Alison wrote on the JustGiving page that she and her family were hoping to raise money for mental health charity Guernsey Mind to try and precent male suicide.
She wrote: “We are heartbroken at his loss and have started this fundraising page in the small hope that we can prevent others suffering as we are losing someone they love as we love Morgan so much.
“Our hearts are breaking. Talking to whoever is so important for everyone, especially young men.”

Phillip previously spoke about his own struggles with mental health after coming out as gay on This Morning back in February.
He bravely told The Sun that he considered suicide but was pulled back by the strength of his wife Steph, 56, and their daughters Molly, 26, and Ruby, 24.
Phillip said at the time: “There is no doubt living with this kind of secret can take people to the darkest of places.
“And there is no question for me it got very dark, because it felt hopeless.”
He added: “There is no question, in those moments, when I couldn’t see a way forward, it was Steph and my girls — through their strength — who hauled me back.
“But I understand completely why so many men and women in this country get to the point of suicide.
“I had Steph and I had my girls and I don’t think I could have left them like that. But if I hadn’t have had their support, then who knows?”
