He was always the first to help anyone in need. Murry developed a love for the people of Ghana as a volunteer with the humanitarian group America Helps. He was looking forward to his trip in November. His daughter Karlee and his niece Margaret will go in his place continuing his legacy. At the time of his death he was serving in his favorite calling on the Stake High Council. He developed a close relationship with the men he served with.
