Troy Lee Murphy
September 20, 1946 — March 17, 2019
The Cochran Funeral Home & Crematory of Blairsville announces Funeral Services for Troy Lee Murphy, age 72 of Douglasville who passed away at his home on March 17, 2019.
Troy was born in Union County, Georgia on September 20, 1946 to the late Glen and Dorothy Murphy. Known as a loving husband, father, and grandfather- Troy considered himself a rich man because of the family that he was blessed with. Through the health challenges he faced over the years, his faith in Christ grew more. Troy's sense of humor made him friends everywhere he went and was enjoyed by his regular meeting group at the local Waffle House. He had a knack for making people around him to feel needed and comfortable. His quick wit, self invented song lyrics, and easy going demeanor will surely be missed by his family and friends.
Troy enjoyed classic cars and had owned several over the years. The allure of the speed and having met some of his favorite drivers, made him a fan of watching the NASCAR races. He also enjoyed fishing.
He leaves behind to cherish his memory: loving wife of 53 years, Brenda Wilcoxon Murphy; daughter & son-in-law, Angela & Rick Redford; son, Douglas Murphy; and siblings, Opal (Don) Cook, Raburn (Joan) Murphy, and Ronny (Liz) Murphy. Also, sharing in his legacy are 4 grandchildren, Devin Harding, Daniel Harding, Sammy Davis, and Brook Murphy Clayborne; 1 great grandchild, Alexis Summer Harding; and numerous nieces and nephews. Troy was preceded in death by his parents; and brother, Marvin Murphy.
Funeral Services will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 20, 2019 from the Chapel of Cochran Funeral Home with Rev. Ned Wilcoxon and Rev. Randolph Jones officiating. Eulogy will be given by Opal Cook. Special music will be presented by Logan Hart, Kelly Brewer, Ned Wilcoxon accompanied by Martha Davenport. Interment will follow at New Union Baptist Church Cemetery. Gentlemen selected to serve as pallbearers are Jimmy Messimer, William Winkler, Wendall Murphy, Ranny Jones, Michael Cook, and Buster Dills. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Tuesday evening from 6 until 9 pm.
Arrangements entrusted to Cochran Funeral Home & Crematory of Blairsville.
