We Remember

MURPHY, Chad Allen

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.

    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
