Micah Murphree Obituary
Micah David Murphree, beloved son, brother, and friend, passed away on May 5, 2024, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at the age of 40. Micah was born on July 27, 1983, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Randy and Deborah Murphree.
Micah had a charismatic personality and was a good friend to many. He had a great sense of humor, always finding joy in making others laugh. Micah was a devoted seeker of God and had a deep passion for understanding the Word of God. His unwavering faith in Jesus Christ was evident in all aspects of his life. One of his favorite scriptures was Philippians 1:6, "And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." (ESV Version)
Micah is survived by his parents, Randy and Deborah Murphree, and his sisters Amanda and Sharon Murphree. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Bernie and Marjorie Murphree, and Edward and Marjorie Johnson.
The funeral service will be held at Greenoaks Funeral Home in Baton Rouge, May 9, 2024. Family visiting hours will be from 11:15 am to 12 noon, followed by a wake and open viewing for friends from 12 pm to 1 pm. Interment will commence at 1 pm, with a reception to follow at Greenoaks after the service.
Micah will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his spirit and faith will continue to inspire those whose lives he touched. May he rest in peace.

The Jack Ortego family loves Micah (present tense). He spent alot of time at our house in his last years of high school and the next year or so. Micah's favorite food? Ketchup! Favorite order at Las Palmas? He didn't have one! He'd eat the free chips and salsa, then anything left on your plate! We laughed alot and we talked of serious things. God-talk much of the time back then. I missed him at my table when we lost touch for a few years, but then connected again on Messenger for a bit after we moved from Baton Rouge. I loved that boy. Right now, he's gazing in awe at his Heavenly Father and Jesus, realizing the fight was worth it. And...he's probably making them laugh. He's home. Much love to Randy, Debbie, Mandie, & Sharon

All I had to do was make eye contact across the room and he usually would bust out laughing. His infectious laugh would get me every time.
The love and closeness our class of '01 had was something truly special, even throughout a lifetime. Micah did his part to brighten my day, every Monday in school and even years after. Much love my dear friend. I'll see you in Paradise.
