Kenneth Andrew Morgan
11/4/1955 to 12/4/2023
Ken passed away unexpectedly this December in Manitowoc, WI. He had lived in many locations across America, but found his hometown of Manitowoc the best place to retire.
He was a 1973 graduate of Lincoln High School, Manitowoc where he participated in theater and football, and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse where he studied Theater. He also studied acting at the Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York.
He will be remembered for his love of the theater, and for writing and producing some interesting and sometimes risqué plays. He also embraced his hometown and loved to visit the local diners such as Late's and Bud Willman's Lunch. Ken also had strong political views, seeing himself as a Libertarian, and was always willing to discuss current events. Ken had an amazing knowledge of history, especially WWII, and could recount specifics of battles, tactics and people. He loved and was very proud of his three nieces and five nephews.
He is survived by his sisters Jane Giliberti, Carol Phillips (Jed) and Peggy Strimple (Larry) and brothers Tom Morgan (Melissa) and Dan Morgan (Katie). He was preceded in death by his parents Tom and Joanne Morgan, and brother in-law John Giliberti.
There are no services planned. If you wish, please donate to the charity of your choice in his name.
