Visit the Legacy Remembers website to view the full obituary.
Scott Anthony Murphy, 35, passed away unexpectedly August 8, 2025 in Rogue River, Oregon. He was born February 14, 1990 in Stockton, California to Patrick Joseph and Josephine Lucille (Goonan) Murphy.

Scott had a deep love for his Catholic faith, his family, and the beauty of God's creation. He especially enjoyed spending time at the gym, hiking and being in nature, and listening to music. Scott also had an overwhelmingly generous heart. Even if he had only his last few dollars in his pocket, he would give them to someone in need, and he delighted in finding thoughtful little gifts to give others.

Scott is survived by his parents, Patrick and Josephine; his siblings, Jessica Jo, Jennifer Jo, Sean Patrick, Jamie Jo Aurora, Paul Joseph, Brian Francis, Julianna Marie, JoAnn Marie, Mary Amelia, Kevin Thomas and David Matthew; as well as many beloved nephews and nieces, brothers- and sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

For those who would like to join our family in praying for the soul of Scott:

His Funeral Mass will be on Monday, August 25th at 2:00 PM at St. Anne Catholic Church (1131 NE 10th St, Grants Pass, Oregon), preceded by the Rosary at 1:15 PM.

Burial will follow at Hillcrest Cemetery, with a reception in the parish hall afterward. If you'd like to bring a side dish or dessert to share, it would be appreciated.

We are so very grateful for the continued prayers for Scott and our whole family.

I have known Janis Goonan my whole life (and Larry) and I know just how much your family means to both of them. When she told me about your loss I could feel the pain and sorrow through the phone 3,000 miles away. I was actually on the phone with her while she was booking the airline tickets so they could be there with you and the family.
I certainly hope you and your family find the strength and comfort you need to get through this difficult time.
May the memories of your loved one live in your hearts forever.
Rest in peace, Scott.
Xoxo,
Donna Elsberry
