CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Stanley Leo Murphy Sr., age 67, of Clearlake passed into God’s hands surrounded by family on Feb. 24, 2020, after a courageous battle with lung cancer.

Stan was born on April 18, 1952, in San Mateo, California, to Elaine and Dave Murphy. He was the youngest of three brothers.

Stan was an incredibly generous person who was well known for his amazing smile, tell-it-like-it-is demeanor, as well as his fun and mischievous personality.
