The Zach Morgan Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 2007 by his parents, Dana and Kathy Morgan and his brother, Cory Morgan. Zach had a heart for service, tremendous leadership qualities and outstanding scholastic achievement. He will always be remembered for his beautiful smile, and upbeat, helpful personality.

Zach was known by all as a caring and giving individual. He was extremely bright and never hesitated to help his classmates. Always surrounded by friends, Zach loved to dance for fun and even had a special dance he made up they called the “jig”.

Zach enjoyed volunteering to help others and was a member of ECLIPSe (4 years), Hancock Youth Leadership (Class of 2007/08) and the Liberty Benton Z-Club service organization. He was chosen to serve as a Hancock County schools representative for the 2005 100 Best Communities celebration in Washington DC.

Zach also enjoyed sports and was a two-year member of the boys basketball team (including the 2007 OHSAA Boys State Runner-Up Team) and a three-year member of the boys soccer team. He was a member of the Spanish Club, Treasurer of the Class of 2009 (3 years), and a member of St. Michaels’ Parish and the Life Teen Group.

A junior at Liberty Benton High School, Zach was a 4.0 student and was inducted posthumously into the Hancock County National Honor Society. Prior to his passing, he had been nominated as one of Liberty Benton’s county officer nominees for the organization. To be considered for membership in National Honor Society in 2007, students were required to write an essay that included an example of a person that exemplified his or her definition of character.
