He was deployed with the UK contingent of NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Spr Moralee died in an accident at Camp Bastion while preparing engineer plant equipment for redeployment out of theatre.
Aged 23, he was from Ryton. He joined the army from school aged 17 in January 2008 and trained as an armoured engineer, learning to operate and maintain a variety of armoured engineer vehicles. He gained experience on many exercises in Canada and Germany. Spr Moralee deployed on his first tour of Afghanistan in March 2011 and crewed the Trojan armoured vehicle clearing legacy minefields and improvised explosive devices. In mid 2013, Spr Moralee successfully passed his Pre Non-Commissioned Officer Cadre and was due to be promoted to Lance Corporal later this year. He deployed in September 2013 for his second tour in Helmand and was lauded as an exceptional soldier and promising leader. He enjoyed a variety of sports, above all football, which he played regularly and followed as a supporter of Newcastle United.
Spr Moralee leaves behind his parents Lynn and Darren, grandparents Tom, Margaret and Myra and fiancée Emma. His family said, "Adam was a loving son, fiancé, and friend who touched everyone's hearts that came into contact with him. His passion for cars and anything with an engine made him a true petrol head through and through. Adam touched the hearts of all of us who were lucky to know him and not a day will go by where he is not in our thoughts and hearts. He will be sorely missed by family and friends and forever loved by all. Rest in peace son!"
Funeral with full military honours was held on March 28, 2014 at St Nicholas Cathedral, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
