Michael MURPHY Obituary

MURPHY, Michael Andrew 60, was welcomed home by Jesus on March 2, 2023. He was preceded in death by his sister, June; mother, Betty Jo; and father, George. Born in Detroit, Michigan on September 27, 1962, Mike will be remembered as a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. Mike loved God and his family above all and was full of kindness and humor. He loved helping people, especially as a longtime Realtor in Pinellas County. He enjoyed staying active; some of his other loves included hiking, biking, playing the piano, reading, gardening and nature. He is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Kim; son, Matthew; daughters, Erin and Kaylie; grandchildren, Molly, Teagan and Colton; brothers, Clyde, Patrick, Forrest and John; and his large extended family. A celebration of life service will be held on April 1 at 10 am at 5th Avenue Baptist Church, 4901 5th Ave. N. in St. Petersburg. He will be profoundly missed.

I am thankful my family and I was able to attend Mike's memorial service today. I had many occasions to be involved with the music with Mike at church.

Mike was a longtime, dear friend whose big smile, sense of humor, and kindness will be missed by all who knew him. We know that God has taken him home to rest and that he is at peace after many months of suffering. We will continue to pray for you, Kim, Kaylie, Erin and Matthew, as you grieve the loss of this truly good and Godly man.

Susie and Dave Anderson.

I thought it had to be another Mike Murphy, not him. A total shock to all of us who have done business with the Murphy boys. I'm sure God sent a very special angel to bring him home. God Bless the Murphy Family.
