Harold “Scott” Morgan

1941 – 2024

Harold “Scott” Morgan, 82, loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, finished his mission here on earth surrounded by his loving family, in Orem, Utah, on January 22, 2024.

Scott was born September 27, 1941, in Price, Utah, to Edward Evan Morgan and Edna Marcella Morgan. He is the youngest of 5 children.

Scott spent most of his childhood in Sacramento, California. He moved to Provo, Utah during his high school years and attended Brigham Young High School, otherwise known as, “B Y High.” He had a great love for staying active. As a boy, he loved to box competitively. Later in high school and college he ran track. He was so proud to be a California state finalist in the 100-meter hurdle event. As his children, we loved hearing all about his sport stories.

Scott served in the Army National Guard. Following military service, he chose to serve a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Southern States Mission, later changed to the Texas Mission. While on his mission, he met his sweetheart, Terrie Lee Hendricks. They later met again while both going to Brigham Young University and fell in love.

Scott and Terrie were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on June 1, 1965. They were blessed with 5 children and lived in Utah, California and then Utah again. They settled in Orem, Utah. He received a Master’s degree in Educational Administration from BYU, a school he loved so much. He passed that love of BYU along to his children.

Scott, or better known by many, “Brother Morgan” was grateful for the opportunity to be employed as a Seminary teacher for The Church Educational System for many years. This brought him immense joy. He had such a love for teaching the gospel and was blessed to be able to have each one of his children in his class at some point.

Scott had great faith in his Savior and a powerful testimony of The Book of Mormon, living Prophets and Apostles, and the Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He lived his life in such a way that everyone that met him knew of his love for his Savior and his family. He dedicated his life to ministering and inviting others to come unto Christ.

Scott is survived by his eternal sweetheart, Terrie Morgan, children; Kimberli (Roger) Brown, Jennifer (Keldon) Brown, David (Marci) Morgan, Brian (Holly) Morgan, Heather (Trevor) Smith, sisters; Myrleen Lyon, and Kay (Gaylan) Gallacher, 17 grandchildren, and 9 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his sweet parents; Edward Morgan and Edna Morgan, brother; Kent (Sue) Morgan, sister; Marcia (Richard) Christiansen, grandson; Andrew Edward Brown.
