Murl was proceeded in death by his loving wife in whom he adored, Sarah Davis; his sisters, Lois Dougharty, Nell Shirley, and Juanita Hales; brothers, Harry C. Davis and Cecil Davis. Those left to cherish his memory are a host of nieces and nephews.
When he retired, Murl worked for Dallas Arboretum where his skills for everything green really came to life. The famous line became in the family, "if he planted it-it would for sure grow". Up until the end, Murl was still very active in his gardening and if one were to visit the property where he resided-you will still be able to see the tender love and care, Murl gave to the several trees that still stand as a memorial to him. Murl, shy of 101, would make himself bacon and eggs every single morning for breakfast.
He was a loving husband, brother , uncle and friend. He will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him. The fire he had his entire life was still burning up until his very last breath.
