In Loving Memory of Steven Anthony Murphy, lovingly known as "Swerv" by those closest to him, was called home by the Lord on January 5th, taken from us too soon. He was cherished by many, including his devoted parents, Melissa (Lew) and Steve (Heather); his beloved sons, Angelo and the late Armani; his younger brothers, Nate and Mason; and his younger sisters, Alicia, Ashlyn, Tori, and Abigail. He leaves behind countless other family members and friends who loved him deeply, including grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins.
Steven had a passion for life, especially for cars, dirt bikes, and his many dogs-most notably his loyal companion, Draco. He found joy in spending time with family and took pride in his hard work. Though his time with us was brief, his memory will live on forever in the hearts of those who knew him.
Steven is preceded in death by his beloved son, Armani, whom he is now reunited with, along with many other cherished family members and friends who have gone before him. He is now at peace, embraced by love, and will be forever missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Rest easy, Steven. Your spirit will never be forgotten.
A celebration of life will be held at a later time. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to a trust for Angelo, which will be established in the near future. Please check back for further details, or feel free to contact the family for information on how you can contribute.
