Walter Dennis Morgan, aged 81, of
Brookfield, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on January 3, 2026. Born on September 13, 1944, in La Paz, Bolivia, Walter was a man of exceptional intellect and spirit, whose life journey was as diverse and enriching as his international career.
Walter's devotion to his beloved wife, Darlene Morgan, was unmistakable. Their marriage was a testament to love and partnership, having celebrated 46 years of unity. His family includes children Wayne (MaryEllen), Michael, Jennifer, William, and Geoffrey (Melissa). He is survived by seven grandchildren Thomas, Brady, Cameron, Oscar, Olivia, Isaac and Henry. Despite a 9,000-mile distance, Walter also shared a special bond with his surviving brother, William (Jennet), cherishing their shared memories and experiences. He is further survived by nephews, nieces, and cousins in addition to his two loving miniature pinschers, Suzy and Punkin. Walter was preceded in death by his par-ents, William Dennis Morgan & Clara Sandy Morgan (née Klein) and dear brother, Eduardo, his in-laws Joe and Nancy Wickie, brother in-laws David and Christine (wife) and Harry and Jane (wife) Woller.
An alumnus of the Camborne School of Mines in Cornwall, England, Walter's education laid the groundwork for his career. As a Director of Global Sales, he left an enduring mark on the industry, traveling internationally and becoming a respected figure in the sale of large mining equipment. Later, he transitioned to selling surface treating equipment to manufacturers worldwide. He also had a successful career as a realtor in the Milwaukee area. His colleagues revered him not only for his professional acumen but also for his ability to connect with people across cultures, facilitated by his fluency in six languages.
Walter's Christian faith was the cornerstone of his life as a long-time parishioner at St. John Vianney. His interest in traveling and visiting different Catholic churches around the world was not only a reflection of his religious devotion but also his appreciation for cultural diversity and architectural beauty. He often shared stories of the magnificent churches he had visited and the sense of peace they brought him.
Beyond his professional and spiritual pursuits, Walter was a man who found joy in the simplicities of life. Reading was a passion that allowed him to traverse worlds and times, while boating provided him moments of tranquility and reflection. However, it was the time spent with his family that he cherished the most. Whether it was a quiet evening at home or a grand family celebration, Walter's presence was always enveloping and sincere.
Those who had the privilege of knowing Walter would describe him as faith-filled, loving, and thoughtful. His actions were guided by his deep-seated beliefs, and his love for his family and friends was evident in everything he did. Walter's legacy is one of love, faith, and integrity, and it will continue to live on through the many lives he touched.
Walter's passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who loved him, yet they take solace in the memories of his re-markable life. He will be profoundly missed but remembered fondly for his gentle strength, compassionate heart, and unwavering faith. Walter Dennis Morgan's journey on earth has concluded, but his story will be recounted with admiration for generations to come.
The family would like to extend special thanks to Waukesha Memorial Hospital and Froedtert Hospital and their staff for the exceptional level of care they gave Walter during his final days.
Visitation will take place on Wednesday January 21, 2026, from 9:00 AM until time of Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 AM at ST JOHN VIANNEY CATHOLIC CHURCH, 1755 N. Calhoun Rd,
