Matthew Morgan, Sr.
June 07, 1980 — March 03, 2024
Matthew Morgan, Sr., 43, passed away Sunday, March 3, 2024, at Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines.
Matthew was born June 7, 1980, to Danny Simms and Cindy Terrell. He was an avid Dallas Cowboys, Iowa Hawkeyes, and Chicago Bulls fan. Matthew was a very good cook and was employed with Felix & Oscar’s for the past 25 years. He was the most sincere and genuine man you’d ever meet. He will be lovingly remembered as a goofy and stubborn man. Above all, Matthew loved his family and was a dedicated and caring father.
He is survived by his mother, Cindy (Mark) Terrell; children, Taylor Morgan and Matthew Morgan, Jr.; siblings, Mindy (Brad) Baker and Mike Simms; uncle, Tom Morgan; and other extended family and many friends.
Matthew was preceded in death by his father, Danny Simms; uncle, Larry Bagley; and his grandparents, Earl and Judith Morgan.
There will be a celebration of life at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be directed to the family.

When you're Mother and I got together you didn't like me. But as time went by we became closer, and closer, till we developed a great love for each other. I don't refer to you as my Stepson, you are my Son and I loved you like my own! When your health started to decline I without quarrel that you were to move in with your Mother and me. We wouldn't have had it any other way! With your Mom's health issues it gave me great pleasure to watch how you both took care of each other. In the final days you expressed that you did not want to be a burden. I put this to rest very quickly! You could never have been a burden Son, it was an honor to have you here with us and to help you as well as we could. As heartbroken and devastated as your Mother is right now I know that she has some peace in the fact that we were able to spend this precious time together as a family and that your final days were in her loving company. I do not say goodbye.
I say "See you later!" Until then I remember and savor the great times we shared! And always my Son I will love you! ❤

The lord gained another beautiful Angel. It was too soon for me to say goodbye to you bro but I know your no longer in pain and that gives me comfort. Life without you is going to be strange and hurt for a while but I know youre watching over me and my family and that gives me peace! I love you so much and will miss you more than I can ever express. Fly high Matty and say hi to dad for me!
