Obituary For Mr Walter Morgan, Jr.

Brother Walter Morgan, Jr received the gift of life on May 9, 1949, in Marianna, FL to the late Walter and Annie Marie Morgan.

Walter accepted Christ at an early age and was affiliated with the former Tabernacle Church of Christ Written in Heaven.

Walter was educated in the Jackson County public school system and Chipola College. He served in the United States Air Force and was a Vietnam Veteran. After his tour of duty, he received an Honorable Discharge upon returning to civilian life.

Walter was joined in holy matrimony to Karen Tensley Morgan in 1989. This union was blessed with many treasured memories that will be cherished a lifetime.

After returning home from his tour of duty and building his own life, Walter pursued various occupations, to include highway construction, facility maintenance, food service, and lawn maintenance. One of his favorite passions was raising hogs on the farm, in which he did for several years.

On Monday, April 10, 2023, while at home, Walter transitioned from this earthly walk of life. God saw that he was tired and whispered, "Come to Me".
