William Marion “W.M.” Morgan, age 83, of Rome, GA, passed away peacefully in the comfort of his home on Monday, August 26, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.
Born on October 22, 1940, W.M. was the son of the late Marion Lewis Morgan and Lillian Irene Bryan. He is also preceded in death by his first wife, Barbara Pledger Morgan and his brother Mack Morgan.
W.M. is survived by his loving wife, Cynthia Morgan; his two daughters, Tessa Morgan and Tammy Green; his two sons, Todd Morgan (Sabrina) and Tim Morgan (Gail); his stepchildren, Josh Pointer and Angie Montano (Ann); three brothers; 9 grandchildren; 3 step-grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren, 7 great-great grandchildren; his beloved cat, Karma; as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members.
W.M. enjoyed being outdoors, especially in the woods, and was an avid deer hunter and fisherman. He was a truck driver for 50 years and had a map of the United States practically etched onto his memory. Anytime someone got lost, no matter where they were, he always knew how to guide them home. He was a big fan of Elvis Presley and was a John Wayne fanatic. Most importantly though, he was kind. W.M was the kind of man who never met a stranger and would do anything for anybody in need. He had an enormous heart, and the world was a better place because he was in it. He is very loved by his friends and family and while he will be sorely missed, he will live on in their hearts forever.
