Daniel G. Murphy

On March 14, 2023, in Gaithersburg, MD. Danny was born in Washington, DC, on July 5, 1961, to the late Judy A. and George W. Murphy, Jr. He was a 1979 graduate of St. John's College High School and continued his studies at Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg, Md. Danny is survived by wife Vohn and son Keefer, as well as sisters Linda Motta, Mary Colleen Cubbedge (Randy), and brothers George W. III, (Lu Ann), Michael (Lia) and Patrick (Cakkie). He is also survived by 21 nieces and nephews.

Friends may call at DeVol Funeral Home, 10 East Deer Park Dr., Gaithersburg, MD on Friday, March 24 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, Quesada St. at Western Ave., on Saturday, March 25, at 1:30 pm.

Interment private at a later date.

Danny had decades of experience in construction and specifically, carpentry and drywall, where he easily solved even the most complicated of projects around the jobsite or in the home. He was extraordinarily generous volunteering his time and assisting others whether family, friends or those he just met. When necessary, he would even outflank your procrastination and get you to your desired outcome. A true craftsman, he never cut corners or compromised his quality of work when he donated his time and sweat equity to others. Injuries over time led Danny to a career change from construction to self-employed driver; as Danny would say, “people, packages or paper”. Danny’s affable personality would bring either a level of joy or solace, particularly when assisting the elderly or those needing help in a stressful situation. He would always avail himself to help others and was a treasured friend to many. Simply put, Danny was always there when you needed him.

As talented and generous to others as Danny was, it paled in comparison to his love and commitment as husband to Vohn and a father to Keefer. Danny was an avid reader, who also loved to fish and spend time at the family’s cabin near Hawley, PA.
