Garrett J. Murphy, of Los Angeles, CA, and formerly of Braintree, MA, passed away suddenly on December 5, 2025, ascending to eternal peace. He was born on May 24, 1961, and grew up on what he fondly called the best street in Braintree, surrounded by dozens of neighborhood children who became best friends.
Garrett treasured time spent with family and friends, especially summers on the beaches of Hull and Cape Cod, and winters skiing as a member of the Massachusetts Ski Club. He was an accomplished athlete, playing hockey and football for Braintree High School. He went on to earn an engineering degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Following graduation, Garrett began his professional career in aeronautical engineering with Hughes Aircraft in Tucson, Arizona. When Hughes was later acquired by Boeing, his work took him to California. He was very proud of his outstanding achievement awards at Boeing, and the work he did launching satellites and working with a team at NASA to repair the Hubble Space Telescope.
Garrett enjoyed many years living in Los Angeles with his friend, Victor “Hugo” Luna, and beloved dog, Lucas.
He was predeceased by his parents, Robert and Phyllis (Budrick) Murphy of Braintree, MA. Garrett is survived by his siblings Patricia Murphy of Norwell, MA; Thomas (Jitta) Murphy of Fort Collins, CO; Lawrence Murphy of Portland, OR; Robert (Jayne) Murphy of Quincy, MA; and Stephen (Deborah) Murphy of Braintree, MA; as well as friends, cousins, nieces, nephews and God children.
A memorial mass at St. Clare’s will be planned for the Spring.
In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy in Garrett’s memory may be made to the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter, 11361 W. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90064.
