Ben J. Morgan, born on January 20, 1926, died peacefully on September 14, 2021. Ben loved life, family, farming, and his country. He proudly served his country in the US Navy during World War II on the USS Tingey.
An avid outdoorsman, Ben enjoyed sharing his love for hunting and the outdoors with his son, grandchildren, and friends.
In his later years, Ben could be found having coffee with friends at the round table at Country Kitchen or pursing his gift for making duck calls. He lived each day to the fullest and never stopped planning for the next project. Ben was a man with many talents and interests and was an inspiration to all that knew him.
Ben is survived by the love of his life, his sweetheart for 74 years, Odell Smith Morgan. They have two children, Renee Morgan Pembroke, Darrell (Tina) Morgan; five grandchildren, Bentley (Kristen) Pembroke, Morgan Cooley, Sophie Cooley, Ashley Morgan, Amber Morgan (Clint) Herring; and two great grandchildren, Kai Cooley and Bentley Pembroke.

Ben was an awesome man and I am glad I had the opportunity to know him.
Ben was one of the favorites of all the female employees at regions. As a runner he was in all the branches everyday and got to sample everybody’s pot lucks. A kind and gentile man who was a good influence on all of us.
So sorry for the passing of our friend Ben. Linda and I are praying and hoping that the Lord will ease the pain and suffering of Mr. Ben's loss. Praying for the Lord's blessing on all the Morgan family. In deepest sympathy we are. Don and Linda Fuller
