I will always remember Tom for making me laugh at work every day. RIP my Brother.

My heart goes out to all the Family. I love you each and every one. My heart grieves with You. I wish I could reach out and hug You. 😢

I remember when I was pregnant and needed a middle name for my son and Tom said name him after me Thomas lol I said ok Steven Thomas it is! You were the GOAT Tom for sure you will be missed. Heaven sure did get a good one. RIP

The Measley Family sends our sincere condolences to the Murphy family. 
May our Heavenly Father comfort each one. We love y’all very much! 
Tom and  Mike were friend before he met Vivian they worked together and lifted weights and we played euchre together and hung out. We actually fixed  up Viv and Tom and guess what it was a match that worked out and made me happy for the Murphy family because Tom had great values and he loved my sister.  He worked hard and provided everything for his family. 
He will be missed terribly.

Never ever will my life be the same without you here!

Best Dad a girl could ask for! ❤️💔

My sincere condolences go out to the Murphy's family. I know for sure that a sweet soul has been lost. If love could have brought him back, he would be here with us. Your tears are my tears. Each sob shook me. Tom, you will be missed. Sleep and take your rest. We love ❤️ you but Jesus loves you more. Brooke, be encouraged. Your dad has finished his race.

Tom, Thank you for your service as a police officer, ur dedication and commitment to protecting and serving the public.    Thank you for the police patches you gave my boys for their dad when we came to visit. Their dad proudly framed and displayed them with his other patches. But most of all, thank you Tom,  for loving my dear friend Vivian  and her family. You were her knight in shining armor. You filled her life and brought out the best in her.  You touched the heart of many and your legacy will live on through them. So, now go rest high with the Lord. Your work here on   earth is done and  “ your watch has ended”. RIP, Tom👮‍♂️ 🙏

From April, Betty and Polly Shepherd we give our deepest sympathies for your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family. Love you Like a sis!

My sincere condolences to the family and to the Riviera Beach police Department family.  I met him and saw him often. He was always very nice and friendly.  May God’s Grace wrap his family in Love.
