his undieing love for his sweet gal, Tammy. He was always so kind and complimentary. His smile was always radiant. I recently read something that somehow describes the loss of parent, but I think it's also appropriate when losing a spouse: No matter how old you are when you lose a parent/spouse, you feel like a child lost in a department store and you cry like a six year old on the first day of boarding school. I'm just sure Scott left your arms and went into the arms of the Savior. I'm not the most religious person, but this I know-we are loved unconditionally no matter what. I am grateful to the Savior for that and for His Father who sent Him here. Loves to you!

To Tammi, Doug and Barbara, Milt and Lydia, and the whole Morgan family.
What a tribute to Scotty. There are no other words to express my feelings. I loved him--through the good, the not so good, and the better. And I'm so very proud of him.
His powerfully inspiring voice and infectious laugh will be missed by so many.
My tears and prayers are with you.

Tammy,
Although I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Scott well, he touched my life through you. You are the perfect example of a loving, unselfish, and adoring wife. I admire how you always spoke to Scott with tenderness and deep, heart-felt love. My family and I feel so sad for your loss, but rejoice in knowing that you will be together forever. May you continually be surrounded by the Spirit of Christmas, and may you know how much you and Scott mean to so many people.
Hugs and best wishes,

Scott was a great actor who knew how to take control of the stage. I feel badly about not being able to see him again before he passed away. I will always remember his performance at the Triad Center when he played the Ghost of Christmas Present. May we all take his example of "change for the better" into our lives.

Tammy,
We are so very thankful to have known Scott. He is a wonderful person and an amazing Scrooge. Whenever I think of the message of 'A Christmas Carol', Scott is the person I picture in my head. What an amazing irony that he left this earth on the day of our first rehearsal for 2007. We will dedicate this show to his memory and he will always be in my thoughts and prayers each night we work to tell this story.

What a wonderful inspiration and example Scott has given me. I am so happy I was able to know him and terribly sorry to hear of his passing. I don't think I ever saw him without a smile on his face. What a wonderful man! It is obvious he has touched so many for good.
Tammy, my heart and prayers go out to you.

Scott Morgan has been one of the strongest Christlike Examples in my life. What a privilege to know him. Tammy we love you. I count myself very luck to have shared the stage with him in Christmas Carol, The Sunday Fireside as his daughter, and many others. The Atonement is so real, he is a beautiful example of that.

Dear Tammy,
How we all love you both. It's been an honor to know you both and be a part of your lives. Caitlin loved the times she shared the stage with Scott as his annoying daughter in the Meadowlarks and also in the Christmas Carol. Scott gave so much to the character of Scrooge. His performances were brilliant. He brought something unique and tender to the role. He was Scrooge! His change of heart has touched many lives and he honors us all.
There are no words I know, that can truly comfort. Scott was a man among men, an example for good, a kind loving friend and he will be ever missed.
I remember the first time I watched Meadowlarks and when he said in his booming yet gentle voice. "You can't run away from the truth" It stuck a chord in me. I won't forget how that touched me. I loved to hear him sing and feel fortunate to have known him.
The memories are sweet and the parting bitter, but we'll all meet together on that grand stage we call eternity.
Many hugs.

Uncle Scott,
You will be greatly missed. Do me a favor please and tell my Mom hi for me. You were such an inspiration, and a joy to be around. I am so glad you had the opportunity to meet Taziana, I know you had a special place for her in your heart, and she will grow up knowing that. I will never forget our last little lunch we had together. I treasure the times and moments we shared. My outing with you and Aunt Tammy is unforgetable. You were a strong man and I thank you for that.
I Love you and Miss you.
Your Niece Bobby

You have been so blessed to be with Scott for the time you were together. I didn't know him very well but what I did know I loved. He was always kind and willing to help. He was supportive of all your activities and he was willing to share you with all your friends.
I admire both of you and wish you well.

Tammy,
I can tell by reading here that it was my very great loss that I joined the Hale family a little too late to get to know Scott. It is apparent that he was a very special person with a lot of love to share. I'm keeping you in my prayers.

I first met Scott as he played the part of Fenley Parsons, a widower with five boys, in Crawford Gates’ play “Promised Valley” in the old Social Hall at This Is The Place Heritage Park back in 2001. What a talent! What a great personality!
Later, I had the privilege of acting with Scott in the play “Are the Meadowlarks Still Singing?” at the Hale Center Theater. As Scott portrayed the part of David Ashley, the troubled minister who was earnestly searching for the truth, I could feel the sincerity of his faith and the humility he had as a disciple of Christ.
Scott once bore witness to me of the power of the atonement of Jesus Christ. I felt the power of his words and the strength of his conviction. It was an unforgettable experience that brought us both to tears. Scott has “fought the good fight” and his memory will live on.
Tammy, may you be comforted in this difficult time with the knowledge that life is everlasting, as are the relationships we treasure so dearly. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Alan Tong.

I didn't know Scott, but was uplifted to read of the way in which he overcame adversity. The Atonement is all encompassing, and I know Scott will be blessed with a great reward for his life-change. (D & C 58:42-43.) Thank-you for sharing Scott's story. I found it very touching, and know it will assist me in my calling as an LDS Bishop when encouraging saints to overcome challenges. May God bless you as a family.

There are very few people that can truly touch the heart and lives of everyone they come in cantact with in a positive way. Scott was one of those individuals. He truly proved that you do have the choice and the legacy he leaves behind is reflected in the memories we all have of him. My heartfelt sympathies go out to Tammy and Scott's family. I truly believe we can all smile with the thought that his powerful voice is now leading a concourse of angels in singing praises to His name.
