Lloyd Taylor Morgan, Jr. entered the world on October 21, 1952, to Lloyd Taylor Morgan Sr. and Evelyn Morgan, who preceded him in death. Lloyd Jr. was the first child born of four to this union. He attended South Oak Cliff (SOC) High School and graduated in 1971. In 1980, he married Beatrice Morgan and became the father to Harrison Dwight Thompson. From this union came Lloyd Taylor Morgan III, and Jonathan Morgan (Carol).
Lloyd worked at various companies in the field of technology. While technology was important, music and sports had always been his first love. He maintained a collection of vinyl albums dating back to his high school days. Sly and the Family Stones was one
of his favorite groups in his formative years.
After living in Dallas, he was determined to move his family to San Diego, CA, where he enjoyed rearing his boys. After seeing Dwight off to college, he noted that Lloyd III and Jonathan became invested in playing football. As a sports enthusiast, Lloyd poured himself into being the best dad cheerleader for his boys. His immense pride in their accomplishments on the field was on full display.
Recognizing the need to honor his roots in church affiliation, he joined the Linda Vista Second Baptist Church under pastor Dr. Norris Dean Jarmon. There, he cultivated his love for music as a percussionist. While serving in the music ministry, he met and married Belinda Smith in 2017.
Lloyd was always the life of the party and always had something humorous to say. Even when things were at their worst, he could always find something to laugh about. To his family, he was “big brother,” and to others, he was a good friend. If Lloyd ever became your friend, it was a friendship that was intended to last a lifetime. As Lloyd grew in age, he became more of a resource of wisdom and life lessons.
Lloyd was called home on August 31, 2024.
Lloyd Jr. leaves to cherish his memory and celebrate his life sisters; Vickie (James),
Delaunda (Richard), and Michael (Michelle), grandchildren; Lloyd Taylor Morgan IV and
Genhi Hibma Thompson, niece DeMonica Gooden, nephews; Michael Morgan Jr., Daniel Morgan, Richard Jones Jr., Arturio Morgan, Patrick Burns, and Jamison Burns, and a host of relatives and close friends.
