Dr. Morgan H. Lyons

Dr. Morgan H. Lyons, Jr. passed away suddenly on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, in Morgantown, WV.

Born on December 11, 1951, in Philippi, West Virginia, he is the son of the late Morgan and Hilda Lyons (Stemple). He graduated from West Virginia University in 1974 and earned his medical degree in 1978. He then continued his medical education at WVU, completing a combined internal medicine and psychiatry residency, followed by a fellowship in cardiology. Morgan joined Monongalia General Hospital in 1984, becoming one of the early foundational members of its cardiology practice, shaping the program and quality of care.

Morgan was a devoted and highly respected physician whose career with the Mon Health System spanned more than 41 years. Throughout his decades of service, he cared for countless patients with unwavering skill and compassion. He served as attending and consulting staff at Mon Health Medical Center and Heart and Vascular clinics in Morgantown, Fairmont, Elkins, and McHenry, MD. In addition to his clinical work, he shared his knowledge and passion for medicine as a Cardiology Clinical Assistant Professor at WVU. He served as principal investigator in the GUSTO III and ASSENT 2 clinical trials in the northern WV area, advancing thrombolytic therapy. More recently, Morgan expanded heart care access across the state through providing cardiac telemedicine in underserved areas.

Outside of his medical practice, Morgan relished all things outdoors. An avid fisherman, he embarked on nationwide journeys in pursuit of his next big catch. He cherished deer hunting and boating with his family. As a prominent adult leader in Boy Scouts of America Troop 93, Morgan actively participated in scouting activities. He traveled to campouts, assisted in packing and planning, and set an example for troop members. Morgan deeply appreciated music. He recorded band performances for local schools and could often be found listening to some of his favorites from Chicago. As a proud alumnus, Morgan was a lifelong Mountaineer sports fan. With season tickets to both football and basketball, there was always a game for him and his family to attend. Though he enjoyed many hobbies, Morgan’s greatest fulfillment always came through spending time with his family whom he loved dearly. He inspired Olivia, Haley, and Logan to pursue careers in medicine.

He is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Beverly, and their children: Olivia (boyfriend Kevin Tennant), Haley (husband Daniel Dawley), and Logan (fiancée Lauren Carter) who all reside in Morgantown. As well as sons Christopher of Broomfield, CO and Aaron (wife Susan) of Erie, CO; and his brother Kevin (wife Gretchen) of Philippi. He also leaves behind seven grandchildren, all of Erie, CO, and several nieces and nephews.
