Michael Lee Morgan, age 70, passed away in Seattle on May 13th, 2023 from complications of cancer. He was born in Crescent City, CA and grew up in Port Orchard, WA. He graduated from the University of Washington in 1975 on an Air Force ROTC scholarship with a Bachelor’s in Geology and was commissioned into the United States Air Force from Detachment 910. He later earned a Master’s degree in Human Relations. Mike served 21 years as a B-52 Radar Navigator and retired in March 1997 at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Following his service to his country he followed his passion in woodworking, starting two businesses, one in Mililani, HI, and the other in Coupeville, WA.

He is survived by his high school sweetheart, Verna, who he met at age 12 and is the proud father of his son William and wife Crystal and daughter Jamie and husband Kris Andrews. He was also proud to be called Baumpa by his six grandchildren, Alex, Selena, Sinaolea, Simati, Manaia, and Leaute. He is also survived by his mother Donna Trone, brother Clay and sister Shannon Davenport, along with several sister and brother in-laws, cousins, nieces, nephews, and many friends. He was preceded in death by his father Don, uncle Leon, and cousin Stacy.

Mike’s celebration of life will take place at Oak Harbor Lutheran Church on Saturday June 17th, 2023 at 11:00 am. The family requests attendees to wear military service dress uniforms or their favorite Aloha shirt to honor his love for the Armed Forces and Hawaii. Flowers can be sent to the church or donations can be made to the American Cancer Society in his honor.
