Murphy and Joyce Murphy.  Pat's passions were hunting, ranching, cooking, and watching western movies. He also loved country-western music and was a devoted fan of Garth Brooks.  Always a fan of NFL football, his favorite team was the Dallas Cowboys. He loved the Texas hill country but was in heaven when visiting the mountains of New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah.  Pat was crazy about the dogs that he had over the years, Chelsea, Cassie, Chulo, Major, and Sugar.  He enjoyed being outdoors. Growing up, he spent a lot of time with his granddad who taught him how to hunt and fish.  Pat met his wife Joan McCall in high school. They married and went on to have four sons.  Pat made a career out of ranching and farming in his early years and then later became a restauranteur for over 18 years.
