Gregory James Murphy

2020 in Morrison, Colorado.

He was a proud Coloradoan and graduate of Denver’s George Washington High School, class of 1983.

He was a natural born athlete and leader on the football and lacrosse teams. Greg enjoyed fly fishing,

owning a Willys jeep, caring for his beloved cat King, and spending time in the Colorado high country.

He started a house painting business with his lifelong friend Greg Pratt.

Greg wanted to be a positive force in the world. He replied, “right on” to almost any idea and cared

deeply about his family and friends. Greg had a strong spiritual commitment and his prayer list was

long. When he said he would pray for you, you knew you were in good hands! He was bright and

engaging, befriending everyone he met. Mental illness and multiple sclerosis overtook much of his

adult life, but his sweet soul sought to shine through.

He is survived by his mother, Carol Kaye Murphy, his sisters Cynthia Murphy, Julie Murphy Seavy, and

Jennifer Murphy, and brother Timothy Murphy, and nieces and nephews of whom he was intensely

proud, Allyson Murphy, Caitlyn Murphy Dunn, Kacey Murphy Brandt, Ryan Seavy, Kellen Seavy Kaye,

Brenna Murphy Estus, Hayden Murphy Estus, Maeve Murphy Estus, Parker Landry Murphy, and

Westley Landry Murphy, and great niece and nephew Khloe and Jackson Kaye. His father, David Alan

Murphy, preceded him in death.
