More detail on this person: John Christopher Morgan, age 57, lost his 3 year battle with leukemia on Sunday, January 13, 2008. Chris, born on June 19, 1950, was the oldest of seven brothers and sisters and exemplified the consummate "big brother" as a responsible, hardworking, intelligent and courageous man. Growing up in Ferguson, he attended Saint Thomas Aquinas High School and after graduating in 1968, enlisted in the Army. During his tour in Viet Nam, Chris flew helicopter rescue missions, saving the lives of his fellow soldiers and earning two Distinguished Flying Crosses and two Bronze Stars. After returning home, Chris entered the Police Academy and worked for the Ferguson Police Department for 29 years. He later worked for the Florissant Police Department, which honored him in procession at his funeral. Son of John and Nancy Morgan, Chris is survived by his wife Terri, his children Ryan Christy, Jeffrey Brenna and Meghan Morgan, and his grandchildren Trevor, Drew and Sydney Morgan. He will also be deeply missed by his brothers Jim, Tom (Connie) and Dan Morgan (Rachel) and his sisters Liz McEvoy (Jerry), Maggie Medjuck (Bruce), Carol Hahn (Bob), and Lucy Framiglio (John). His devoted in-laws, Joyce and Howard, former wife Sharon, friends, co-workers and rather large extended family of aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces will also attended services in his honor.
