Patrick Michael Morgan, a kind-hearted and dedicated man, passed away on June 17, 2023, at the age of 77. Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, on January 9th, 1946, he was the son of Aubrey Kenneth Hill and Edna Josephine Hurt. Patrick's life was defined by his commitment to his family, his distinguished military service, and his successful career in the swimming pool industry.

His excellence as a salesman was acknowledged with multiple national salesman of the year awards.

However, Patrick's true legacy lies not in his military service or professional accomplishments, but in the love and devotion he shared with his family. He was a loving husband to his beloved wife of 55 years, Joyce Ann Love Morgan, and a dedicated father to his children, Krista Kaye Finley (Jason) and Michael Steven Morgan (Emily). He embraced his role as a papaw with joy and affection, cherishing every moment spent with his four grandchildren, Ann, Kate, Matthew, and Abigail.
