Murrill grew up in Raytown Missouri, met his wife Dorothy and began their journey in life. Their marriage lasted 55 + years. He moved the family to Texas in 1962 to further his family’s construction business. The business flourished and became a prominent name in the Houston area. He enjoyed so many activities in his life.

He called square dancing, loved bowling, golf, playing cards, metal detecting and camping. He had an amazing ability to literally do anything, he set his mind to. So many wonderful memories. He will always be remembered for his quick wit, huge heart and the ability to make you laugh and smile. His faith and trust in God were always evident in his life and his example will be carried in our hearts in the days to come. He wrote Psalm 23 down for each of us to carry. Those words now comfort us all.

We will be celebrating his life on Saturday May 13 – visitation is from 1 to 2:45 p.m followed by the funeral at 3 p.m. with the graveside burial in Pattison. There will be a celebration reception at the American Legion Hall, 1630 Meyer St., Sealy.
