He attended elementary and middle school in Clarksville, IN, but he graduated from Southern High School in Louisville where he played on the Football Team. Morgan attended Jefferson Community College, Rets Institute of Technology and The Barber Academy.

Morgan loved his children, and he was a great father and a very likable guy who had a host of friends. He was an avid Pittsburg Steelers Fan.
