Stanley K. "Stan" Morgan

Stanley K. “Stan” Morgan, 73, of Dover, Ohio, and formerly of Lansing, Michigan passed away suddenly on Friday, July 3, 2020.

Stan was born on September 8, 1946. He was the son of the late Oren and Catharine Morgan. He graduated from Sexton High School in Lansing, Michigan, and continued his education at Michigan State University, graduating with a degree in journalism. Professionally, he was a newspaper writer for the Lansing State Journal, a social worker for the state of Michigan, and later became a published poet.

Stan was an avid Michigan State sports fan. He also enjoyed reading, movies, and talking about politics.

If he was reading this obituary, he would appreciate the fact that his utter disdain for both University of Michigan fans and Donald Trump was mentioned.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Judith Brown, who passed away in January of 2017. He was also preceded in death by his brother; Daniel Morgan, and his sister; Diane Brunette.

He leaves behind his son and daughter-in-law, Bill and Donna Morgan of New Philadelphia; and his beloved grandchildren, Spencer and Kayla Morgan both of New Philadelphia. Also surviving are his multiple nieces and nephews, whom he thought of often.

Cremation has been entrusted with the Toland-Herzig Funeral Home & Crematory in Dover.
