MURPHY, Chad Allen
—
Service: Saturday, February 4th at 2:00 pm
Location: Oyama Hall
It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our son and brother, Chad, on Friday, January 27, 2012. He will be sadly missed by his loving family: parents Sandra and Al, his brother Clayton, paternal grandmother, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many, many friends. Chad was an energetic, hard-working leader with a charismatic and captivating smile. He took the time for everyone he met and would give you the shirt off his back. Soccer, boxing and the ocean were just a few of the things he enjoyed. Chad loved his family, friends and his dogs. A celebration of Chad’s life will be held on Saturday, February 4th at 2:00 pm at the Oyama Hall, with Becky Vink officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Chad’s memory to any charity for the less fortunate.

I am speechless, as I am sure words for you all are even more difficult! Our most sincere heartfelt condolences. Chad has touched so many through out his caring/loving years that he may be gone, but he will truly never be forgotten! I have a wee bit of smile just remembering the fun all our kids had playing together at the ball games.
Love to you all…

Dear Clayton, Sandra and Al;
I met Chad (and Clayton) one summer with Laurie Moore at a Church gathering in Kelowna a number of years back. I shall never forget how much fun we had that summer.
My heart goes out to you at this time. Chad’s heart was true, steadfast and genuine. He will never be forgotten.
May you find strength in the love and support of those around you. Sending you lots of love. Laura

Dear Sandra, Al, and Clayton,
I am so sorry for your loss. I only met Chad once, but since our famillies work so close together, and with all the stories you told me i felt like i knew him as well as i know you all. Sandra, you always lit up when you’d tell me stories about your boys, keep these memories close and think of them when your missing him. Share the stories with everyone, make them laugh. It always worked on me. Keep Chad’s memory alive. Lots of love from the Hays.xox
