John Murphy

Mr. John Dennie Murphy of Campbellsville, son of the late Charlie W. Murphy and Daisy Hoosier Wright, passed from this life on Thursday, March 14, 2019 at his home. Born on November 21, 1955, he was 63 years, 3 months, and 21 days of age. He had made a profession of faith in Christ and was a member of White’s Ridge Baptist Church. Mr. Murphy, or Dennie, as he was commonly known, was a former logger and security guard for Parker-Kalon, and managed the BP Station on Highway 70 many years.
