Donnie passed away on September 15, 2010. Donnie graduated from Sanford High School in 1941 and later attended Fort Lewis College in Durango and Adams State College in Alamosa. His early years were spent farming and ranching with his father, WR and later made his living as a professional sheep shearer that took him to Wyoming, Montana, Kansas and various places in Colorado. This was an important time for him and the other shearing crew members, one that he talked about with a twinkle in his eye and much fondness. Donnie ran sheep with his father and brothers in the San Luis Valley and in the high country above Platoro, which created some of his fondest memories of riding with the crew and fishing at Blue Lake and Red Lake. Don served his country from 1945-1946 having been kept home on a work deferment to help his father on the farm. Don always felt left behind while others got to serve during the critical war years. He was stationed in California for one year. On January 10, 1951, Don was married to Dorothy Jean King in Elk City, Okla. by his father, WR Morgan who was at that time a Bishop for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. From this union five children were born: Melissa Jean (John Blanton), Donald Chris (Pamela Wuckert), Pamela Dawn (Monte P. Roder), Michael King (Beverly Clayton), and David Block (Niesha Ledbetter). In 1956 Donnie and Dorothy along with their first three children were sealed for Time and All Eternity in the Mesa Arizona Temple. Michael and David were born under the Temple Covenants. He was a very active member of the LDS Church. Don and Dorothy made their home in Alamosa, Colorado for 49 years where she worked and he continued his farming until his retirement in 1980. Don always missed his farm. Donnie loved the outdoors and planted his garden every year including this one. He loved the beauty of the mountains, to fly airplanes and enjoyed building bird houses and loved to watch sunsets and watch the geese in the fall and the cranes in the spring. He was loved very much and his family we will miss his wonderful sense of humor and the twinkle in his eyes. Donnie is survived by his wife and five children and their spouses, ten grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He is also survived by one sister, Janice M. Franklin of Vacaville, Calif., two brothers Ray G. Morgan of Auburn, Wash. and Glenn J. Morgan of Leeds, Utah. He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers Dean Morgan of Manassa, Colo. and Grant Morgan of San Antonio, Texas.
