Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Chuck,

It's been a month since you left us. I think about you often. I have talked to Robin several times in the last couple of weeks. I know that Christmas was hard for her, and I know that your birthday is next week. That is going to be hard on her too. She misses you very much.
I'll continue to keep check on her.

Chuck,
I think about you and Billy often. I hope that your family has a pleasant Christmas knowing you are in a better place watching over them.

Merry Christmas 722.

Unkie Chuck,

We just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. We miss you so much. We were looking forward to watching Tyler and you together this year opening presents and playing with Chaz as usual. People ask us what we are doing Christmas night and like always I tell them we are going to Unkie's and Robin's like every year. Then I realize what I said and it makes me miss you more. Don't worry about your Christmas picture of James, Tyler and myself because I did order you and Robin one again this year. I am going to go see her, Jess, and Chaz and I will give it to her then. Even though we all can not be together tomorrow night you can bet we will be thinking of you. You will remain in our hearts forever. Tyler looks at your pictures and points at you and says "unk". Don't worry about him he will always know who you are and how much you loved him. I promise you this. Chuck, we love and miss you so much. Continue to watch over all of us. Look down on Robin and send her a big kiss and hug. She is a very strong woman, I think she got it from you. Merry Christmas Chuck!!

Hey Chuck, how are you doing up there? It seems like just the other day I was just a little girl sitting in your lap. We've known each other a very long time, since I was 6 years old. I can remember celebrating our birthdays together since they were only 1 day apart. We've spent many a good times together; Me, You, and Mom, it's hard to believe that we won't get the opportunity to anymore. Softball games, plays, graduations, you were there to watch and cheer me on, not to mention watch me grow up. When I got in trouble last year, you were the only person that didn't yell at me, and to think I was most scared to go and see you. You were always dreading me being 16 and driving that’s just a few weeks away, and your not here, it just doesn't feel right. Christmas won't be the same without you, no present for Mom to look for while you and I would watch and laugh. It's been very hard for me to let this go, you were like a Father to me, and I was like a Daughter to you. You, Mom, Chaz, and I were our own little family, now there's only 3 of us left. You would be so proud of me, I've tried my hardest to be strong, not only strong for me, but strong for Mom also. I'm taking care of her the best way that I know how. Chaz is doing just fine, he's here w/ us...I can tell he misses you a great deal, he watches for you at least once everyday. Chuck, I'm always going to love you like a Father and you're always going to be in my heart, and I will never forget you. And we will meet again one day, but until that day comes I know that you're going to watch down on all of us from Heaven.

Jessica Wagoner

Chuck I new you most of my life and I do feel blessed to have known you. I feel bad that I never got to repay you for all the help you have given to me in the past. If it weren't for you I would probably be on the other side of law enforcement. I will try to repay you by being the best deputy I can be and I look forward to seeing you in heaven. I know you and Billy will be guarding the gates to heaven. Enjoy your new assignment and we will all miss you.

Dep. Todd Sponcil
Jessamine Co Sheriff's Dept

Hey Cap,

Are we driving you nuts yet? I know you are fussing at us right now. I would give anything to hear your voice even if you were getting on us.
I pass your car every day to fuel up. I keep expecting to see you in it. I wish you were. Your family seems to be holding up. I saw your brother in the SO the other day. I am going to visit your father soon.
Sammy had surgery yesterday I haven't heard any news yet. I'll let you know.
Take care Old man.

I remember the first time I saw Chuck. He had stopped by too introduce himself at our shift's roll call. I'll never forget that smile. I felt an instant like and brotherhood for him that never diminished over the year's. How many time's has that brown cruiser of his sat in my front yard while he taught my little boy how to play baseball! Chuck was a cop. A real cop. He was a natural. A born policeman. Tough, mature, and honest. No matter what time of the day or night, it seemed like you heard him on the radio, or saw him cruising by while you were on a call, just checking on us. I remember seeing him on day at court after he had worked most of the night. I asked him, "Chuck when do you sleep!?" He cocked that little balding head of his, laughed and said "Heck, Benny, I washed and detailed my cruiser after I got off duty!" Believe me, Chuck had gut's. He wasn't scared of anything. I've never seen anything or anyone like him. I know I'll miss him forever. He was my buddy.

Unkie Chuck,
We miss you so much. It is all still so hard to believe. I know things did not turn out the way you would of wanted. I sit here thinking of all the good times we had together, playing cards, going to dinner, seeing movies, and just the 5 of us being together. I am so thankful for all the times Tyler and you spent together. I could see the love each of you had for one another in your eyes and Tylers. He loves you so much and we will always tell him how much you loved him. You will forever be his Unkie and we know you will continue to watch over him, for he was like the grandchild you never had. Your smile and laughter will remain with us for always. We will do our best to take care of Robin for you. We know how much you loved and cared for her. You would be so proud of how well she is handling all of this. Continue to give her the strength she needs to heal. Chaz still looks for you everyday. He will never forget you. We all love you and miss you.

Tina/James/Tyler Berryman

Chuck,

I had thought that doing the "last call" for Billy had
been the hardest thing I had ever done. Now only two short weeks later I have had to do your "last call", and now I know that that wasn't the hardest thing I would ever do, that this was. At your visitation Robin and I were talking
about the reptile call we sent you on. Both of us knew
you hated snakes and didn't want to send you on it. You,
as usual took the call with grace and dignity. You were
always there to see me through the bad times, whatever they
were, always telling me I would get through this. I will get through this too. I will keep an watchful eye on Robin.
I know you loved her, as she did you. It's too bad she never got to become Mrs. Morgan. Chuck, I will always miss you and Billy, you will never be forgotten. Thank you for being a part of my life .

Dispatcher Tammy Durham
Jessamine County 911

My thoughts and prayers are with the Morgan Family. Now there is another Captain to look down upon the men and women who live to serve and protect.

Future Police Officer

I will always remember the first time I FTO with you. You would not let me or anybody that came after me buy lunch while we were riding with you. That taught us that we were a family. I will also remember that you did not tell people we were "rookies" or "probies" you always said that this is a deputy. For a young guy, new on the street, that will never be forgotten.

To the loved ones and friends of CPT Morgan;
For the second time in three weeks, I was witness to the outpouring of love and respect Jessamine County and the law enforcement community shows when one of its own is taken in the line of duty. It was once again my priviledge to represent our agency on Saturday at the services. I hope somehow CPT Morgan is aware of the stirring tribute paid to him. If so, I know he would have been proud of his department, his family and his community. I am honored to have been part of this tribute in a very small way and wish the Morgan family God's everlasting love in the days and weeks ahead. May they find that He is "closer than a brother", even as He promised.

Richmond (KY) PD

Chuck,
I still can't believe what all has just gone on. It is like a bad dream and I just keep waiting to wake up.
It has been a little over 3 years since I worked with Nicholasville PD but, it seems like yesterday I was asking you if you could get me hubcaps for my cruiser. And of course you could always get what ever anybody needed. When I first went over to Versailles PD, I finally got a break from the question I would always get in Nicholasville...."Are you related to Chuck Morgan?" It almost never failed whether it was on a call or just out in public. When someone would see Morgan on my name plate, they would ask me that.
If it would bring you back....I would be glad for someone to ask me that every minute.
It was a pleasure knowing you and may God bless your family.
I know you and Billy are up there watching over us. You have probably already met Jason Cammick and when the hairs raise up on the back of my neck in a bad situation....I'll know it is all 3 of you watching my back.
Take care Chuck.....See you again someday.

Officer Bo Morgan
Versailles Police Department

The Community has suffered another sad day in such a short time. All your Law Enforcement brothers were praying for you Chuck. God has taken you to a better place, and all your troubles are gone. May peace be brought to the Jessamine County Sheriff's Department and your family. You and Billy will not be forgotten.

Patrolman Dean Hammond
Lexington Police

Chuck,

It is still hard for us to believe that you are gone, I can still see you standing in the doorway talking! You always tried to see the good in people regardless of what they had done or what law they had broke, you were always concerned and took the time to ask how they were doing. If there is a law enforcement agency in heaven I know you have already went to work, take care of everyone for us! Our prayers are with your family, we all miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some years ago, I worked night shift desk at a local motel. Two men got into a fight in the hallway. I had my FD radio and called dispatch to send officers. In a few short mins. Chuck ran in and never slowed down as I told him the guys were at the end of the hall. A city officer came on the radio and asked,"you ok mark" I answered,"I'm ok, Chuck's here." Though I thought little of it at the time, that simple statement takes on much greater significance now. Many of us felt we were ok anytime Chuck was there. You will be greatly missed Chuck

Soulful sounds of dual taps
climb gently up the slopes
the caisson rolls as bystanders
cover hearts and tear-filled eyes.

a riderless horse seems to mourn
as he sways along the path
an honor guard salutes and
rifles fire, awakening the sky.

A flag draped casket is gently
lowered to it's place of honor
and grace, I weep at a radio call
I do not question why.

We walk slowly, hesitant to leave
we look back over our pasts
have we given as much, would we?
This December morning dies.

Chuck,
I would always laugh with you when I worked for N.P.D. and talk about all the new police "toys" you had. I just wish I was able to tell you how much I respected you. Back then, even though I was city and you were county, I knew if you were near and I got into a situation you would be there. Thank you 722, I know you are in a much better place.
