Morgan Fieri was first diagnosed with cancer when she was 4 years old. Guy Fieri never forgot how their community rallied around the family, and how local celebrities visited Morgan in the hospital when she was a child, per Delish. In 2011, at the age of 38, Morgan died of metastic melanoma, via Legacy. She was survived by her son Jules and her partner Annie Antepara. "My little sister passed away in February. It was heartbreaking," Guy told TravelFoodandDrink.com (via Chicago Now). At the time, the Food Network star had just finished a book that was going to print. To honor Morgan, Guy had the dedication of the book changed at the last second. "My sister lives on in the book shelves and in the homes, with the families of people forever," he said.
Guy continued to commemorate his sister in various ways. In 2015, Guy paid tribute to Morgan, who was a lesbian, when he officiated 101 same-sex marriages in Florida, per USA Today. The event was organized by fellow celebrity chef Art Smith after the state lifted the ban on same-sex marriage. "Was an honor to be part of such an amazing day for so many loving couples #101gayweddings," the "Guy's Grocery Games" host wrote on Twitter at the time. Guy paid tribute to his sister in February 2020 with a touching Instagram post. "Miss you my sister Morgan. You continue to inspire us all," he wrote in the caption of a family photo. "We love you! Namaste."
