Brian L. Murray, 62, Dittmer

Brian Leonard Murray of Dittmer, Missouri, was born on November 25, 1959 in St. Louis, Missouri, a son to the late Leonard Everett Murray, and the late Sabina (Meyer) Murray. Brian passed away on Saturday, October 22, 2022.

Brian loved the outdoors and spending time with his brother Joe maintaining the family’s country place in Potosi. He was a devoted son, father, and grandfather. Brian was a hard worker and liked to hold court with his workmates. (He was an excellent project manager.) Brian did not have an easy life, but lived it to the fullest and with no regrets. A lesser man would have despaired of his difficulties and ailments, but Brian never gave up. His big heart and his generosity will be his legacy.
