Joe Norman Murray

July 14, 1973 — April 29, 2022

Funeral services for Joe Norman Murray, 48, of Lufkin, will be held Thursday, May 5, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. in the McNutt Funeral Home chapel with Pastor Corey Wilson officiating. Interment will follow at Hillcrest Cemetery. The family will welcome friends and loved ones from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, in the McNutt Funeral Home Chapel. Mr. Murray was born July 14, 1973, in Lufkin, Texas to Paula Bosquez and the late Dennis Ray Murray Sr., and passed away surrounded by his loved ones on Friday, April 29, 2022, at a local hospital. Joe was a loving son, brother, and father. He was known to some as a charmer, others as a cheapskate, a side-seat driver to Maverick, and a comedian to all. His sense of humor kept everyone on their toes and he was the life of the party. Joe enjoyed bowling, golf, woodworking, and eating; his favorite food was anything momma cooked. He genuinely disliked driving- but constantly complained about Maverick’s driving. His legacy will continue on through each of those he loved and impacted- and you may see the clouds open up when the Longhorns score or win a game. (Hook ‘em!) Joe leaves behind to cherish his memory: his son Maverick Murray; his daughter, Mercedes Bara; his mother, Paula Murray; his best friend, Deanna Layton; his brothers, Abel, Albert, and Mike Bosquez, Michael Murray Sr., Daniel, and Justin Murray; his sisters, Brenda and Minnie Murray. He was preceded in death by his father, Dennis Ray Murray Sr., and his brother, Dennis Ray Murray Jr.
