Robert James Morgan, "Bob", age 39, of Petoskey, died at McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital in Cheboygan on Saturday July 23, 2022. Bob was born in San Diego, California on February 13, 1983 and raised in Petoskey where he graduated from Petoskey High School.
Born with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, Bob overcame so much in his life, far exceeding what doctors ever expected. He believed in himself wholeheartedly and never thought of himself as disabled. Set-backs and medical hurdles were met with his positive attitude and a big Bob smile. It was that wonderful smile, along with Bob's outgoing personality, that left a lasting impression on people. With his friendly disposition, Bob never met a stranger and never forgot a name. He seemed to know everyone and everyone knew him.
Bob's passion was money. He always wanted to work at a bank and enjoyed anything to do with cash, including coin collecting and watching his favorite game shows, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, and Storage Wars. He was an avid video gamer, enjoyed the outdoors, but most of all, loved his family. He enjoyed family get-togethers and especially cherished the special bond shared with his late grandpa, Billie Morgan. They talked on the phone several times a day, always teasing each other and joking.
Bob's social outgoing personality, his ability to easily bond with others, and his loving nature will be sadly missed by his mother, Dianne Morgan of Petoskey; grandmother, Donna Morgan of Onaway; uncle, Mike (Donna) Morgan of Alpena; aunts, Sue (Jon) Nelson of Onaway and Janet (Kevin) Horrocks of Avon, Ohio; as well as many cousins, extended family, and friends. Bob was preceded in death by his grandfather, Elder Billie Morgan as well as his aunt and uncle, Darlene and Gerald Hart.
Bob will be honored by his family privately. Those planning an expression of sympathy please consider a donation in memory of Bob to his mother to help with final expenses. Cremation arrangements in care of Chagnon Funeral Home.
