Morgan Stuart Fay passed away peacefully, with family at his side, on January 21, 2022 at his home in Newark, CA. He lost his valiant battle to the rare blood disorder, Amyloidosis. Born to Robert and Ann Fay on August 24,1954 in Kansas City, Missouri, Morgan spent his childhood in Minnesota, moving to CA his Senior year of high school.
In 1974, he met the love of his life, Jean Rose Boyer, and four years later, they were married at St Theresa’s Catholic Church in South
Lake Tahoe. Morgan and Jean remained married for 43 years and raised three beautiful children in the East Bay.
Morgan began his passion for law enforcement at the age of 18, becoming a cadet at the Brisbane Police Department.

He had a special way with the community he served, befriending many community members over the decades.

He enjoyed riding his motorcycles, (much to Jean’s chagrin) and loved classic cars, owning a blue Oldsmobile 442 and a 1979 Corvette.

My heart is broken, and I will miss him terribly. May God always, protect his soul, He is at peace, and pain free.
Morgan……Fly with the Angels. We love you Morgan!
Prayer:
I’M FREE
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has chosen for me.
I took His hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I’ve now found peace at the end of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Oh yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
Look for the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief;
Don’t lengthen your pain with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and peace to thee,
God wanted me now-He set me free
Like former Pacifica Police Sgt, Bill Whiprecht, another guy I thought the world of, I’m
a bit late in my comments. I just learned of Morgan’s passing. I was a Police Explorer at the Pacifica Police Dept. when I was 16 years old. Morgan was a guy I looked up to and still do. He took me on Ride Alongs, etc.In large part due to him I became a cop and retired as an Lt in a metropolitan area. Thanks Morgan. The love, admiration and respect I have for you is second to none.
I too am late learning of Morgan’s passing. I worked with him as a police officer at Pacifica PD and have nothing but fond memories of those times. He had a wicked sense of humor and we enjoyed many beers and laughs together. He was all cop and had incredible investigative instincts. After he joined San Jose P.D., we unfortunately fell out of touch.
I’m saddened that we never got to say goodbye. RIP brother…you were a good guy and I’ll keep you in my prayers.
