R.I.P.: Former WXCM Owensboro Radio Host Jeff Morgan

Jeff Morgan
Former WXCM 97.1 FM mornng host Jeff Morgan died sometime overnight Thursday at the age of 54.

"Like someone turned off the mic today," says Melissa "Spiff" Goodall. She, and Rob Nichols, worked with Jeff Morgan at 97X.

"On-air, he was like this larger than life, rock and roll guy, who knew everything about any sort of rock question you can think of," says Goodall.

"He had certain bands he really, really liked, and he made an effort to meet them in person," says Nichols.

Off-air, they say he'd go out of his way to help anyone.

Morgan hosted the 'Morgan in the Morning' show for nearly nine years, also serving as programming director at Cromwell.

"Very shocked because I thought Morgan was doing a lot better lately," Nichols said. "He had been battling a few other health issues. He seemed like he was on the upswing. So his death was really a shock and a surprise."
