Dennis Kay Murray of Wellsville Utah died Thursday, February 27, 2020 in Logan, Utah. He died from complications of Pulmonary Fibrosis he battled for the last 2 years.
Born on the 10th of November 1948 to Heber Kay and Mardene Murray. Dennis grew up and resided in Wellsville, Utah his entire life. He and his father ran the Family Dairy for many years. Dennis also worked construction and drove semi’s until he started his own trucking business “Murray Transport”. He and his son drove many miles and met and gained many lifelong friends. After the passing of his son, Robert, in 2017 due to a heart attack he was left with a void in his life that he struggled with until his death.
Dennis had a witty sense of humor and enjoyed laughing, visiting with friends and family. He enjoyed spending summers at his property in Blacksmith Fork Canyon riding his side by side, and later in life he and Joan spending winters in Littlefield, Arizona.
Dennis was very proud of his children and grandchildren and enjoyed spending time with them at the kitchen table, discussing life, reminiscing, sharing stories and giving advice. (Even when not wanted). He leaves a lot of memories with the ones he loved that will be cherished.
