Richard Murray Obituary

Richard Daniel Murray, age 45, passed away peacefully on November 15, 2025, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Born on May 21, 1980, Richard lived a life marked by kindness, resilience, and deep devotion to those he loved. He was preceded in death by his mother, Judy Marie Murray, whose memory he cherished throughout his life.

Richard is survived by a host of loving family members and lifelong friends who stood faithfully by his side during his illness. His strength, humor, and unwavering spirit touched everyone who knew him, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and loyalty.

A Celebration of Life gathering will be held at a later date, where family and friends will come together to honor Richard's memory and the joy he brought into their lives.
