John Edward "Murt" Murtaugh

I got tattooed by Murt when he came out to Denver for a guest spot. It was after a rough part of my life and I got a tattoo based off a song that got me through that period to remind me to keep on loving, keep on fighting. It still helps me whenever I need it and I think of him often.

So very sorry for your loss. Praying for all.

Murt and I always use to talk and play video games together introducing me to his other friends that he grew up with. He was one of a kind and was very talented in this World. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.

I worked with Murt briefly during the end of his apprenticeship. Always so quiet and gentle. The tattoo community is less without him. Rip

I never got to meet John "Murt" but I do know him through one of the people that loved him the most, his grandmother Becky. Her last visit to Detroit recently was full of stories about him and how proud she was of him. I have worked with Becky for many years and she has become my work "mom" and I feel like a part.of my family is gone now, too. My heart goes out to this wonderful family and remember your Michigan family is here for you.

I never had the pleasure of meeting John but I know he was the light of his grandmother Becky's life. My deepest sympathy to the Murtaugh family. My thoughts are with you all

My brother and I got tattoos from Murt. It was my first tattoo and I was really scared but he was so kind and treated us really well. He was so talented and made the process fun and painless. Our tattoos from him are so well done. My brother and I were so shocked sorry to hear of his passing. We send our condolences to his family and loved ones.

Condolences to Becky-John and John and Family May John "Murt" Rest In Peace

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
