Yr in Review Ray Morgan passes

As we continue with our Year in Review, Franklin County lost two local leaders in 2021. 

 

Canon Mayor Ray Morgan passed away on January 27 after a brief illness. 

 

Morgan opened Morgan’s Used Cars in 1985 and became an integral part of the Canon community. 

 

Morgan served the town of Canon for 27 years ; first as a member of the Canon City Council, and later through his tenure as Mayor of Canon. 

 

He was a proud member of the Canon community and he fought to bring businesses and opportunity to Canon.

 

Ray Morgan was 75. 

 

In June, he was succeeded as Mayor by City councilwoman Annie Wallace who ran unopposed to fill his unexpired term. 

 

She was elected to a full-year term in November.
