Thomas Morgan Obituary
Crestwood - 77, passed away on Friday, August 21st, 2020. Born 2/22/1943, Tom had been an Oldham County resident since 1975. A graduate of Waggener High School, Lindsey Wilson Collège and Western Ky University, Tom devoted most of his 27 year Career in education to Louisville Eastern High School. An assistant principal known to all affectionately as "Mr. Morgan", Tom touched all who knew him. Nowhere was he happier than being outside on the lake, in his boat, or hiking on a trail. A prolific bass fisherman, he lived a life as large as some of the fishing tales he told. He has been an active member of Mt. Tabor United Methodist Church since 1975. His greatest source of pride, upon which he continuously bragged, was his family. Tom is preceded in death by his parents, the late Elmer and Lucille Morgan of Louisville. He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Janice Branstetter Morgan; Sons Matt (Kelli) and Jason (Emilee); Brother Pat (Linda) and Sister Judy McGarvey (John); Grand-daughters Lili, Maia, Madison and Camryn; as well as many beloved nephews and nieces; and many great and treasured friends. He enriched the lives of all who knew him, and though his walk here with us has ended, we find comfort knowing he is held in the arms of our Heavenly Father. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, August 26th from 10 AM- 2PM at Stoess Funeral home in Crestwood with Funeral service to begin at 2PM. Expressions of sympathy can be made to Mt. Tabor United Methodist Church and Parkinson's Foundation.

God brought a good one home this past Friday. Tom Morgan 's health maladies that plagued him over the past few years were eliminated as he and the Lord touched hands. Those whom Tom left behind are comforted that they, too, will join Tom somewhere down the road at a time chosen by God. Our sympathy goes out to Tom's family to include that grand lady who is his wife, Jan, as well as his two sons and their wives, four grandchildren and his brother and sister.
You did good, Tom...we will miss you...rest in peace!

Mr. Morgan made a great impact on my life at EHS. After moving to Louisville in 7th grade, he was my Core teacher and made my transition to a new school during very vulnerable years, very easy. He had great humor, always making going to school worth it. He and his wife even intrusted me to babysit the boys on occasion. I will truly miss this man. My condolences to his family.

I was so deeply sorry to hear Tommy had passed away. All the wonderful memories of our times together in Louisville, and at the lake, came flooding back. I loved him like a big brother and will miss his stories and great laugh. Our love ,and condolences, to Jan and all the family. We love you so very much.
