Errol Elijah Morgan
Errol Morgan passed away on March 9, 2021, just months away from his 70th birthday.
Born in Clarendon, Jamaica Errol emigrated to Canada at the impressionable age of 18. Landing at Pearson Airport, his final destination would be Sudbury, ON of all places. It is in this town, so vastly different than the island he grew up on, that he would plant his roots.
It was 1969 and Sudbury was booming, and employment was not in shortfall. Errol soon found himself employed at Memorial Hospital. But that was not what he was destined for. After accepting an employment offer at INCO he never looked back. Ever the proud miner and scooptram driver Errol spent the next 36 years with INCO, hanging up his hardhat and PPE for the final time in November of 2009 as he happily entered into retirement just as Vale took over his beloved mine. After his retirement Errol passed the time with family and friends. In the summers and fall he could be found enjoying his gorgeous yard which was adorned with the beautiful cedar trees he planted and cultivated from scraggly saplings, or gardening, blueberry picking or playing dominos. And in the winters it was back to Jamaica to escape the cold. It is there in the land he took his first breath, that he would take his last with his wife lovingly at his side.
Errol joins his previously deceased parents Dudley and Naomi Morgan and is survived by his wife and best friend Faith (nee Johnson), his children Sandra “Janet”, Dawn-Marie “Marie” (Derron), Elyia, Troy, Tijah, and Charlene (Colin), and his eight beloved “spoiled” grandchildren – Braxton, Alyssa, Mitchell (or as Errol liked to call him Michelle), Brayden, Jessica, Cole, Chancellor and Jayden. Also surviving him are his loving siblings Dudley (Rita), Violet “Dell” (Donald), Robert, Beulah, Joy, Earl, Moira “Marie” (Ivan, predeceased), Nigel “London” (Jackie), Bunny (Claudia) and predeceased are his elder brothers Raymond and Carlton. He will be greatly missed his brother and sister-in-laws Candy (Lorney, predeceased), Francis (Maurice), Calvin (Sandy), Gloria (Mike) and Colleen (Paul). Predeceased are Myles (Theresa) Sherry (Brian, predeceased) and Ruby. He will be sadly missed by his numerous nieces and nephews, cousins, and countless friends including his “second wife” Winston “Rat” Miller (sorry we had to get that last jab in).
As per his greatest wish, Errol will be interned in his family’s plot in Jamaica on a lush and beautiful hill. Due to COVID, his celebration of life will be deferred. If all goes well and restrictions are lifted you can expect his celebration on June 19, 2021. This is the weekend he planned to throw his annual birthday party, so you’ll know where to find everyone – in his beautiful yard. In lieu of flowers a memorial donation can be made in his honour to either SickKids or Maison McCulloch Hospice.
