The valiant never taste of death but once

I worked at Fairfax until not too long back and met Morgan a few times
Not enough to make any great or other claims about him.
I just want to pay my respects to a man who died living.

It's probably best put in the words Shakespeare gave Julius Caesar:

Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.
