Edward A. Morgan

Edward "Ed" Morgan, age 60, died peacefully on Saturday, November 19th, 2022. The only son of Herbert and Jane Morgan of Myrtle Beach, SC, he was born in Elmer, NJ and raised in Pennsville, NJ. Ed attended Pennsville Community College and Rutgers University. Growing up, he enjoyed time on Maryland’s Eastern Shore with family and camping trips with his parents. Ed worked for over 30 years at DuPont, retiring in 2018. He is survived by his son, Shayle Morgan and Shayle's wife, Lissel; his daughter, Devon Morgan and her fiancé, Mike Trzcinski; his grandchildren: Ronan, Lilly and Adain; his companion of 18 years, Tracey Shivock, her children, Josh Shivock and Sarah Shivock ; and his dog, Buddy. Those are the bare facts of Ed’s life, but to everyone who knew him he was so much more. His colleagues enjoyed his quick wit and dry humor. Ed’s neighbors looked forward to his Halloween displays every year, almost as much as he enjoyed planning and executing them with Shayle and Devon. Ed’s family and friends appreciated him the most. He was well versed on many subjects: music, wine, food, beer, photography, and movies. Ed was a talented writer and musician. His love of music was passed on to his children. He liked nothing better than to play guitar with Shayle and sing along with Devon. The man couldn't carry a tune to save his life, but he sang anyway. When there were get-togethers at his home, the night generally ended one of two ways, talking around the table, or pulling out the guitar. When it came to food, Ed especially enjoyed experimenting with his smoker. He produced many a fine meal with that smoker. Ed discovered craft beer before it became cool, and enjoyed finding a unique beer and talking about it. He eventually turned that love of craft beer into a blog that he wrote for several years, earning him the title of "Celebrity Beer Blogger Ed" among friends. His camera was always at the ready. He enjoyed taking pictures of nature and when he was blogging, at beer events. Then there were the movies…Ed loved the superhero movies from the comics of his childhood. He could talk for hours about the characters, the cinematography, the storyline, and the departure from the original storyline. That was often the topic when everyone gathered around the table. Second to Halloween, he loved St. Patrick's Day. That was a day of Irish music, lamb stew, Guinness, and a viewing of "The Quiet Man". Ed was a man who brought a lot of life and laughter to those who knew him. There was not a dull moment when he existed in a room. He was loved and will be missed by so many. He often shared the quote by Dr. Who, “We’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?” Family and friends are invited to attend a visitation on Wednesday, November 23 from 5:30-7 PM at the Strano & Feeley Family Funeral Home, 635 Churchmans Road, Newark, DE 19702.
