Morgan was, of course, best known for his role as Fr. Ted Crilly in the iconic and loved-by-all Father Ted.
The programme may have only ran for a couple of years, but Morgan's dry humour, his absurdist wit, and the fact that the money was just resting his account led to Father Ted's legacy spanning over two decades.
... And it's hardly likely that the appetite for the Lovely Girls competition and Priest Talk is going to dry up anytime soon.
Morgan won a BAFTA for his portrayal of Ted, but the comedian had been working his way up through the entertainment industry long before then.
In the late '80s, he co-wrote radio show Scrap Saturdays with Gerard Stembridge.
The programme co-starred Father Ted's Pauline McLynn and Owen Roe, and presented a satirical look at Irish politics.
Morgan also released a comedy single called Thank You Very Very Much Mr Eastwood and shot several pilots with RTE, many of which went unaired.
Today, on the anniversary of his death, fans, friends and family have taken to social media to remember Morgan and the joy he brought them as a performer.
