Joseph Morgan Obituary
November 21, 1935 - April 20, 2025
Joe Morgan exited stage left peacefully at home on April 20, 2025 at age 89. Born in Pineville, WV to Tonnie Garrimore & Sarah Winston Howard Morgan he attended Greenbrier Military School followed by West Virginia University. After completing Dental School at MCV in Richmond, VA he served in the US Air Force. He returned to Richmond after his service and put down his roots there. He built a long and respected career as a caring, dedicated dentist.
Joe Morgan was a true Renaissance man. Beyond his dentistry he was a gentleman farmer, a hunter, an artist, a musician, a wood carver, an athlete, a master gardener, a dog lover, a grill master and a bourbon connoisseur. He never met a person he didn't like and his warmth, kindness and good humor in all situations put everyone at ease and made him a delight to know.
He is survived by his wife of 67 years Mary Angela Morgan, his children Stephanie, Gary (Bronwyn), Rebecca, Karen (Mikal), a gaggle of grandchildren and great-grandchildren and by his great friend & protector James.
Spending his last two years comfortable and safe in the home he built and loved was made possible by the incredible team of caregivers that worked tirelessly and with immense love for our dad. Those caregivers are Victoria, Mucie, Vickie, Debbie and Yvette and it would not have been possible without all of them.
How lucky are we to have such an incredible father. He was a gift to everyone who knew and loved him. A Memorial Service will be held at Woody's Funeral Home-Atlee Chapel, 9271 Shady Grove Rd, Mechanicsville, VA 23116 on Friday, May 9, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers please donate to the animal rescue of your choice.

I spent many a 4th of July with Dr. and Mrs. Morgan. They would come celebrate with the Covingtons. He was the nicest man. They also came with us on our family trip....a cruise to Alaska. Both so kind.
