Edward Franklin Morgan II was born Jan. 10, 1940, in Beaumont. In 1961, he co-founded Morgan Portable Buildings with his brother, Guy Morgan. Together, they pioneered the modular building industry, later adding spas and hot tubs. Morgan Buildings and Spas is now a well-known Dallas-based company with operations and customers worldwide.
Ed's passion and love for music drew him to produce and promote many new and upcoming recording artists. Artists whose careers he managed and/or influenced include Sammi Smith, John Anderson, Johnny and Edgar Winter, George Jones, Burl Boykin, J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper), and others. In recognition of his life-long commitment, he was inducted into the Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame and into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame as a top record producer.
During the 1970s, Ed owned and operated an exclusive hunting club near Junction, Texas, known as Executive Sportsman Association. Many Dallas-area business and banking executives enjoyed hunting there with Nashville artists over the years.
Ed suffered a physical disability in the late 70s, but that didn't keep him from enjoying and sharing his passion for hunting, fishing, music and business. He was preceeded in death by his parents, Amy Hebert Morgan and Guy Hicks Morgan of Woodville, Texas; his sister, JuAnne Morgan Burgess of Georgetown, and oldest son, Edward F. "Rusty" Morgan III.
Survivors: Sons, Rick Morgan and David Morgan of Rendon, and Michael Morgan of Garland; brothers, Hicks Morgan and Guy Morgan of Dallas; four grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The Rockabilly Hall of Fame has lost another legend. Ed was a strong supporter of the preservation of early rock and roll music. He helped many artists with their careers and will missed by performers and fans alike. -Bob Timmers
