LINWOOD 'BLACKIE' MORGAN

June 15, 1937 – February 20, 2022

Linwood Morgan, affectionately known as Blackie, passed away at the age of 84 on Sunday, February 20, 2022, at his home surrounded by his loving family.

Blackie was born on June 15, 1937 in Morgan City where he was raised. He was a veteran of the United States Army having served during peacetime in Germany. Following his time in the Army, Blackie returned to his first love, being on the water. He spent his entire life working on the water, first as a boat captain, but mostly as a commercial fisherman. To say he had a love of the outdoors was a huge understatement. Blackie also had a special place in his heart for children, having raised many children as though they were own. He also enjoyed hunting and loved to cook, which he was really good at. He was an active and supportive member of his church, Bayou Vista Community Fellowship. His presence on this side of eternity will be deeply missed by so many whose lives he touched.

His memory will forever be cherished in the hearts of his wife, Rose Maggert Morgan; 11 children, Gary Morgan, Jimmy Folks, Tonia Gaspard and husband Aaron, Tammy Wilson, Linwood “Woody” Morgan II and wife Jamie, Kevin Morgan and wife Misty, Dan Hanks and wife Vicky, Darci Graham, Denise Lassere, Darren Graham and wife Jessica, and Dustin Graham and wife Nicole; 35 grandchildren, a host of great grandchildren; and four siblings, Harvey Morgan and wife Barbara, Winston Morgan and fiancé Gwen, Sherry Morgan, and Randolph Morgan and wife Mona.

He was preceded in death by three children, Ramona Morgan Gregory, Mark Morgan, and Lenny Paul Folks; his parents, George Henry Morgan and Edna Rosalee Arbough Morgan; and three siblings, Lily Mae Stephens, Eddie Morgan, and Archie Morgan.

Memorial services will be held at 5:00 p.m. Sunday, March 6, 2022, at Bayou Vista Community Fellowship with a gathering of family and friends beginning at 3:30 p.m. Rev. Brian Head and Rev. Clyde Crappell will conduct the service.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that contributions be made to Bayou Vista Community Fellowship, 1316 Burke Place, Morgan City, LA 70380, marked for the Peruvian Orphanage Ministry, which Blackie held so close in his heart.
