Officer Murphy.... thank you for your sacrafice, and serving your community! Words will never due justice to what you deserve, and loosing you to a thug on the street is both tragic and unthinkable. I wish you and your wife a lifetime of memories.

Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. "O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

No words can lessen the pain in Mrs. Murphy's heart, but may you know there are many prayers with you, your children, family, friends and coworkers of this true HERO. We will never forget, to his very young children, may they grow up to know that their daddy is a true hero.

This is so unfortunate. My heart goes out to his wife and young children. I'm a wife of a police officer and know her worst nightmare has arrived. God Bless the Murphy family and may justice be swift.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and children. Saying that Officer Murphy is a hero would be of little comfort at this point so I will just offer my sympathies, say a prayer, and thank him and his family for their sacrifice on the behalf of a grateful citizen of Phoenix.

I know of no words that will suffice. No words that are adequate. I would like for the family, friends and co-workers of Officer Travis P. Murphy to know there are folks all across this nation that will lift you up in prayer before the Alighty.
May you each experience the eternal peace, love and blessings of our Lord and Savior in the coming days.
I am very sorry for your loss.

It's a trajedy in any circumstances, but it always hits me hard when the officer leaves behind little ones, b/c I have little ones myself. I pray for the family, friends, and coworkers of this hero. As long as we, your brothers and family, have breath in our bodies, you will never be forgotten. May your family's suffering be met with love and compassion and heartfelt prayers. Your tour is over now, brother. Rest in peace.
