John William Murphy, born May 10, 1956, returned to His Holy Father’s embrace on August 30, 2016.
Survived by loving daughter Melissa Alanna Murphy of Lake Forest, California, Mother Margaret S. Murphy, Brothers James and Michael Patrick Murphy, Sisters Mary Murphy Childs, Anne Murphy Ellison, Julia Margaret Murphy and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Kenneth James Murphy.
John was a devoted and loving son, father, and sibling in a large Irish Catholic family. In 2015 John retired to Trinidad after a long and successful career as a compassionate and professional Radiology Technician that spanned from Los Angeles, CA to Ketchikan, Alaska. A member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, John, who knew no strangers, chose the Trinidad community because he deeply appreciated the sincerity and kindness of everyone he met in this magnificent corner of God’s great creation.
Life Celebration Mass is in his childhood hometown of Atlanta Georgia on Wednesday, September 7, 2016 at St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations in John’s memory to Holy Trinity Catholic Church.
Arrangements made under the direction of Comi Funeral Home
