NAPLES — David Michael Murphy Jr., 58, passed away unexpectedly Monday, Aug. 18, 2014.

He was born in Cambridge, Mass., the son of the late David M. Murphy Sr., and Mary B. (Murphy) Stanley. He was the cherished husband of Angela Murphy and loving father of Laura M. Murphy of Somerville, Mass., and his “pups,” Sophie and Fred and the late Buster and Daisy.

His entrepreneurial spirit drove him to different business opportunities and working on the next challenge, while his caring and compassionate nature nurtured his love for animals. Family and friends recall his amazing storytelling capabilities and overall giving spirit and generosity.

David is survived by his siblings, Cheryl Lombard of Cape Elizabeth, Wayne Murphy of Andover, N.H., Rhonda Lamb of Windham and Mary-Rita Reinhard of Naples; and several nieces and nephews.
