Steven Morgan Obituary

Morgan, Steven Lyle died on January 26, 2019. Born and raised in Salina, KS, Steve spent much of his life in Wichita. A thoughtful and charismatic man, Steve could command a conversation and had a knack for making one listen to his wise words. While accomplished in business and former President of Kansas Building Products and Salina Concrete Products, Steve's greatest pride was in his family - wife of 50 years, Barbara Morgan (nee Busse), daughter Christine Morgan and son Jeffrey. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lyle and Kathryn "Kay" Morgan. Steve was a cherished brother to Julie Ciesielski and Kimberly "Kim" Morgan and brother-in-law to Les Ciesielski and Judy Roth; dear father-in-law to Christopher "Chris" Arebalo and Carey Uxa Morgan; beloved grandfather of Kale Arebalo, Joseph Morgan and Baby Boy Morgan; uncle to Jessica Blubaugh, Jason Blubaugh, Kristen Walker (nee Ciesielski), and Brad Ciesielski. Steve will be remembered in a private family service. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Independent School. Downing & Lahey Mortuary - East Chapel.

Dear Barbara,
I just learned of Steve's death. I am heartbroken and a hole has opened in my heart. Steve was one of my best friends in high school and college. But you know that as you were there in college and after. I can see his smile, his way of phrasing and his deep voice. His way of pausing before he spoke, which commanded attention. As a high schooler, we went skiing with his dad Lyle running the boat. I finally connected at the last reunion HS and spoke to him at length and glad for the opportunity. But he left before the last day and all my efforts to contact him failed, my loss. My thoughts are with you. God's peace.
Best Regards,
Craig Roberts

Very sorry to hear about Steve. Condolences to Barb and family.
Many years ago in Salina we were neighbors and had many good times around the Morgan pool. Years later after their move to Wichita and our move back to Kansas (Manhattan), he would stop by for a visit when in town and I would make it a point to see him there.
He was a great guy and will be missed.

All of those good times in Salina seem like a lifetime ago and a blink at the same time. Please know all of you have been in our thoughts and on our hearts. With love, John & Peggy
