April 17, 2016 — April 6, 2026

It is with profound sadness and tender remembrance that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter, Morgan Smith-Jarrell, who left this world on April 6, 2026, just shy of her tenth birthday. Born on April 17, 2016, in the warm embrace of Tampa, Florida, Morgan was a beacon of joy and light, whose brief time with us left an indelible mark on all who knew her. Morgan was the cherished daughter of Taccoa Smith and Daniel Jarrell, who adored her lively spirit and compassionate heart. From the moment she entered this world, Morgan filled every room with laughter and warmth, her presence a testament to love in its purest form. Her giggles were infectious, and her smile could brighten even the darkest of days. Despite her young age, Morgan had a wisdom and kindness beyond her years that she shared generously with family and friends. She was an adventurous soul, always eager to explore and learn, whether it was through her love of drawing, her fascination with butterflies, or her delight in the simple joys of nature. Morgan’s creativity was boundless, and her artwork often adorned the walls of her home, each piece a reflection of her vibrant imagination. Morgan is predeceased by her dear Aunt Lisa, Uncle Myles, her sister Madeleine, and her cousins Ava and Adriana, with whom she now rests in eternal peace. Though her time with us was far too short, the memories she created will forever be cherished by those who had the privilege of knowing her. In honoring Morgan’s life, a virtual service will be held on April 12, 2026, at 11:30 AM via Skype. We invite all who knew Morgan to join us in celebrating her life and the love she brought into our world. As we gather together in spirit, we will remember the joy she spread and the love she inspired, holding her memory close to our hearts. Her family wishes to share this special message: "Morgan, your mom and dad will miss you so very much." These words capture the depth of their love and the enduring bond that transcends even the boundaries of life and death. As we say goodbye to our sweet Morgan, we find solace in the memories we hold dear and the love that will never fade. She taught us the true meaning of love and joy, and her spirit will continue to guide and inspire us all. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to children's art programs, fostering the creativity and imagination that Morgan so beautifully embodied. May her legacy live on in the laughter and joy of children exploring their own creative paths. Rest in peace, dear Morgan. You will be forever loved and forever remembered.
