Patrick “Pat” T. Murphy, age 72, of Morris, Alabama, passed away on Saturday July 29, 2023. He was born in Jasper, Alabama on October 24, 1950, to Talmadge and Augustine Murphy. He will be greatly missed and remembered fondly by all those who knew and loved him.
Pat was preceded in death by his father, Talmadge Murphy.
Pat had a love for airplanes. He became a skilled pilot, spending countless hours soaring the open skies in his Cessna 150. Whether it was flying to Cullman or down to Florida, the cockpit was where he felt most at home.
Beyond his passion for aviation, Pat loved the outdoors. He enjoyed fishing and camping with his sister Debby. He was a loving father, son, brother, "Pop-Pop", and a loyal friend, always ready to lend a hand.
He is survived by his mother, Augustine Murphy, sisters, Melissa (Johnny) Harvella, Debby Arrington, children: Cherry (Brian) Gibbs, Sharon (Raymond) Hanson, and Bryan (Peggy) Murphy and his six grandchildren, Lauren Gibbs, Callie Hanson, Chloe Hanson, Cambree Hanson, Braden Murphy, and Palmer Murphy
In lieu of a memorial service we will be having a celebration of life service at his house on August 20th, from 2– 4 pm. All are welcome to come and celebrate his life.
Professional services entrusted to W.E. Lusain Funeral Home and Crematory of Birmingham, Alabama.
