James “Jim” Richard McMorgan, 60, of Maumee, passed away Sunday, May 19, 2024 at his residence after a long hard battle with stage 4 kidney failure. Jim was born May 19, 1964 in Toledo, Ohio to Richard and Irene (Delmonte) McMorgan. He graduated from Perrysburg High School in 1982 where he excelled in basketball and football. He then went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Toledo. Jim married Cherie Meadows on August 12, 2000 and they spent 23 years together.

Jim was a Social Studies teacher for Toledo Public Schools for over 30 years. He was the Perrysburg Summer Recreation Director for over 20 years. He was a history buff and loved to teach his boys about history. Jim was an avid North Carolina Tar Heels Basketball fan and a Toledo Rockets fan. He enjoyed watching MASH and could probably recite every episode.

The joy of his life was watching his youngest son Cole play basketball and his oldest son Mason manage football, basketball and baseball.

Along with his wife, Cherie, James is survived by his two sons; Mason Richard and Cole James; his father, Richard; sister, Joanie (Marcia Fairchild) McMorgan and special cousins. He was preceded in death by his mother, Irene; mother-in-law, Connie Meadows and grandmother-in-law, Mae Meadows. A special thanks go out to the “Six Pack”, Darlene Condon and Aunt Sandy and Marcia Fairchild for taking Jim to dialysis.
