Bradley James Morgan

Bradley James Morgan, 45, passed away January 20, 2024 in Des Moines, Iowa.

Brad was born to William and Victoria (Zika) Morgan on February 28, 1978 in Des Moines Iowa. Brad was passionate and creative, spending every moment he could creating worlds with his writing and scripting. While earning his Associate’s Degree from DMACC, he won awards as both writer and editor for the school newspaper, before going on to write and publish fiction such as the comic series Rigel Raine, a character he truly loved. Brad was a voracious reader, consuming more books than most could ever dream of. All this reading only helped to fuel and expand his passion for writing and creating.

For years he worked as the night auditor for the Marriott Hotel chain, a career he enjoyed not only for the work, but the many friendships he built with his co-workers over the years.

In his spare time, Brad enjoyed nothing more than playing some video games, spending time with his friends, and taking care of his precious kitty, Sylviana. Brad was larger than life, his voice and personality filling any room he entered. He loved his mother more than words can describe, and sacrificed anything he had to make sure she had what she needed. He will be missed by many.

He is survived by his mother, Victoria Zika; great aunt, Norma Jean Layton; and brother, Bryan Jensen.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Bill and Dorothy Zika.

A visitation will be held from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Monday, January 29, 2024 at Hamilton’s on Westown Parkway, 3601 Westown Parkway in West Des Moines, IA.
Private burial will be held later in the spring. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.HamiltonsFuneralHome.com.
