Michael T. Murphy left this world August 12, 2021, surrounded by family and friends. Mike was born on February 5th, 1962 in Redlands, CA to Rolland and JoAnn Murphy. They then moved to Hurricane, UT where the family grew by 4 siblings. At 9 years old, Mike and his family moved to Kearns/Taylorsville, UT where he spent the rest of his childhood. Mike graduated from Kearns High School in 1980. As the oldest sibling, Mike cherished his only sister and 3 younger brothers. As children, he and his siblings were known for running together in a pack and always being there for each other. In 1989, Mike married his lifelong best friend, Tina Tyrrell. Together they had 3 amazing boys to complete their family. Mike’s greatest joy in life was his boys and the time they spent together. As a family, they spent most of their time at the dirt track, sprint car racing with BTM Racing and at the sand dunes riding their toys. Mike had an extreme passion for racing but was also known for his love he had for the Raiders! Mike enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, playing darts, and anything that involved spending time with his boys, family, and friends. Mike leaves behind 3 loving sons, Brandon, Josh (Sierra), and Jordan, his bonus son, Beni Williams, ex-wife & best friend, Tina, sister Cheryl, brothers Kevin (Valarie), Darren (Samantha), Joe and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Rolland Thell and JoAnn Lively. Huge thank you to Sierra Redding and Suncrest Hospice. A celebration of life will be held September 11, 2021.
