Timothy Murray

May 19, 1963 – February 24, 2026

Timothy Murray, 62, of Saint Clair Shores, Michigan, passed away on February 24, 2026.

Born on May 19, 1963, Timothy was the beloved son of Jane and Robert Murray. He carried forward the values of strength, loyalty, and dedication throughout his life.

Timothy was the cherished husband of Cheryl Murray, and together they built a life full of great times and laughter. He was a great and proud father to his daughter, Erika DiDomenico, and a supportive father-in-law to Michele DiDomenico. Being a father was one of his greatest joys, and he embraced that role providing guidance and protection.

He was also grateful to be an uncle, always ready with encouragement and a little humor. Timothy loved to have a good time and was happiest when surrounded by family and friends and making memories that would last a lifetime. Whether as a father, uncle, or son, he was always there for the people he loved.

Timothy was also a passionate fan of Michigan Wolverines football. Saturdays in the fall were often reserved for cheering on the Maize and Blue, celebrating victories, and holding onto hope each season. His love for the game was more than fandom - it was tradition, pride, and something he enjoyed sharing with those around him.

Timothy will now be reunited in heaven with his sister, Mary Murray, his parents, Jane and Robert Murray and his grandparents.

He is survived by his loving wife, Cheryl Murray; his daughter, Erika DiDomenico, and son-in-law, Michele DiDomenico; his sisters, Roberta Murray and Barbara Hildreth; and his brothers, David, Steven, and Brian Murray. He also leaves behind many extended family members and friends who will forever cherish his memory.

Wherever Tim went, he somehow knew someone. And if he didn't, he would by the time he left. He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered for his joy, his memorable smile, and the warmth he brought to everyone around him.
