WAYLAND, Mich. (WOOD) — Wayland community members gathered Wednesday to remember a well-known local man who was killed in a mobile home fire.
A burning candle was left at the corner of Superior and Church streets in Wayland, where Jason Morgan would often sit on a bench and wave at passersby.
“He’d always wave and you always waved back because, you know, it’s Jason,” Jennifer Chappell, a friend of Morgan, said at the vigil.
Morgan, 44, was found dead Tuesday morning following the fire at Rabbit River Estates off 135th Avenue, just east of the city. Residents at the mobile home park called him an “icon,” saying he frequently walked his two dogs in the neighborhood and asked them for rides.
