I knew Michael Murray well from 2018-2023. I sometimes saw him at school in recent years when I substitute taught. He was someone who had a passion for life and a sensitive side. He wanted things to be right in his universe and he strived for his ideal. He demonstrated high amounts of energy to those he loved. He also loved his job and tried hard to keep Piedmont clean and safe. With God's blessings to the family.
