The family of Peetah Morgan, the lead singer of Morgan Heritage, has confirmed that his memorial service will take place on March 7 in Orlando, Florida, at a venue to be announced.
The event details include a public viewing starting at 3 p.m., followed by the service from 4 to 6 p.m., a lantern lighting ceremony from 6:15 to 6:30 p.m., and the repast from 7 to 10 p.m.
Morgan Heritage shared on social media, “In this life, live for the cause and your name will live forever. So do JAH work and be remembered. These are the words of the great Peter ‘Peetah’ Anthony Morgan. Join us on March 7 in #Orlando, #Florida as we join hearts and hands in his remembrance. #Heritage4Life.”
Peetah Morgan died on February 25, according to a statement issued by the band.
“It is out of sincere love that we share that our beloved husband, father, son, and brother and lead singer of Morgan Heritage Peter Anthony Morgan has ascended today,” the group said.
“Our family thanks you in advance for your overwhelming love and support, and we ask your continued prayers as we go through this process. We also ask that you please respect our privacy during this time of healing.”
The group did not disclose Peter’s cause of death. He was 46 years old.
The singer’s unmistakable voice has been at the forefront of Morgan Heritage’s journey for three decades, steering the group through some of the most significant anthems in modern roots-reggae.
From timeless tracks like “Don’t Haffi Dread (To Be Rasta)” to soulful melodies like “Down by the River” and “She’s Still Loving Me,” his vocal prowess has left an indelible mark on reggae music.
