Michael Charles McMurria, born April 4th 1969, left this world on February 6th 2017 at the age of 47. On November 16th 1991, Michael married Nedra Edwards. They had two children, Bryttan Michael, born in 1993, and Isabella Josephine in 2003. When asked about his early life, his mother Christine described him as a hellion. Although he was rebellious and thrilled to try crazy things, Michael was always caring and a gentleman. He was athletic in his young age and fed off his brother David's energy who he had a strong bond with until his passing to cancer in 2007. Michael was also a military veteran, serving in the 1st Desert storm War after joining the Marines in 1987. During his 8 years of service, Michael married Nedra, a girl from his home town of Pocatello in late 1991. While stationed in San Rafael, California Michael and Nedra welcomed their first child, Bryttan, in Navato California in 1993. The couple then moved back home to Pocatello to complete his education at Idaho State University where he earned multiple degrees. Following a move to the city of Boise in 1996, they resided in the Treasure Valley for a period of 21 years. During that time, they were blessed with their long-awaited daughter Isabella in 2003. Michael enjoyed motorcycles, shooting, and woodworking and was always making people laugh. He was incredibly generous and always thought of others before himself. In addition to Michael's incredible work ethic, he loved to perfect every task anyone ever asked him to accomplish and always did it with a light and happy heart. Unfortunately for Michael and his family, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder in 2012. This unfortunately led to the end of his life. Although devastated, Michaels family and friends should know that the vast majority of his life was spent filling people's hearts with joy and working extremely hard to be the best person, husband, father, and friend he could be. Michael was preceded in death by his grandfather Charles Elias Wellard, his grandmother Valere Wellard, and his brother David Christopher McMurria. Michael is survived by his wife Nedra McMurria and children Bryttan and Bella McMurria.
