Gerald Dillard Morgan

Gerald Dillard Morgan, 81, of Lowell, Ark., and longtime resident of Rogers, Ark., died Nov. 16, 2016. He was born July 25, 1935, in Jacket, Mo., to Dillard Taft Morgan and Dorothy Evelyn Arnold Morgan.

Although his work-life began as an over-the-road truck driver, he began his 27-year career at First Brands when they opened the Glad factory to be home with his family. Everyone who knew him, quickly came to love him. He enjoyed camping along the bank while fishing for catfish and repairing broken equipment. But he loved being with his family, his dogs and crafting things in his wood shop.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife of more than 45 years, Marcia Lynn Morgan; his son, Daniel Morgan; and his brothers, Donnie and Jerry Dale Morgan.

Survivors include his daughters, Carmen Andreasen (Danny) of Lowell, Debbie Clark of Dallas, Texas, and Rhonda Bridenstine (Allen) of Anderson, Mo.; his sons, Kendall Morgan (Kelly) of Cave Springs, Ark., and Wayne Morgan (Micah) of Rogers; his sisters, June Fletcher (Junior) of Jacket, Mo., Margie Howell (Bill) and Kay Dean (Gene), all of Pea Ridge, Ark.; nine grandchildren; six greatgrandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews and dear friends.
