St. Augustine, Florida – With great sadness and deep respect, we announce the passing of David C. Murphy, a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, who departed this life on July 22, 2025, at the age of 68. David’s life was one of strength, love, and quiet generosity—one that touched countless people and left behind a legacy of compassion, wisdom, and unwavering devotion to family and community.
A Life Marked by Love and Character
Born on January 22, 1957, David grew up with a strong moral foundation and a deep appreciation for family. Throughout his life, he carried himself with humility and grace, always seeking to uplift others and provide support where it was needed. Whether through a kind word, a helping hand, or a moment of shared laughter, David made people feel seen, valued, and cared for.
He was a man who led by example—loyal, patient, and grounded in principle. As a husband, he was deeply devoted, sharing decades of partnership and unwavering love with his wife. As a father, he was a guide, protector, and role model who instilled strong values in his children and led with quiet strength.
To his friends and siblings, David was a constant—steadfast and sincere. He was a storyteller, a listener, a source of strength during hard times, and a celebrant of good ones. His warmth and sense of humor created lasting bonds, and his authenticity made him someone everyone was grateful to know.
