Morgan RUSSELL Obituary

RUSSELL, Cst. Morgan November 11, 1967 – October 12, 2022 Tragically, in the line of duty, on October 12, 2022, at the age of 54. Lovingly remembered by his wife of 27 years, Marisa; and his two daughters, Madelaine (age 25) and Maggie (age 22). He is survived by his mother, Susan; his brother, Heath; fondly remembered by his uncle and aunts, Harry and Janice, and Barbie; and his cousins, John, Amy, Lisa, and Megan. Having been a frontline police officer for over 33 years, Morgan will be deeply missed by his fellow officers. Throughout his career, Morgan served as a founding member of the Emergency Response Unit (for 22 years), a coach officer, a trained crisis negotiator, a member of the recruiting team (conducting interviews and presenting to local colleges), and most importantly, a leader and a friend. Morgan's family would like to express their profound sorrow at losing the best husband and daddy.

Pulled me over on Dissette, Bradford, a few years ago, I was speeding, pulled onto Artesian. I apologized for speeding, and he thanked me for making his job easier, he was so Kind, and so sorry he had to give me a ticket, but there was a campaign and he had to issue the ticket. Everyday I go to work I think of this Kind officer, and I don't speed. My heart aches for your family, RIP
