Born in Albany, Georgia, Morgan attended schools in New Jersey and Georgia before starring in Chestnut Hill College’s basketball program, his obituary says.

Morgan then became a dedicated employee at Trenton Water Works and had recently been promoted to Inspector while driving trucks for Cleantex, his memorial says.

Mayor of Trenton Reed Gusciora shared his condolences to Morgan’s family in a touching social media post.

“Chris was a model employee who was instrumental to our lead service line replacement program,” Gusciora wrote. “He was a hard worker who quickly climbed the ranks in just a few short years. Most importantly, he was a kind person who was beloved and respected by many at TWW.”

Morgan is survived by his partner, Khristina Brooks; three sons, Nasier Francique, Justice Lafferty, and Khristopher King Morgan; a sister, Sheila Green; his parents, Relisha and Christopher Morgan; his niece and nephew, Siani Lindsey and Tyron Morgan; as well as numerous extended family members and close friends.

Morgan’s funeral will be held Wednesday, Dec. 22 at Campbell Funeral Chapel on Calhoun Street in Trenton.

“Trenton lost an incredible civil servant and an even better person,” writes Mayor Gusciora. “My condolences go out to his friends, family, and colleagues who will have to bear his loss this holiday season.”
