On April 9 ^th , 2021, James Morgan Gill, loving fiancé and father of two children, passed away from an unexpected stroke. Morgan was born in Little Rock, AR on May 7 ^th , 1993 to Tami Gill. He graduated high school from Sheridan and went on to Arkansas Tech to obtain his general education classes.

On September 12, 2020 he proposed to his fiancé, Brooke Ramer surrounded by some of their closest friends. They were to be married on May 1 ^st , 2021, but if you saw Morgan and Brooke together, you know the love and commitment that only a marriage can provide was already there.

Morgan was happiest when he was fishing or making someone else laugh. He had a genuine soul and cared deeply for anyone and everyone that he met. He had a passion for keeping his yard meticulous and green, he also loved spending time in any type of garden. Morgan worked as a grower at the Maumelle Nursery and his work ethic was unrivaled. To know Morgan was to love Morgan. He had a beautiful spirit that could ignite any kind of situation and make it full of laughter and smiles. Music was Morgan's favorite method of expression and his taste in music was incredible. He truly loved to break songs down and tune in on certain instruments and lyrics that brought so much relation to the song.

He was known for his terrible dad jokes and his ability to make any situation a humorous one. He would want everyone in his life to remember him when he was at his best, cracking jokes, playing with his babies, and living his life with the type of excitement that only he had. His children were two of the brightest lights in his life and he was an extraordinary father. Watching him play with and teach his babies new things is one of his family's greatest memories.

Morgan was preceded in death by his father, Rick, his great-grandparents James and Bobbie Lemons, his grandparents, Quintin and Laverne Long, and his uncle, Morgan Long. He is survived in death by his fiancé, Brooke Ramer, his children, Emery and Rustin Gill, his mother, Tami Gill, his sister, Kali Gill, nephew Abel Camp, mother of his two children, Baylie Barker, his grandparents, John and Tana Holder and Mike and Linda Jordan, his aunt and uncle Jerry and Ginger Bullard, aunts Tamara Jordan and Kendra Jordan, aunt and uncle, Karen and Steve Hurd, and cousins Reuben Hedden, Rachel Bullard Miller Sara Bullard and Lacy Margaret Hurd.
