Richard "Ricky"

Morgan, IV

Richard “Ricky” Morgan was called to eternal rest on November 3, 2026, at Centra Lynchburg General Hospital.

He was born on October 4, 1960, to Richard Morgan, III and Willie Ann Clark Morgan.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Richard Morgan, III and Willie Ann Clark Morgan; his brother, Earl Morgan; his sister, Nancy J. Morgan-Long; his brother-in-law, Tony Long; his nephew, Momoh Thullah; his paternal grandparents, Richard Morgan, Jr. and Isabel Penn Morgan; his maternal grandparents, Sherman Clark and Libby Samantha Toliver Clark; and several paternal and maternal aunts and uncles.

Ricky leaves behind many loved ones to cherish his memory.

He is survived by his three sisters: Patricia (James) Thullah, Virginia Laverne Morgan, and Libby Juanita Morgan; and his two uncles, Harvey Morgan and Robert (Bob) Loving.

He is also survived by his nieces and nephews: Consuelo (Kerry), Shaneaka (JC), Lashauna, Erica (Duane), Garland (Emily), Lansana (Kiearna), Kanesha, Samara, Kaprina, and Jesshay; and a host of other relatives and friends.

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to his niece, Shaneaka, and his cousin, Ryan, for the love, dedication, and compassionate care they provided to Ricky during his last years. Their unwavering support brought comfort to him and his family.

Ricky joined St. Mary Baptist Church. Later in life, he joined St. James Baptist Church through Christian Experience, where he shared his love of music by singing in the choir.

Ricky would always stand on the Word and would testify that “all you need to do is have faith the size of a mustard seed.”

Ricky worked at R.H. Feagans in Lynchburg and at ConAgra in Crozet. He also held various other jobs until his health declined.

Ricky was blessed with a generous and kind heart and an easygoing personality. He never met a stranger and found joy in life’s simple pleasures. Back in the day, Ricky was known as a dancing machine. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends, laughing and joking.

The family would like to express its sincere appreciation to the dedicated staff of Centra Lynchburg General Hospital in Lynchburg, Virginia, and the staff at Heritage Hall—Dillwyn in Dillwyn, Virginia, for the care and compassion they provided to Ricky.

Though Ricky’s earthly journey has come to an end, his love and the memories he leaves behind will remain in the hearts of those who knew him. As we mourn his passing, we find comfort in God’s promise of eternal peace and the blessed hope of being reunited one day. May his soul rest in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father, where there is no more pain or sorrow, only everlasting peace.
