Rev. Samuel Lee Morgan
On November 20th, after a phone call to his wife telling her, “I’m headed home”, Rev. Samuel L. Morgan was relocated to the Kingdom of Heaven. Sam had a full life that was lived everyday being kingdom minded. He came to know the Lord at the age of 6 and faithfully served Him his entire life. Sam was a proud graduate of the University of Texas in Austin, and a man after God’s own heart. He took every opportunity to share the Gospel that he lived by. He served as a faithful pastor to many, led countless souls to Christ and shared the message of the Gospel in over half a dozen countries. Sam often used his carpentry abilities to provide for his family, and was a builder in both faith and life. Most recently Sam retired his hammer and began a carrier as a Chaplin for Marketplace Ministries.
Sam was faithful to the Lord, a tremendous leader and an encouraging counselor. He was an understanding, and loving: husband, father, papa, brother, son, uncle and friend. He was very humble and boasted only of his family and the Lord. He is survived by his wife of forty years, Rhonda Adkison Morgan, his twin sons, Aaron and Andrew Morgan, his daughter and, son in law Amanda and Adam Cloessner, two grandchildren Samantha and Bo, his mother Betty Morgan, his brother Mike Morgan and family, his two sisters, Gina Morgan and Elishea Smith and family, his brother in law, Randy Adkison and family, his mother in law Syble Adkison and countless friends. He was preceded in glory by his father, Rev. Ken Morgan, his father in law Rev. Bo Adkison, and his brother in law David E. Smith.
Sam left suddenly to be with the Lord, but was always prepared for his final day as he had no need for a plan “B”. Whether it was pastoring a church, preaching the gospel, or spending time with family, he did everything with excellence and was always looking to be “Jesus with skin on.” His life affected many and no words can describe the impact he had on us all. Although we mourn for our loss, we praise the Lord for the life of Sam and say we will miss you. In your own words Sam “you are free and clear to navigate.“
Visitation with the family was held from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. on Monday, November 24, 2014 at Waltrip Funeral Directors. His burial began at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 25 at Brookside Memorial Park. A memorial service was then celebrated at 2:00 p.m. at Encourager Church, 10950 Katy Freeway in Houston, 77043. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the family.
