Brent was born October 25, 1941, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to Vernal Mertis Morgan and Lucile Irene Grover Morgan. He was the surprise twin following his older brother Bryan. Brent grew up in Idaho Falls attending Emerson Elementary, Central Intermediate, O.E. Bell Junior High, and graduated from Idaho Falls High School thanks to the hard work of his future wife (though he commonly claimed “I hated school!”).
From a young age, Brent and his three brothers learned the value of hard work by helping their father with his siding business. He and his twin brother Bryan were inseparable from the moment they were born. The two of them were known troublemakers, often seen racing down the streets of Idaho Falls in their hot rods in high school. Their love for cars continued throughout their lives and together they restored multiple cars and participated in many car shows.
In 1975, Brent and Sunny founded Rocky Mountain Supply. He credits his ability to start this business to his good friend, Phil Murphy, and his uncle Louis Grover who loaned him the equipment that was necessary to be successful.
In 1986, he began construction on his cabin overlooking Palisades Reservoir. He built the cabin by hand with the help of close family, and it was there that his family became inseparable. To this day you can often find four generations of his family gathered together to make memories.
In retirement, Brent spent time on his many hobbies. He was an amazing handy man, constantly fixing up equipment, tinkering on his cabin, and building log bunk beds by hand for each of his grandchildren. Most mornings you could find Brent in his shop stretching out in front of a warm fire, regardless of the temperature outside.
Brent had rough working hands, a soft and gentle demeanor, larger than life personality and a heart of pure gold. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need.
Brent is survived by his wife, Sondra Lee Cook Morgan, his daughters Michele (Gregory) Huntsman, Janae (Creg) Fielding, Nicole (Justin) Hall, his twenty-one grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren all of Idaho Falls, ID; his twin brother, Bryan Gary (Tameron) Morgan of Irwin, ID; brother, Terry Clifford Morgan of Idaho Falls, ID. He was preceded in death by his parents, Vernal Mertis Morgan and Lucile Irene Grover Morgan; his daughter, Monette Lee Morgan; and brother, Mertis Gene Morgan.
