e Exchange Club. Boy Scout Troop 1 had a special place in Steve's heart. While bringing up his sons, both of whom earned the rank of Eagle Scout, Steve spent many weekends and weeks camping in all weathers with the boys and dads of Troop 1. He traveled as a scoutmaster to Philmont Scout Ranch and Boundary Waters with his sons and other scouts. Steve loved to be outdoors, whether it was hunting, fishing, or hiking with the many close friends he shared laughs with throughout the years. More than anything else, Steve was a family man. He worked tirelessly on behalf of his family, and still always had time to care, teach, and laugh. He also always had time to throw his tools in the back of his truck and help anybody who needed a hand. Preceded in death by: his parents. Survived by: his devoted wife Jane (Carr) Murphy and his three children, of whom he was exceptionally proud--Kevin, Daniel (Narmina) and Hannah. His special mother-in-law, Donna "The Biddy" Carr. Also, his three siblings, William (Shelley) Murphy, Colleen (Chuck) Knapp, and Cathy (Andy) Mills; four sisters-in-law; and many nieces and nephews. Lastly, Steve is survived by three very well-behaved Labradors: Faith, Hope, and Joy. To read the full obituary, please click here: http://www.lockefuneralhome.com/obituaries/steven-michael-murphy
