Frank Morning, Jr.

Frank Eric Morning, Jr. was born on January 9, 1957, in Plainfield, New Jersey to his parents, Mary Alice Patterson Morning and Frank Eric Morning, Sr. He was the eighth child born in the family. He was raised surrounded by his brothers, Vernard "Bootsie", James "Sonny", Sherman "Ricky", John, Jerry, Charles and his sisters, Aloma, Barbara, Anna "Penny", Connie, and Valerie. As a child, he was talkative and enjoyed playing jokes on family and friends. He received his formal education in Denver, Colorado where he was a 1975 graduate of West High School. He furthered his education by earning an Associate's Degree in Business. Frank enlisted in the United States Army. He served his country as a paralegal. He received numerous awards and citations for his meritorious service. He served with honor and distinction and was honorably discharged. Frank wed Joyce Norman, in Denver, Colorado. There were no children born to this union. He later united in holy matrimony to the former Resa Cooper on May 10, 1988, in Denver. To this union, a son Frankee, III was born. The family shared many happy and precious moments together. By profession, Frank was employed as a paralegal in downtown Denver. His co-workers and employers remember his smile and his sense of humor. He was a person who performed all his duties with a spirit of excellence. Frank was a fun loving man who enjoyed life and those he encircled. In his free time, he enjoyed spending quality time with family and friends. He was a man who enjoyed talking to any and everyone who listened. He had an opinion on every subject from A to Z and what was so fascinating about that was his personality would take control and he would captivate anyone in his presence. He was a people person and quite the jokester. It goes without saying that he could on occasion make others mad. His family members would look him straight in his eyes and tell him "Shut up, Frankee." His closest friends, Gary Ashton and Lester Martin shared a close camaraderie that has spanned over many years. Lester preceded him in death. Frank will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known this "one of a kind" guy. Frank leaves a legacy that can never be duplicated and a void that can never be filled. To know Frank was to love him. He is preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Mary Morning; and two brothers, James Wallace and Sherman Wallace. Frank Eric Morning, Jr. departed this life on May 21, 2014, in Denver, Colorado.
