We are grieved to announce, Morgan “Marcus” Lee Osborne (17 years old) was killed the afternoon of August 15, in Midland County.

The bereaved survivors include his stepfamily in Midland, Carla Ianet Gonzalez (stepmother), Kelis Salgado (step-father), Alexanndrea Winstead (sister), and Brianna Gatlin (sister).

In Alpine, his adopted family survivors are Jenny Walker (mother), James Osborne (father), Isabelle Osborne (sister), Seth Osborne (brother), and Macey Walker (sister).

In Belton, his biological family survivors are Tara Whitfield (mother), James Winstead (father), and Sarai Whitfield (sister).

Multiple grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends across the United States will miss him desperately.

Born on September 7, 2005, in Midland County, Morgan lived his whole life in Texas. His first 12 years, he spent with his adopted family in Alpine, where he was homeschooled and attended Alpine Middle School. Reaching his teens, Morgan was introduced to his biological family, expanding his circle of friends, family, and experiences, and lived a few years with them in the Temple/ Belton area. Due to the death of his beloved brother, Joseph (JD) Osborne, in November 2022, Morgan spent the last nine months with his stepfamily in Midland. His presence in the Gonzalez/ Salgado house was impactful and has left an enormous loss. Morgan made many friends everywhere he lived, a lover of cars, music and fun, making him impossible to ever be forgotten. Memorials may be made on behalf of all the families at American Heritage Cemetery Funeral Home Crematory in Midland. There is no funeral scheduled at this time.
