Michael J. Morgan Jr., 42, passed away on July 2 2025 in Mesa, AZ. He was a beloved son, grandson, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.
He was born August 25, 1982 in Bitburg AB, Germany to two loving parents, Mike and Jeanette Morgan where he began his life as an Air Force brat. He then moved to Alamogordo, New Mexico where he learned to walk and talk, and just like that he was off and running! You couldn't keep up with that little boy!
Michael then moved to Arizona where he was baptized at the family church, St. Maria Goretti in Scottsdale, AZ. It was a special day to welcome Michael into the Catholic church as a child of God! As Michael grew into his toddler years he loved playing with planes, trains, cars, and fire trucks. He loved playing T ball and riding his Big Wheel. He even took up Karate. He was like a ball of energy and love!
Air Force life took Michael to Keflavik, Iceland where he experienced an adventure of a lifetime. He got to see geysers, glaciers, magnificent waterfalls, black sand beaches, seals, whales, and all sorts of neat stuff. He experienced snow for the first time and he loved sliding his brother David around in a sleigh. He started 1st grade at A.T. Mahon Elementary School. He loved playing Soccer and T-Ball.
Michael then moved to Tucson, AZ and attended Quail Run Elementary School and Tortolita Middle School. He attended St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church where he took his First Holy Communion. Michael enjoyed playing Little League baseball when his team won the Tucson Little League district Championship. He was involved in Cub Scouts then moved on to the Boy Scouts of America Catalina Council Troop 216 and obtained the rank of Star Scout.
Life took Michael to Mesa, AZ where he attended Shepard Jr. Highschool where he took up playing the clarinet in Band. He then attended Red Mountain High School where he took up welding and automotive classes. He graduated in 2001. He enjoyed playing computer games and chess. He loved his pets especially cats and dogs.
After High School Michael attended RSI HVAC school in Phoenix, AZ and began his career in the HVAC industry. He worked for various HVAC companies including Chas Roberts, Collins Comfort Masters and most recently Alliance Plumbing & AC. He was a hard worker and a highly respected HVAC technician. If nobody else could fix it Michael could!
Michael was proud of his new Honda Civic Si he had just purchased. He enjoyed RC cars and boats, collected coins and watches where he would work on and repair them. He was a mechanical genius. He enjoyed hanging out with his friends and family and was just a chill kind of guy. He will be dearly missed by all!
Michael is survived by his parents Mike and Jeanette Morgan, and brother David (Katie) Morgan, Nephews Mason, Cole and Neice Kayley, and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
