Chet L. Murray

Chet Leonard Murray, of Groton, CT was granted his angel wings on August 23rd, 2020. His final weeks were spent surrounded by family and friends that had touched in some small way throughout his short, yet very memorable life.

Chet’s life would seem too short to many. However, those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. His big  gentle smile, His anxiousness,  his knowledge , so much joy to those who surround him whether it was family, friends, or just some random person walking. 

Chet gave us all such courage and hope and reminded us of the preciousness of life.  He loved to fish, sit outside, and to spend time with his family and close friends. He could spend hours with his loving wife and supportive friends just sitting outside listening to his country or classic music grilling watching his grandkids feed squirrels. 

Chet is survived by his loving Wife,  Bette-Jo Murray. Children, Chelsea Revuelta, and Chet Murray,  Son-in-law Raul Revuelta. Mother,  Jackolene Murray. Mother-in-law Shirley Harrington. Sister  Kathy Overton, Pam Tate, and Julie Murray. Brothers, George Overton, David Murray and Philip Murray. Grandkids, Gabriel Ramos and Brayden Revuelta.  Chet was pre-deceased by his father David Andrew Murray.
