Allyssa was born April 8th, 2003 in Davenport, daughter of James Bryant and Rodell Hitchcock. She was blessed to gain her daddy Jay Morgart in July of 2007.

Allyssa was a ray of light! If you were ever blessed enough to bask in that light you know how music was a huge part of it as she would sing, dance, play and live life to the fullest. Her trips with family and friends took her to places of warmth and sunshine – she is back there now. She loved working out and participating in sports as well... basketball, Dek Hockey, soccer, softball – anything she could do to run, play and have fun. She also found joy in photography, taking pictures of the simple beauty she saw in nature. Above all she loved her “Baby Girl”, Ayla and cherished every moment with her.

Those left to honor her memory include her daughter Ayla; Ayla’s father Tyreese Johnson; Parents Rodell (Jay) Morgart and James Bryant; siblings Raquel (Carlos) Hora, Ryan Bryant, Tyler (Ashley) Bryant, Tristan Morgart, Kailee Morgart, Aiden Lee and Katarina Milosevic; Grandparents Pamela Mottet and Ron (Julia) Hitchcock; Great-Grandmother Joan Jess; Special Aunts Jean, Julie, Jill and Rashell; numerous Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews, Cousins and countless friends.

She was preceded in death by her Great-Grandfather Donald Jess and Aunt Julie.

Allyssa’s Mom requests that you come to her Celebration of Life in your BRIGHTEST attire with your NIKE shoes – no creases and laced right!

Everyone is invited to join for a reception/party of life at Anthony’s Restaurant and Pub (in the American Legion on 35th Street, Davenport) immediately following the service.
