Memorials
Morgan was one of the sweetest people I have met. Never did he look down on
me because of my sexuality, he truly was supportive and there for it all. It rips
holes in my heart seeing morgan grow up from his freshman self to senior year
and not even be able to walk across the stage and say I did it mom. Morgan
was someone I could just text and he would be there for me, I always felt so
safe with him. Never will I forget the endless times he came over my house to
make sure I was good, or when we would get food and just talk for 3 hours and
not even realize. Morgan will always have a place in my heart as a friend,
brother, and someone I could open up to.
ISAIAH SNYPE, DECEMBER 5, 2021

We are so sad to hear of Morgan's passing. Greg and Jackie were our Flower
Mound neighbors for years, and Morgan often came nextdoor to play with our
sons, Patrick and Adam. Morgan was always so friendly, kind, and polite. We
always enjoyed him. He loved to talk about his Georgia Bulldog football team.
Morgan always had a ball in his hand and a jersey on his back. He was a
sweet kid. Greg, Jackie, and Ashley, you are in our prayers.
CHRIS, SUSAN, PATRICK, ADAM, AND ELIZABETH JOHNSON, DECEMBER 5, 2021

My heart absolutely breaks for all of you. May God carry you close to His heart
in the days ahead and into the future without this beautiful soul. And also
forever in His Love.

Morgan, you were my best friend, you always pushed for my best everyday no
matter how I felt that day, you would lift me up push to see my best. I love you
with all my heart. I’m really gonna miss you and I already do. You had such an
impact not only on me in baseball but as a person. Your smile illuminated a
room and you were the hardest working person I know and I am blessed to
have shared our moments together. I really miss you Morgan.

Querida Virginia, No tengo palabras que puedan acobijarte en estos momentos
tan difíciles. Cuando la Mona me informó sobre esta triste y trágica noticia, lo
único que le pedi a Dios es aceptación para ti y toda la familia. Papá Dios
sabe el por qué de todo lo que hace. Se que es imposible entender lo que ha
sucedido, pero tienes un ángel que velará por ti y todos los tuyos en el cielo.
Fuerza!
SABRINA THONNEY-SOTO, DECEMBER 5, 2021

Querida Familia nuestro ángel siempre estará entre nosotros con esa linda
sonrisa. Morgan seguirá teniendo una gran labor enseñarnos el camino de la
fortaleza y de La Paz, vamos a reunirnos todos como a él le gusta a honrar su
memoria. Vuela alto mi niño llévate mi bendición en tu corazón. Te amaremos
por siempre
MONICA DIAZ, DECEMBER 5, 2021

I will be in attendance. RIP.
KYREE, DECEMBER 5, 2021

En donde nunca nos olviden, jamás moriremos. Morgan está en cada uno de
los corazones de las personas que tuvieron la oportunidad de toparse en este
plano con el. Los Angeles como el, permanecen tan cerca y tan constante
como cada respiro. Un abrazo y mi corazón contigo y tu familia Virgi.. Mi
hueso está aquí para cuando lo necesites.
ANDREA VILLAMIZAR LOPEZ, DECEMBER 5, 2021

Greg and Jacqueline, I am so sorry for your loss. Words can not express the
sympathy I feel. I pray that God comforts you during this time and give you
peace.
BETHANY KRAMER, DECEMBER 5, 2021

Though I was never close to Morgan, he was a brother to us all a true angel of
heaven on earth. He set an example of kindness and respect throughout the
school, and to see the beat of the drum of our senior class pass it’s
heartbreaking to even think about it. I love Morgan like a brother and I feel in
my heart god has sent himself a true guardian angel. Thank you and god

bless.
AUSTIN MORENO, DECEMBER 4, 2021

To a beautiful soul that I had the honor of knowing. Thank you. I thank you for
loving my friends unconditionally, you never failed to bring a smile to their
face. You brought so much joy and happiness into our lives and I will eternally
be grateful. Your work ethic and dedication to your craft is an inspiration and a
reminder that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. I hope you know
how much we all cared for you because we knew how much you cared for us.
Thank you for teaching me how to love those around me. Rest easy my friend,
we will meet again.
REAGAN COLEMAN , DECEMBER 4, 2021

Morgan, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for showing me the way a
friend is supposed to treat you. Thank you for giving me the best memories
and jokes of all time. Please know you left the biggest impact on me. I live for
you! We all live for you. Forever in my heart.
MCKENZIE GALVAN, DECEMBER 4, 2021

Morgan was an amazing person, friend, and a brother to me and Blake. He
was as much apart of our family as his own. He had a second family to come
home to. My parents loved him, took care of him. He will be missed in our
family. Love you Morgan.
AUSTIN SAUNDERS, DECEMBER 4, 2021

Morgan was a friend, like a brother to me. He always did everything in his
power to put a smile on other's faces. He made everyone laugh all the time.
Morgan had such a kind and selfless heart. I miss you so much, rest easy.
TAYLOR SAUNDERS , DECEMBER 4, 2021

way. I miss you more than you know!
