"Sam" was born on November 29, 1919 and left his earthly home for his heavenly 
home on May 20, 2014. He was preceded in death by his father, Jack Henry Morgan; 
his mother, Beulah Francis Morgan; a brother, Frank Morgan; and two sisters, 
Pearl Morgan Sharpe, and Estelle Morgan Taylor. He is survived by his wife of 68 
years, Loyce Fallin Morgan; two sons, James Gregory Morgan and wife, Jan of 
Dallas, Texas; Kenneth Wayne Morgan, and wife, Rhonda of Pensacola, Florida; one 
daughter, Melinda Morgan McMahone and husband, Don of Ruston, Louisiana. He was 
"Papaw Sam" to five grandchildren; Molly McMahone Stone, and husband, Brandon of 
Montgomery, Alabama; Emily Morgan of Pensacola, Florida; Lauren Morgan of 
Dallas, Texas; Colby Morgan of Dallas, Texas; Meagan McMahone Jenkins, and 
husband, Dustin of Lexington, South Carolina; step grandson Lawrence Lane of 
Pensacola, Florida; and two great granddaughters; Audrey Melinda Stone and Anna 
Morgan Stone of Montgomery, Alabama. He is also survived by one sister, Flora 
Morgan Melton, and one brother, Jack Henry Morgan, Jr. and numerous nieces and 
nephews who loved their "Uncle Sammy".

Sam was born in Rayville, Louisiana, the oldest son of a farming family that 
settled in Oak Grove, Louisiana. After graduating from high school he joined the 
United States Marine Corps, serving his country in Iceland, the Pacific during 
World War II, and again in Korea. After 20 years of service in the USMC he 
retired from military service and moved his family to Minden, Louisiana. Sam and 
his family became some of the earliest members of the newly established Emmanuel 
Baptist Church in Minden. He served there as trustee, and church treasurer for 
many years. After his retirement from Security at the Louisiana Army Ammunition 
Plant, he and Loyce enjoyed happy years doing the things they loved; serving in 
their church, working in the yard, hunting and fishing with friends, and 
enjoying visits with their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He 
will be remembered by his family as a loving Daddy and Papaw who spoke much 
wisdom and wit with few words.

Serving as pall bearers for the service will be Colby Morgan, Brandon Stone, 
Dustin Jenkins, Lawrence Lane, Glenn Fallin, and Scott Leachman.

Our family is so grateful for the care and concern shown to Dad from Dr. Ben 
Grigsby, Nurse Allie Lary, Hospice Compassus, and his special care givers, Mrs. 
Ketha Morrow and David Morrow.
