David Allen Morgan, age 83, of Guyton, Georgia, passed away peacefully on Monday, May 25th, 2026 at home surrounded by many loved ones that he cared for so dearly. Born on December 30th, 1942, to the late Joe Allen Morgan and Sebie Kate Moore, Allen spent his early childhood in South Georgia before planting his roots in the Savannah area. It was there that he built a remarkable life defined by love, laughter, and dedicated service.

Allen above all else, was a true family man. His loved ones were his entire world. A devoted husband, father, brother, and "Papa," he was known as a fiercely loving and generous man, who would gladly give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He never met a stranger, effortlessly gathering friends wherever he went—including the many staff members at his local Cracker Barrel and McDonald's who came to meet his warm smile and baby blues.

Allen is survived by his loving wife, Joyce Morgan, of Guyton, GA and brother, Wilbur Eugene Morgan. Allen raised one son (Joe Allen Morgan) and daughter (Wendy Morgan) and inherited three bonus daughters: Stephanie Harvey (Bobby), Kerri Moore (Kevin), and Miranda Gerson(Jonathan). His legacy lives on through his cherished 14 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren. Allen also leaves behind his beloved dog and loyal companion, Buddy, from whom he was inseparable through both work and play.

Allen is preceded in death by his father (Joe Allen Morgan), biological mother (Sebie Kate), bonus mother (Thelma Morgan), brother (Larry Morgan), sister (Peggy Powell), and son (Joe Allen Morgan).

Professionally, Allen began his career as an engineer and supervisor, eventually rising to Vice President with Rogers Bridge Company before retiring from Balfour Beatty. He was renowned for his commitment to excellence and teamwork. His passion for building bridges was more than just a job; it was a testament to his lifelong commitment to connecting communities and people. There isn’t a bridge in or out of Savannah (or the surrounding area) that Allen wasn’t involved in building (except for the Talmadge Bridge).

At home, Allen found joy in the simple things. He could often be found outdoors, happily tending to his yard and embracing the beauty of his yard work. His life was set to the soundtrack of gospel and country music, which frequently filled the air around him (both by professional artists as well as through his own singing).

Despite his many professional accomplishments, Allen considered his greatest legacy to be his unwavering love for the Lord - a steadfast faith that inspired everyone around him. A celebration of Allen’s life will be held on Friday, May 29th, 2026, at 1:00 P.M. at the Goshen Road Baptist Church in Rincon, GA. Burial will follow at Hillcrest Cemetery. Family and friends are invited to gather for visitation, which will be held one hour prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Goshen Road Baptist Church in Allen’s memory, a place that held a special place in his heart.

Arrangements have been thoughtfully overseen by Baker McCullough Funeral Home - Garden City Chapel.

Allen will be dearly missed by all who knew him, but his spirit will continue to be a guiding light in the lives of those he touched.
