Daniel Morgan Obituary

MORGAN, DANIEL FRANCIS, died Friday morning, May 20 at the age of 21. A fatal car accident took him from us, together with one of his dearest friends. He was born August 25th, 1989, to parents Kathleen and Michael Morgan at Belleview Hospital in New York. The family later moved to Apopka, Florida, where he resided with his mother and brother, Patrick Morgan, until the time of his death. He graduated from Apopka High School with plans to continue his education at Valencia Community College in the fall. Daniel loved music and was an avid chess player. Daniel had a fantastic sense of humor, and always made his friends and family laugh. As was fitting with his love for electronics, Daniel had been previously employed at Wal-Mart in Altamonte Springs. Quick-witted and cheerful, Daniel brightened the lives of many. Daniel is survived by his mother; his brother; maternal grandmother Beatrice Seymour of Boonville, New York; paternal grandmother Magaret Morgan of Albany, New York; many aunts, uncles, and cousins, countless friends, and his beloved dog and companion Sagan. He is predeceased by his father Michael Morgan. Daniel's celebration of life service will be held on Wednesday, May 25, 2011, at 5 p.m. A greeting time will precede this for friends and family at 4 p.m. Both events will be held at the Baldwin-Fairchild Funeral Home, located at 601 North Park Avenue. As is fitting with Daniel's sense of generosity and compassion for his family and friends, donations may be sent to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in lieu of flowers. Information about such donations may be found on the St. Jude's website, or obtained by phone via 1-800-873-6983. Please call 321-439-3426 if additional information is needed.

We haven't forgot about you, its hard to believe you could be here one day and gone the next. No one wants people to die, no one expects it like this. I only pray your family can find closure and move on from this tragedy, because even though they may not see you anymore, you are still with them in their hearts and every day in their minds.

dear kathy and patrick: i met daniel through a mutual friend of ours and although we haven't spoken for a while now, daniel was the best sweetest person i knew. he always made me laugh and when i was told that he was gone i thought it's not fair. i will pray for you kathy because i cannot imagine the pain you must be going through and you patrick because losing a sibling must be like losing your other half. i'm so sorry that i'll never get to talk to daniel again and i know he's in heaven looking down. he will be missed.

To Daniel's family, I cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I met Daniel when I was in 11th grade, and ever since then he's been such a great friend to me. Always fun, always sweet, I could say so many things about him. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten; he'll always be alive in our hearts. Every time I go to church, I will light a candle for him and say a prayer. I know he's in Heaven playing beautiful music on his piano and watching over us until we see him again. God bless all of his family.

I never had the opportunity to meet Daniel's parents. I will write them a personal later as soon as possible. I want to thank them for bringing such a beautiful person into this world even though is was so short lived. Daniel was my friend and I treasured him greatly. My heart is broken and I only wish I could be there for his family. I don't know you personally, but, I love you all and I know that he's watching over us.

Daniels life was cut short and it doesn't seem fair but I'm so glad he got to have you for his mother while he was here on earth. You are an amazing mother and I love you very much. If I can ever do anything for you I would be honored to do so. God bless you both and may Daniel rest in peace.

Daniel,
I miss you dearly already. I just saw you a few days before you passed and its so hard to believe you were just standing right in front of me smiling and now youre gone. You were seriously like one of my first close friends after moving to apopka. I remember for my 15th birthday party all i wanted was a birthday kiss and you were the one who gave me one. You made my whole night. I dont think i ever met two kids as sweet as you and Charles. I'll never forget you and I'll love you forever.

I am so sorry for your loss Kathleen, Patrick and the rest of the family. I met Daniel through my daughter and we became fast friends. Mature beyond his years, he had a tremendous sense of humor and he made me laugh all the time. We stayed in touch after he graduated and it was an honor being a friend to him. I will miss his smile, his sweet personality and most of all miss watching him grow old. A bright light when out on May 20th and he will be dearly missed by many. If there is anything I can do, I live right around the corner and offer any help to you in this time of need.
