Mark was born on May 29, 1986 to John Howard Morgan and Candy Cunnington (Morgan). Mark grew up in Pocatello, Idaho and graduated from Highland High School in 2004.

Mark loved his family with all of his heart. Spending time with them was one of his favorite things to do. He was especially protective of his mother and sister, Lacey Taylor. Mark talked to his mom every day and no matter where he was in the world, he never missed a single performance Lacey did. Mark loved riding dirt bikes with his dad, which he learned to do well very quickly.

Mark also loved his friends. He spent much of his time with those that loved him having the time of his life. There was never a person that met him that didn’t fall in love with him and his hilarious, sarcastic humor. His laugh was contagious and he had a million dollar smile. He would do anything to help people and would always make sure that everyone felt included. He was the life of the party. As a confident young man, he made a strong impact on all he came into contact with.

Mark also enjoyed mountain biking, hiking, shooting hoops, throwing around a football, and riding motorcycles with his best friend and brother, Tylor.

His family would like him to know how truly inspired they have all been to have had the blessing of having him a part of their strong family. They all would agree that he has made each of them better individuals and has shown them things about life that they value deeply. His mother and father love him beyond the expression of words and his brothers look up to his example contantly. His sister Lacey has always felt the comfort of such a protective big brother and knows that he will continue to protect her. His siblings all look to him as not only a brother, but as a best friend. His family could not be more proud of the individual he had grown to be.

Mark is survived by his parents, Candy Beck (Larry Beck), Howard Morgan (Emee Morgan), his brothers, Tylor Morgan, Tyson Taylor (Shyann Taylor), Shaun Taylor (Regina Champion), his sister, Lacey Teal Taylor, numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins, Grandparents, Dale and Nathalee Morgan, Betty Cunnington, and Great Grandma Dora Dean Young.
