Michael Allen McMurphy, 62, of Moultrie, died Sunday, June 8, 2025, at his home.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Born on July 8, 1962, in Moultrie, Georgia, he was the son of James William McMurphy and Mary Louise Cox McMurphy. A dedicated farm laborer, Michael took pride in his hard work and strong work ethic. He enjoyed the rhythm of working the land and the satisfaction that came from a job well done. When not working, he could often be found in his yard, gardening with care and devotion.
Michael loved spending time outdoors, especially riding four-wheelers and watching NFL games—always cheering on his favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys. His easygoing spirit and warm personality made him a friend to many, and he will be remembered for the joy he brought into the lives of others.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers and sisters, Wilma Jean Williams, Effie Irene Gibson, Shelia Dianne Brooks, Gary Lamar McMurphy and Larry Eugene McMurphy.
He is survived by his son, Michael Stevenson McMurphy of Ray City; daughter, Silence Grace McMurphy; and siblings, Betty Lou and BB Pope, Carolyn Ann and Jack Gibson, James Ronnie and Kathy McMurphy, Bobbie Jean McCook, Virginia Ann and Joey Meads, Harold Junior and Debbie McMurphy and Leonard Craig and Dana McMurphy; and several nieces and nephews.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Baker Funeral Home & Crematory.
