Neil Everett Morgan was born in Provo, Utah on January 3, 1976, to Hugh and Luana Morgan. Neil wasn’t the only baby born to Hugh and Luana that day. His identical twin brother, Geoff, followed 5 minutes later and Neil never let Geoff forget who was older. Neil spent his childhood in Rock Springs, Wyoming. With six brothers with only 7 ½ years from oldest to youngest, there was plenty of exploring to do together. Playing hide and seek in a school bus graveyard, exploring the construction site of the new Jr High being built, and much more.

Wherever the Morgan boys went, it was together. During their time in Rock Springs lifelong friends were made in the Arner family. This family would become more than friends. Maxine and her kids would come to be a part of the family forever! Neil was especially close to Maxine’s son, Jim. They were less than a year apart in age and Jim just became another brother. A family of all boys, they were blessed to find sisters in Maxine's daughters, Nikki (Whiting) and Krysta Arner. Another lifelong friend turned family member that would be acquired in Rock Springs is Staci Taylor. To this day Staci is known as Aunt Staci to all the nieces and nephews. Neil even lived with Staci and her husband, Chris, for a time after his mission. 

In June of 1989, the Morgan family moved to South Weber, Utah. Living in a close-knit community only added more brothers as soccer, street hockey, and basketball would take over the neighborhood. Neighbors, who are too numerous to name, became family and would remain that way always. 

Neil would go on to graduate from Northridge High School in 1994. After which he made the decision to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Neil was called to serve the people in the Birmingham, England mission the for two years. Neil served there from 1995 to 1997.

Neil would be blessed to become a father to two children. Parker and Abbie became Neil’s life. Whether playing board games or having tea parties, Neil loved spoiling his kids. Neil also loved to travel and took his kids on many trips to the ocean, LEGOLAND, Disneyland, and various states to visit family.

Neil loved being around his nieces and nephews and was always the self-proclaimed favorite Uncle ready for fun. The Morgan boys are a competitive bunch, and the title of “Favorite Uncle” is always up for debate.

Neil’s happy place was playing board games. He loved learning new games and sharing them with others. Neil’s board gaming group of friends held an incredibly special place in his heart. What began as a shared interest grew into something much more meaningful-a family. Through countless games, conversations, laughter, and shared experiences, Neil built friendships that reached far beyond the gaming table. Queens Realm was a place where Neil found connection, friendship, and a sense of belonging. The people he met there became an important part of his life, and he cherished them as family. He will be deeply missed by the many friends who made Queens Realm and SaltCon such a special part of his world.

Neil was very charismatic and outgoing. He was the kind of person that never met a stranger. He loved to try new restaurants and travel. Hawaii was always one of his favorite places and that showed when he chose Hawaii as the place where he would leave this life. 

Neil was preceded in death by his identical twin brother, Geoffrey Morgan. Neil is survived by his children, Parker and Abbie Morgan. Along with his parents, Hugh and Luana Morgan, and Merrill and Maxine Cazier. Siblings, Brent Morgan, Emily Morgan (widow of the late Geoffrey Morgan), Steven (Kristen) Morgan, Kevin (Stacy) Morgan, Alan (Chami) Morgan, Staci (Chris) Taylor, Krysta Arner, Jim (Amy) Arner, Nikki (Jeff) Whiting, and 29 nieces and nephews.
