They shared many years of happiness together along with their children and grandchildren. “God first” was a phrase he lived by. He loved sharing his faith and Jesus with others.

I was 15 years old when Judy introduced me to the man who swept her off her feet. Johnny was dashing, charming, funny, and an amazing bright light in our big old Murphy family. John was a loving family man, a good example for his children. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Mrs. Judy, Heather, Isabella, and family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Pray that God gives you all comfort during this time. I know it’s a difficult time for all of you.
Johnny, we can’t believe you are gone! We know our loss is Heaven’s gain! Your smile was contagious and your laugh even more so! I could hear you laughing and not knowing the conversation that led to that laugh, I would catch myself laughing too! You always had a kind word for everyone….. and a word of wisdom as you were truly a disciple of Christ! You knew your Bible and weren’t afraid to share the Word! I can’t imagine our family gatherings without you standing in our circle of love offering the prayer of thanksgiving before our meal! Our circle has been broken here on earth but our family circle in Heaven gained another angel! We love you and miss you so much! Pray for us until we meet again! ✝️
