Charles T. "Chuck" Murphy, age 60, of Hutto, Texas formerly of Monmouth, IL; passed away January 31, 2016 doing what he loved most, riding his motorcycle. Chuck was born July 9, 1955 in Monmouth and is the son of Ralph and Norma Murphy. He attended local schools and graduated from Monmouth High School with the class of 1973. Chuck was a very loving and helpful man. He was always willing to lend a hand in whatever way he could. He was very involved locally in the City of Hutto, serving as Board President of his HOA for eight years and holding a seat on the Planning and Zoning Committee for the City of Hutto. He was heavily involved with the Help Portrait-Austin organization and was at every Friday Night Football game on the field taking pictures. A favorite of his was playing Santa during the Holidays. His boisterous laughter would fill the room. Chuck was also an active participant of the Patriot Guard Rider's for a number of years. He loved life to the fullest and always had the answer of "it's another day in Paradise" when asked how he was by anyone. Chuck is survived by his wife, Traci (Melvin) Murphy of Hutto, his son Charles (Nicole) Murphy II of Iowa, Christopher Murphy of Colorado, Samantha (Matt) Drapella, Cody (Judelkys) Sipes, and Keegan Sells, all of Texas. He is also survived by his parents, three brothers, four sisters, four grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in his death by his brother, Randy.
Cremation rites have been accorded in Texas. A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, May 7th 2016 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at the "The Gin" at the Hutto, Texas Co-op. For more information, or to leave a condolence for Chuck's family, please visit www.turnbullfuneralhomes.com
