Denver Motorcycle Community Mourns the Heartbreaking Loss of Morgan Capps — A Cherished Friend and Passionate Rider
DENVER, CO – October 13, 2025 — It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Morgan Capps, a beloved figure in the Denver motorcycle community, a cherished friend to many, and a passionate rider whose presence was as bold and unforgettable as the roar of her bike on an open road.
Morgan’s passing has left a profound void in the hearts of those who knew her — not only as a fellow rider but as a fierce advocate for rider safety, a mentor to younger motorcyclists, and a radiant spirit who brought warmth, grit, and authenticity to every space she entered.
Details surrounding her passing have not yet been fully disclosed to the public, as the family and close friends request privacy during this deeply difficult time. However, what remains certain is the lasting impact Morgan had on those around her and the legacy she leaves behind in the Denver riding scene and beyond.
A Life Fueled by Passion and Purpose
To know Morgan Capps was to know what it meant to live freely and fully. She was a fixture in Denver’s motorcycle culture — present at rallies, ride-outs, charity runs, and weekend meetups. Whether leading a pack through the foothills of the Rockies or helping organize benefit rides for fellow riders in need, Morgan’s commitment to the community was unwavering.
“She didn’t just ride — she lived and breathed the biker life,” said Tony Mendoza, a fellow rider and longtime friend. “But more than that, she loved people. She’d check your oil and check on your heart at the same time. That’s the kind of soul she had.”
Beyond her skill on the road, Morgan was known for her generosity, mentorship, and fierce loyalty. She frequently volunteered at motorcycle safety courses, encouraged more women to take up riding, and advocated for awareness around motorcyclist visibility on public roads.
“She made sure new riders didn’t feel alone. She taught me everything — not just about bikes, but about life,” said Jasmine Rowe, a young rider Morgan had mentored. “She didn’t care about your background or your bike. If your heart was in it, she was in your corner.”
A Legacy of Leadership and Love
Morgan wasn’t just a member of the Denver riding community — she was a leader, in word and deed. Known for her signature leather vest, bright smile, and unwavering honesty, she inspired countless others to ride with integrity, confidence, and purpose.
She also played a key role in several charitable events, including the Annual Ride for Vets, Miles for Meals, and the Denver Toy Run, always riding with compassion and purpose. Her presence at these events helped raise thousands of dollars over the years for local causes.
“She gave us more than we could ever return,” said Lisa Hernandez, president of a local motorcycle chapter. “And she asked for nothing back. That’s rare. That’s Morgan.”
In addition to her work within the biker community, Morgan also pursued a career in custom motorcycle design and mechanics, earning respect in a traditionally male-dominated field through her hard-earned expertise and dedication.
“She could build a bike from the frame up, and still make time to bring coffee to a struggling friend,” said Derrick Collins, owner of a local repair shop where Morgan often worked. “Her hands were tough, but her heart? That was her strongest tool.”
A Community in Mourning
News of Morgan’s passing has shaken the Denver motorcycle world and beyond. Vigils and tributes have already begun to form throughout the city. A memorial ride is currently being planned to honor her memory, with hundreds of local and out-of-town riders expected to attend.
Social media has also been flooded with photos, stories, and heartfelt tributes under the hashtag #RideForMorgan, where fellow riders have been sharing memories of rides, laughs, and life lessons they shared with her.
“She was the glue for so many of us,” one post reads. “Now we ride for her.”
In a public statement, Morgan’s family expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of love and support:
“Morgan lived her life exactly the way she wanted — full throttle and full of love. She was as brave as she was kind. We are devastated by her loss but comforted by the incredible community that surrounds her. Please continue to honor her by riding safe, riding free, and loving hard.”
Final Farewell
Plans are underway for a public memorial service and a Celebration of Life Ride, both expected to take place in the coming days. Details will be announced through local rider groups and community forums.
Morgan is survived by her parents, Lori and Kevin Capps, her younger brother Tanner, and an extended family of riders, friends, and admirers who now carry her memory on every road they travel.
As the engines rev and the sun sets over the Colorado mountains, the spirit of Morgan Capps lives on — not only in the roar of the bikes she loved so dearly, but in the lives she touched and the hearts she left forever changed.
Ride in power, Morgan. Your road never ends.
