A Sisters best Friend,
A sons' Idol.
Having Lived a full life, although, much too short, Padraics' life was taken on September 28, 2018. A needless, foolish, and devastating death.
A beautiful baby boy was born in Portsmouth, VA. on August 25, 1983 to Daniel and Teresa Murphy. Welcoming him home with love was his proud sister Marrie.
After attending school, Pad decided upon a career in construction. Besides locally, his Talents and devotion to building homes and helping others sent him to help the Mississippi victims after Hurricane Katrina. In addition, he worked in Hawaii where he was Lead-Boss.
Struggling with ADHD and asthma took a toll on Padraic. He Weakened and his inner demons prevailed. After several years, he realized the way of the Lord and the Right way of Life. all too soon though, the Heavenly Gates opened and welcomed him into the Kingdom of Love and Glory.
Padraic had several "Loves", the first being his son Michael Padraic; who was born January 22, 2010. "Mikey" was the Love of his Life. There was a strong bond between father and son.
Another love and talent was woodworking with exotic woods. He and his step-father created many beautiful pieces of art. His most recent place of happiness was on the golf course with his father.
