Ray "Ray Ray" Eugene Morgan, age 63, a beloved resident of Dalton, Georgia, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 30, 2023, in the comfort of his home.
Born on Sept. 18, 1960, in Dalton, Ray was preceded in death by his father, Ray L. Morgan; his first wife, Lisa Ellis Morgan; and grandmothers, Lucy Morgan and Stella Bartenfeld, who cherished Ray.
Throughout his life, Ray dedicated his career as a machinist to Precision Tufting Components. However, it was in his leisure time that he truly shone. Ray had a passion for communication and was known by his CB radio handles, "Mudslinger" and "T-Bone." He reveled in the camaraderie of the airwaves. Additionally, Ray found solace and excitement in fishing and the open road on his cherished motorcycles.
Ray is survived by his loving wife, Beverly Dillard Morgan; daughter, Marisa Morgan; and his devoted mother, Jeanette Morgan. He was a cherished stepfather to Rodney (Tiffanie) Rogers, Emily Rogers, and Richard (Shannon) Rogers. Ray's legacy continues through his adoring grandchildren, Brynlee Morgan, Jayme Rogers, Hunter Rogers, Mason Rogers, Kayleigh Rogers, Serenity Rogers, Christopher Rogers, and William Rogers. He is also fondly remembered by his sisters, Dianne (T.J) Hardie, Darlene (Ricky) Guinn, and Karen (David) Montgomery, along with several nieces, nephews, cousins and special friends that he spoke with on the c.b. radio.
A service to honor and celebrate Ray's life will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 4, at 4 p.m. This gathering will be held at the chapel of Love Funeral Home, where Reverend Donald Cantrell and Reverend Gary Boyd will officiate. Following the service, Ray will find his eternal rest at United Memorial Gardens.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects and share their memories on Wednesday, Oct. 4, starting at 2 p.m. until the commencement of the service at 4 p.m. during the visitation period.
Ray's memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.
