Jonathan B. Murphy

Jonanthan Murphy passed away peacefully at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune after a long battle with cancer. He will be remembered for his love of family, his patriotic spirit, and his willingness to always lend a helping hand.

Jonathan attended Hargrave Military Academy and graduated from Manchester High School in 1999 and enlisted into the Marine Corps for which he had a lifelong love and respect for.

He is survived by his wife, Samantha, his children Christopher Jonathan, Joslyn Marie, and Kayla Rose.

He is also survived by his stepmother Linda Murphy, his mother Patricia Sanford and her husband Curtis Leach, his twin brother, Miles Murphy and his fiancé Danielle Tammaro, his sisters, Sarah and her husband Kevin Pavao and Erin Clancy, brother Matthew and his wife Patricia Clancy and stepsisters, Heather Reibsame and Kelly Denelsbeck & her husband Michael.

Jonathan became a commercial truck driver and tow truck driver. Beyond his work, Jonathan’s true passion was reenacting Revolutionary War battles with several reenactment groups including the 2nd NJ Infantry – Helm’s Company, the Continental Marines, as well as Trevet’s Company. Through these passions, he became a mentor to younger men entering the hobby and a loyal friend to many who grew to view him as family.

Jonathan’s presence will be sorely missed by everybody who loved him.

Semper Fidelis, Jonathan
