Dr. Morgan was my cardiologist from birth until 18. He took every care to insure that I remained healthy. I was honored to have him as my doctor. My condolences to your family. 

I owe life to this man along with Dr Jesse Adams .  Godspeed Dr Morgan!

I was so sad to hear of the passing of Dr. Morgan. My condolences to his family and friends. I became his patient around 1974, when I was 4 years old. He was my cardiologist till my late teens. I always admired his poise and dedication to his work. I am sure I wouldn't be here now, if not for him. It was an honor to know him.

My childhood cardiologist of 13 years. He was the best doctor I ever had. He also went to church with my grandfather. I loved his dry sense of humor. He had a great personality.

Dr Morgan came to China to work with me and the medical team from Chinese Agape Foundation in 2003 at Wuhan China. We worked together and stayed at the same hotel for about two weeks. He taught me a lot about pediatric cardiology. I remembered he did not like Chinese food but preferred to eat oat meal with cinnamon most of the time. I started to like oat meal later.  He had helped many poor children in China with congenital heart disease--I translated the echo reports and sent to him for him to evaluate. In the year of 2005, I got to visit him in the US and stayed few days in his home. He later came to see us in Nashville when our daughter was born in 2006. He was such a good doctor and truly a godly man. Miss him. Joshua Zhai from China.

I would like to share my condolences to Donna and the family. I met Doctor Morgan and Donna at Memorial Hospital Cardio Rehab  Such nice people. So sorry to hear of his passing. Don Brown



I would like to extended my deepest and most sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Morgan.  He had been my cardiologist since I was 3 months old (in 1978) until I was almost 23 years old (in 2001) due to the fact that he was retiring. Today I am 41 years old and still alive because of him and able to say how grateful I and my family are to have had this wonderful, passionate, and professional doctor in our lives to see after me. I went through two open heart surgeries while in his care. When he gave me and my parents the news that the first surgery had failed, no one was more upset than him because he knew how much it meant to me and my family. The patience he had for me as a child from the stories my parents tell me was rare. He has helped so many other children besides me but I am thankful he was my doctor.  Dr. Morgan thank you for everything you have done for me and my family. You will be greatly missed.  Below is a picture of the last time I saw Dr. Morgan as my Doctor on July 27, 2001.

I first met John when I was in nursing school at Erlanger. I later worked in newborn nursery and made rounds with him. Then later when our children were all at Boyd Buchanan school, I met Donna and her sweet mother. John was active in World Bible School, and later when web-based teaching began, he encouraged and helped me start teaching on the internet. I'm still at it after 18 years!
Susan, I'm so glad I got to meet Glenn today. You got a good one! Love to Donna and all.

We share your grief on the loss of this great man.  He saved our son's life when he was born with heart issues.  Our son John is now 36 years old and married with 3 children.  We thank God for giving Dr. Morgan the skills and compassion he possessed.  He will be missed by many.  May God bless your family.

Sincerely,

Kevin & Jane Denver

Donna, we just learned this morning about John's death and wanted to send you and your family our love and sincere sympathy.  We've known the two of you since our time together at Lipscomb nearly sixty years ago.  John was the epitome of the character of the Christ whom He followed--"gentle and humble in heart."  He fought the good fight; he finished his race; he kept the faith; and now the crown of righteousness belongs to him because of his trust in the faithfulness of a gracious and forgiving God.      

I'm sure many nurses feel the same way as I do. I enjoyed working with Dr. Morgan at Children's. I'm sad to hear of his passing. My prayers are with his family.

Donna and family, I am so sorry for your loss.  Donna and Dr. Morgan always made me feel so welcome at Brainerd.  I attended church with you from 1998 until I moved away in 2006.  You were both always so kind and thoughtful, and as a single, young black woman professional working in the area, I was so happy to have the support of the church. You were both wonderful role models. I know that John is in Heaven now. There is not a doubt in my mind.  Sending you love and good wishes.    Lisa

He was our sons doctor from the day he was born until he was an adult. We could not have done it without him.He truly cared about his patients.Sorry for your loss.

Donna, we are so sorry for your loss. Praying for Gods support at this difficult time. Remembering you with love, Jim & Herlinda




Introduced to the Morgan's by my now deceased husband, Clay Henderson, who graduated from Lipscomb in 1960. His association with them at Lipscomb and his love for hometown  Chattanooga added to their Christian bond. I am now privileged to continue that friendship with their daughter, Susan and her family in Meridianville, Alabama. Thankful for the life of service of Dr. Morgan! Praying for comfort for the family as they grieve their loss while they rejoice that their loved one is at home with our Heavenly Father
