Morgan Knott

Please help me in supporting the family of Morgan Knott who died on January 18, 2024. He would have turned 40 in May. Morgan and I became acquainted through his friendship with my late son Jordan, and we developed a close ‘second mom’/son relationship. He had been an important person in my life for nearly 10 years. I love him and I miss him. His death was unexpected and shocking … it has left his family and friends heartbroken and longing for what could have been.

Morgan had what some might call a colorful past and he didn’t often conform or “do right” according to societal standards. But the Morgan I knew, was a smart, loving, kind, compassionate and resilient young man. He loved his family, friends and daughter more than anything. In recent years, he began to examine his life choices and the outcomes of those choices. He was looking forward to continuing to transform his life and had come to the realization that his presence here on earth had far greater meaning than he had once believed. The birth of his daughter Bella was the catalyst for this revelation. Bella will be six years old in February. Bella, and his relationship with her was something he talked about every time we spoke; a bond he, Bella’s mother and grandmother fostered from a distance, and against all odds. Morgan was dedicated to nurturing, teaching and protecting his only child. He had committed to improving his life circumstances and to making decisions that served to better himself and the life he could provide for his daughter. He worked hard at doing the “next right thing.” I was proud of him and more importantly, he was proud of himself.

Sadly, Morgan died before he could fully realize and experience the life he wanted to live. He had so many plans and leaving his daughter Bella without her daddy, was of course not one of them.

I am grateful for whatever amount you are able to give to support Morgan’s family. There are several costs associated with his sudden death that his family are unable to cover. In addition, providing some relief to Bella’s mom by temporarily supplementing her income will be a great help as she adjusts to the loss of her child’s father.

With love and gratitude,

Cheryl
