John Morgan Obituary

John F. Morgan, left us December 29, 2002, riding his Harley in Wickenburg Arizona.
John lived in Anthem, Arizona and worked at the Shea campus of Scottsdale Memorial Hospital. Music and Sailing were his passions, he was an accomplished drummer and skilled sailor. John is survived by his children, Phebe, Butch; grandchildren Aidan and Issak; Brothers Tom and Chuck; Sisters Carol and Benay and his companion Kim.
Memorial services were held at Good Shepherd of the Hills Episcopal Church in Cave Creek, Arizona, Friday January 3 at 2:00 pm (480-488-3283). In lieu of flowers please send a donation in John's name to Rosie's House 527 W. Pima St. Phx, AZ 85003. Rosie's house serves disadvantaged children with music lessons and other music opportunities. Those who did not know him suffered a great loss. Rowdy, energetic, big hearted, master of wit, and loyal friend. No doubt he is at St. Peter's gate drum sticks in hand saying where's the beer and when do we get paid.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

John,

Tiffany and I will truly miss you. I'm so glad we both had the chance to spend time with you in Las Vegas on Thanksgiving weekend.



Even though we didn't know you well, the time spent with you will live with us forever.

I have few memories of John, because of the fact that I only got to see him every few years at a family reunion. The memories I do have, are good ones. John has touched more lives than he knows. He will be missed.

It's with heavy hearts that we say good-bye to our dear friend John. We know that he was doing what he loved when riding. We have to thank him for all the laughs, all the music and all the disagreements. We worked with him as a true professional for over ten years and will call him our friend for life.

We share the deep sorrow of John's passing. He was a great joy to be with at family gatherings. Never short of pranks, quick wit and humor, or deep concern for his family and friends, he will be greatly missed. We have many great memories of him we will treasure. Love, Ken and Linda

Our sincere sympathy to John's family and friends. We haven't seen John in a few years, but we so loved his laughter, wit, and genuine love of life. We thank God for having us know him and share a small part of his life. He was wonderful to work with and always a pleasure to be around. We'll miss you John.

My daughter, Nicole, was the wittness to John's accident. She is a Christian and prayed for John as he entered heaven. Please know that he wasn't alone.
