Donald Lee Morgan of Vero Beach went home to be with his Savior on July 24, 2021. Don was born on August 26, 1936 in Akron, Ohio and moved to Vero Beach in 1949. He graduated from Vero Beach High School in 1954.
While at Vero Beach High School Don excelled at sports, lettering in basketball, football, and track. In his sophomore year, he began dating a Fighting Indians cheerleader named Betty Jean Baucom and they became high school sweethearts. A few years later Don and Betty Jean married on February 4, 1955. To support a growing family, Don worked as the millwork manager at Crosby Building Supply. In 1965 he joined Riverfront Groves as general manager and worked there before retiring in 2010 after 45 years of service. Don attended First Church of God/Pathway Church for over 35 years and served in the Food Pantry and Greeting Ministries after he retired.
He is survived by his loving wife of over 66 years, Betty Jean, and his children Terre Morgan (Greg), David Morgan (Nikki) and Jeff Morgan (Eva). Don's grandchildren were the love of his life as he loved to tell them stories and make them laugh. He is survived by grandchildren Trevor Kettles, Michael Morgan, Jessica Diaz, Craig Morgan, Matthew Morgan, Jacob Morgan and Christopher Morgan and great grandchild Amelia Morgan.
A Celebration of Life service and reception is scheduled for August 8th at 3:00 PM at Pathway Church, 1105 58th Avenue in Vero Beach. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Master's Academy of Vero Beach Scholarship Fund.
