Edward Murphy Thompkins Jr was the oldest of 4 children born to the late Edward Murphy and Mary Joyce Thompkins on February 7,1969 in Dayton Ohio.

Affectionately known throughout his life as Lil’ Edward, Lone Wolf, and Bald Head Murphy, Ed was always available to have a good time and laugh with. He was known for being the toughest guy in the room and a protector for his children and loved ones. Aside from the tough side that he showed to the world, he had a kind and gentle nature with those closest to him and enjoyed being a grandfather to his grandchildren and spoiling them. He will forever be missed by his family and friends.

Edward is preceded in death by both of his parents, his daughter Shahanha Thompkins, and his brother Ronald Thompkins. He leaves to cherish his memory, his brothers Dion and Demetrius Thompkins; his sister Keisha Johnson; his loving children Ashley Thompkins, Edward Murphy Thompkins 3rd, Erick Thompkins, Janessa Thompkins, and J’hanna Thompkins; the mothers of his children Kijshana Thompkins and Vanessa Perez;his 4 grandchildren, Dallas, Da’Niyah, Kai, and Messiah; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives, and friends
