Daniel Morgan Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Coastal Cremations and Funeral Care - Zephyrhills Chapel on Mar. 12, 2026.
Daniel Alexander Morgan, 64, passed away peacefully on March 9th, 2026, in Tampa, Florida, surrounded by his three loving daughters. Dan was born on March 19th , 1961 in Arkansas to Guy & Linda Morgan. In addition to being a hard-working and devoted father, he was also an avid fisherman and anyone fortunate enough to know him knew that he'd always "rather be fishing" and was always searching for the best spot to catch bass.

Dan was preceded in death by his partner and best friend, Cynthia Porter; his mother,Linda Morgan; and his former father-in-law, Norm Ferko. Dan's memory will live on through his daughters Amanda Isaacs (Chris), Brandi Hutchins (Daniel) Melissa Mattingly (Jason); his grandchildren Harper, Jameson, Haylee, Sebby, Mikey, Miles, Hunter, and Mila; his father, Guy; sister, Vaun Federoff (Jeff); brother, Mitchell and his former mother-in-law Carol Ferko. Dan wished to be celebrated rather than mourned.

In lieu of a memorial service, his daughters will celebrate his memory and love of fishing by scattering his ashes in one of his favorite fishing locations.

To honor Dan's wishes and favorite fishing buddy, Norm, the family asks that contributions be made in Dan's name to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's

Research or the Parkinson's Foundation.
