Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength; They shall
Mount up with wings like eagles.
They shall run and not be weary.
They shall walk and not faint.
David DeSway Penn-Morgan was born the oldest child to
the parents of R. D. Morgan and Latrice Hines Jones on
December 3, 1962, in Lake Village, Arkansas.
David graduated from Lakeside High School in Lake Village
Arkansas. Always, pursuing adventure he moved to Detroit
Michigan upon his graduation where he worked at the Allen
Park glass plant.
In 1985 David moved to Arlington Texas and he began his
family. He married Edna Joyce Gray on September 19, 1986
and maintained a loving union for 34 years. His only son
David Darious Morgan was born on February 7, 1986.
The same year 1985 he worked for Arlington Medical City in
the material management department. His last
employment was Diversified Trades Construction as a
construction worker. Due to an automobile accident in
1990 David was forced to retire. His accident never
diminished his love for life. He became more determined,
strong, and independent to conquer life with the love of his
wife Edna Morgan. He stayed focused and set plans in place
to take care of his family.
David was kind and loving. He appreciated his family and
friends. Although he was in a wheelchair, he found ways to
give teachable guidance to train his son and mentor other
young men. He was an encourager, believing he could do all
things through Christ who strengthen him. He helped to
raise his nephew Brayden as his own and loved being a
grandfather to his two grandsons Creelin and Ryan. His
loving wife, a devoted care giver began each day and ended
each day with him.
David became a devoted member of Cornerstone Baptist
Church and was baptized on December 3, 1995. He enjoyed
studying the Bible. He became an active member in the
men’s Bible study group, Sunday school couple’s E and the
mentor ministry. He taught children Sunday school until
his health would not allow him to attend. He indeed loved
the Lord and was called to gospel ministry in June 2003.
On this Father's Day 2021, David became ill and was taken
to the hospital. It was not Gods will for David to return
home. But in Daivd’s true love of giving he was an organ
donor and on June 25, 2021, he offered his last to others. He
will be greatly missed by many.
His father, R. D. Morgan preceded him in death.

92:1-5 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing
praises unto thy name, O Most High:
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy
faithfulness every night,
3 On an instrument of ten strings, On the lute, And on the harp, With
harmonious sound.
4 For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph
in the works of Your hands.
5 O Lord, how great are Your works!
