Christy, Marty, Nick & family,
Trista and I were both caught off guard when we just heard the news today. We have been blessed in this life that God gave us with many friends, coworkers and neighbors, but there is only one family that was there from the beginning to have taught us how to love one another, how to raise our first daughter, how to even take care of our first house (Thank goodness Morgan was always on hand to fix things!!). There is one family, even though we have not been close since we moved, that we always think of, that always makes us smile, that can have an impact the way that you have. There is a very special place in our heart for Morgan, Christy, Nick and Marty. I cannot imagine the empty space you are dealing with, but know that Morgan's impact on us and all others that he interacted with with live on. Our prayers, our love and our thoughts are with each of you.

I just heard the news of Morgans passing this past week. The time that I had to be around him on weekend softball tournaments was surely a pleasure. He always had a smile on his face and was carrying on some type of foolishness to bring a laugh or two to everyone else. It was easy to see the love he and his family had for each other. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you....

Hope you remember us. My Dad Irwin Rhodes hired you two to teach in Buras. He was so proud he discovered you two and brought you to Buras. John and I use to live in Ohio and would visit with Mr Tom Qurin. I wish I could give you a big hug. Lifting many prayers for you all today and forever. Taken way too young but he is home now.

Christy, Nick, Marty, It is with such sadness that I am posting this message to you. Tony, Mike, Nick and I just learned of Morgan's death Tuesday and are so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful person. Tony said that Morgan "was the kindest person he had ever met" and Mike's immediate response was "My coach! No way. He was so nice." And Nick, who informed me of his death, said I don't really want to tell you this, Mom, because it doesn't seem real." All of our thoughts and prayers are with you as you grieve. I hope the wonderful memories you gave to everyone who knew you help to see you through the coming days.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Assmann Family in the loss of Morgan. We all grew up together on Lockbourne Road. I so remember the boys in the neighborhood hitting their bikes in the morning and returning late before the street lights came on. I didn't know Morgan as an adult, but our childhood is one that I will never forget. RIP Morgan, Denise Ben Kevin and Steven we will be praying for the days ahead that the Lord give you peace and comfort as only he can.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I only met Morgan once (when I was 15) that I can remember but he was my dads best friend growing up and my godfather. I always heard crazy stories about him and my dad. He always sounded like such a fun & loving person and it's a shame I'll never get a chance to see him again. Sending prayers for your family through this tough time.

It's with a heavy heart tonight that I post this message to Nick, Marty and Christy. I just learned of the news this morning about Morgan. From the eastmoor pool days to later on in my life your Dad/Husband impacted me as a person. Morgan's sense of humor, unselfishness and passion for his family were qualities that I looked up to greatly! I'm pretty sure when I was a kid your Dad had me convinced for about 3 summers in a row that he played professional baseball for the Minnesota Twins:)
Later on in life I remember Morgan helping me paint lines on the Hartley football field late at night under the lights to have it ready for the Youth Football camp the first few years before there was turf. My family and I started the camp after my Dad passed away to honor his belief in keeping kids out of trouble by using sports. I know Morgan helped me because of my dad but also for the kids that were going to be impacted by the camp! His spirit was contagious and I will always be grateful that I had the honor of knowing him!
Continue to keep his spirit alive. May God Bless you!

To the Assmann family, my condolences on the passing of Morgan. I was truly blessed to have know him. I looked up to him more than you will ever know. Whether it was umpiring his games, or referring staff basketball games at GLHS in complete costumes, or just giving me a thumbs up from the railing at a Capital football game while I was officiating, he was always positive. I truly valued his friendship. Thank you Morgan for being such a great example of how one should love his family and friends.

We are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Coach Assman. He was our son's coach at Bishop Hartley, and kept the fun in baseball. He was deeply committed to his family and left absolutely no doubt that he loved them so very, very much. He extended that same care and compassion to each and every player and student that he came in contact with, including our son. He will be truly missed.

Christy and Family,
I had the privilege of having Morgan as my drafting teacher back in 1998-1999. As I'm sure you are aware, he was a great teacher and friend. One who made students feel like they were part of the gang. I never felt like I was in school when I was in his class, and though I learned a lot, I felt it was alright to let loose a little bit. Honestly, what I learned from him in those classes turned out to be my livelihood. It all started because someone suggested that I take this coolest teacher's drafting class.
He had a way of leveling with students versus the ever so common approach of you will respect my authority.
As my grandfather always said The more you respect a man, the more he respects you. Morgan was worthy of any man's respect and he certainly had mine.
Morgan was a heck of a lot of fun. I remember once helping him kidnap the attendance taker (Greg Kneeland) for the ransom of two dozen donuts and some chocolate milk. That would probably get us arrested these days but it was fun for everyone at the time. I always enjoyed witnessing the pranks he played on folks, and how ran/rolled around in elaborate costumes on Halloween.
I have no idea where I'd be had I not known him, but I'm certainly glad I did.
No one remembers those who follow all the rules. If his goal was to improve the lives of those around him he certainly succeeded in such. I will remember him fondly, always.
You and your family have my deepest sympathy and I'm very sorry for your loss.
