Morgan's parents, Mike and Linda Morgan, and his brother Ben, shared the following explanation:
“He was just a great, great man who had committed himself to his church in his faith and service and so, so involved with his family. He was just the best son, brother and uncle you could ask for. He was a deep and loyal Christian, and we were so grateful to have him.
The lawyers of the Morgan family said in a press release that the tractor, trailer and excavator have not yet been released by the Georgetown police. They added that as the investigation continues, they “are dedicated to find justice for the Morgans and to get answers about how to prevent this tragedy.”
