MORGAN, Dennis Edward It is with immeasurable sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of Dr. Dennis Morgan on January 8, 2015. The eldest of six children, he was born in St. John's, Newfoundland on September 10, 1956. After graduating medical school and training as a cardiologist, he settled in Victoria, British Columbia with his wife Cheryl, where they raised four beautiful children. Dennis was predeceased by his mother Susanna, his father Harold and his brother Elvis. He leaves to mourn his wife of 34 years Cheryl (Smith), daughters Kristy (Harrison Wolfe), Erin (Chris Manson), Natalie (Stephen Hextall), and son Brendan (Chelsea McMenamie), as well as grandsons Kane and Maverick Wolfe. In Newfoundland, his surviving siblings are Harold (Cindy), Roxanne (Larry), Suzanne and Kim (Marcel), Suzanne and Kim. A long time member of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, he loved being near the ocean and spending time with his family in Lake Cowichan, where he fostered his love of boating and fishing. There will be a public memorial service for Dennis at Christ Church Cathedral on Saturday, January 17th, 2015 at 12 o'clock noon, followed by a celebration of life at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club for family and friends. Light refreshments will be served. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Canadian Mental Health Association or, locally, Our Place Society.

I was just 40 when Dr Morgan Diagnosed me with severe Congestive Heart Failure. At that time it seemed that there was little chance that I would ever have normal heart function again with death being a very real possibility. I saw his concern as he delivered that news to me, I being a mother of five young children. Through his detailed care I survived and my heart function returned to normal. He saved my life. Now 7 years later I am living a full and active life, and taking care of my family, thanks to the extraordinary care and knowledge of this good doctor. I will miss joking with him during my check ups.

My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. I hope that all who knew him can find peace in his passing.

We are fortunate to have met the Morgan's through neighbours and the RVYC. Dennis was easy to strike a conversation with, always had a smile; and it seemed to me, a wry sense of humour which we loved. As has been reflected by so many others, we feel grateful to have met & spent time with him; and we will miss him. We extend thoughts of courage and strength to Cheryl and the kids.

My deepest sympathies to those closest to Dr. Morgan. Your loss is undoubtedly deep and profound. I wish strength and support for all of you in the coming days, weeks and months.
I did not know Dr. Morgan very well, beyond our brief chats at the office; but, as it turns out, we shared some commonalities, including health challenges - and even a birthdate. I am saddened that his life was so short, and I hope that he will now rest in peace.

Dr. Morgan was my elderly father's cardiologist for many years until his passing in 2010. We didn't even mind the drive down from Qualicum Beach because his care and concern for elderly patients was memorable. He was so respectful and kind to my Dad, always had time in his busy schedule for one more question. My sincere condolences to his family on their loss of this wonderful doctor.
