FIRESTONE, D. Morgan, 1930 - 2009, died at home on January 13, 2009, peacefully, with strength and dignity. Father of Amy (Goodrich), David, Jeff, Debbie and Cindy. Husband of Julie (nee Gibson). Morgan had a remarkable life filled with generosity and kindness. Born in Akron, Ohio, he became a proud Canadian in the 1970's. A passionate sportsman and accomplished entrepreneur, Morgan continued his mother's love and legacy of horse racing through Firestone Farms. Morgan believed that from those who were given much, much was expected, and demonstrated this through his remarkable philanthropy to many causes. Morgan left our world having made it a better place. A celebration of Morgan's life took place on Saturday, January 17, 2009 at 11 a.m. at Central Presbyterian Church, 165 Charlton Avenue West, Hamilton, Ontario (corner of Charlton and Caroline Streets). In lieu of flowers, wellwishers were asked to make donations to St. Joseph's Healthcare Foundation, Firestone Institute of Respiratory Health.

Quote from Dick Lawson, well known professional horseman in Kentucky:

“I particularly like your Sky Classic Horse, he might just be the Stud of the future. His sire is going to make an excellent broodmare sire, especially on polytrak, big, flat footed horses move up on synthetic tracks. Another trait is a little longer/slack or what we used to refer to as European pastern’s, now are not as objectionable as previously considered. Breed some of your good mares to him, don’t think you’ll regret it, especially when they turn three years old and begin running long. This horse has a good shot at getting a Queen’s Plate horse.”
