Paul W. Morgan
August 30, 1925 – May 13, 2021
At sunrise Thursday, May 13, 2021,
Paul W. Morgan, loving husband, friend,
and father, grandfather, and great-
grandfather, died at age 95.
Paul was born in Tillamook to Paul and
Pauline Morgan. He was the youngest
of four siblings who all preceded him
in death, his caring, strong-minded
sisters Jean, Ruth and Shirley. Paul grew
up in rural Pacific Northwest amidst a
loving family and heart for adventure
that fueled his entire life. He attended
but never finished at Enumclaw High
School, where he played center on
the football team and trumpet in the
band. Drafted into the military while
in high school, Paul served his country
in combat during World War II as a
U.S. Navy signalman aboard the attack
transport ship USS Deuel at battles of
Iwo Jima and Okinawa including 15 trips
across the Pacific repatriating soldiers
from the battlefield to the mainland.
He graduated from Washington State
University in criminal justice and later
PAUL W. MORGAN
from Oregon College of Education with
a master’s degree. His career included
law enforcement and over 30 years in
Oregon state parole and probation
followed by a medical records role at
Salem Hospital. Community service
was a long and strong interest which
included active memberships in the
Presbyterian Church, Boy Scouts and
Keizer Food Bank where he helped lead
its growth and reach as director in his
later years.
Paul had a passion for mountain
climbing and summited ten peaks in
the Cascades. He was known for his
big hands and heart as well as a kind
and compassionate spirit. He shared
freely of his love for classical music,
the outdoors, the stars, trains, and was
always known for enthusiastic hugs with
a firm squeeze at the end.
Paul is survived by his wife Nancy
Walker Morgan, sons Jeffrey and Randy
Morgan, Brian and Tim Walker, Ken and
Rick Erickson and daughters Margaret
Barzler and Karin Beard; many nieces,
nephews, grandchildren, and great
grandchildren. He is preceded in death
by his wife Lillian, wife Janet, and son
Jon Erickson.
A graveside service will be held
Monday, June 7 at Belcrest Memorial
Park in Salem, Ore. at 1 p.m. Memorials

Presbyterian Church, Keizer; Keizer
Community Food Bank or Marion Polk
