John M. Murphy of Marshfield, passed suddenly on February 8, 2019 at the age of 59. Beloved husband of Kimberly (Poeschl) Murphy, he was the loving father of Charlotte Boddell of Cohasset, Mark Maddy of Plattsburgh, NY, John M. Murphy, Michael Murphy of Ohio, Ian Murphy and his wife Kimberly of Halifax, Joshua Burba of Allston, and Brianna Burba of Marshfield, and grandfather to 8 grandchildren. Dear brother of Helen Hyde, Mary Murphy, Frederick Murphy, and the late Edward Murphy and Kay Goodwin.

As we say goodbye to a man who has impacted so much more than our own lives, we acknowledge that he has done so much for more than we could have imagined. From coaching youth football and baseball for over a decade, and mentoring countless Marshfield youths, to developing and cultivating the leaders of tomorrow, Murph stands as the example of what a man is to be. His tireless work ethic and dedication to the betterment of all those around him, Murph was one to assist those unwilling to help themselves and the first to come to the aid of those in need. Murph left behind him a legacy and standard that we will all strive to attain and few can achieve.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life Service on Saturday, February 16, 2019 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the Marshfield Elks Hall, 1321 Ocean Street, Marshfield.
