Timmy Glynn Murphy, age 64, of Arkansas, passed away leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and generosity.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Mildred Outlaw; sister, Sondra Wallace; and his dear friend, Tracy Strange. He is survived by his twin sister, Tammy Watt of Crossett, AR; his daughter, Jennifer Deshazer and husband Jason of Dallas, TX; his son, T.J. Murphy Jr. of Hampton, AR; his beloved grandchildren, Dylan, Jase, and Alaina Deshazer, and Allison Murphy; step father, Waylon Outlaw of Crossett, AR. He also leaves behind his nieces and nephews, Mandy Lee, Heather DeLess, Wesley Watt, and Brandon Watt of Crossett, AR, along with many great-nieces and nephews who adored him.
Tim was born and raised in Crossett, AR, where he graduated high school before later moving to Monticello to start his family and pursue his passion for cooking. He managed several restaurants throughout his career and even fulfilled his dream of owning his own place, TimBo’s. Cooking wasn’t just a job for Tim - it was his way of showing love, and he found joy in feeding others.
Known for his giving spirit, Tim never met a stranger. He cherished his friendships and was always ready to lend a hand to anyone in need. His heart of gold and unique outlook on life left a lasting mark on all who knew him.
Tim had many passions beyond the kitchen. He loved Asian culture and martial arts, especially Kung Fu, and admired Bruce Lee. He was an avid sword collector, a martial arts enthusiast, and a dedicated collector of coins, antiques, and memorabilia. His quirky sense of humor, big heart, and one-of-a-kind perspective made him unforgettable.
Tim’s life was full of love, laughter, and generosity - qualities that will continue to live on through his family and friends.
