Stephen Murphy can best be described as a great quiet guy who did his job every single day in an exemplary fashion. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. He set an example for everyone he worked with, helped and supported them in every way he could. My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

I'm so saddened to hear about Steve's passing. My deepest sympathies go to all his family and friends. We shared lots of stories and laughter together during lunch breaks at H Bye Construction many years ago. He always made a person smile!

Steve, when I first started working with you at H, bye, it didn't take long for us to like each other. We would have are chat about farming and living around the corner from each other and talking about your brothers and sisters and how your sister was one of my teachers in grade 5 and in the winter time was the best for us I got to work beside you and learn you wouldn't show me all your tricks but the ones you did i still use today we also took turns buying A@W for lunch. from visits at your farm to calling for help steve you were the best mechanic but most of all a good friend will miss you steve

Steve was a genius mechanic, one of the best in his field . Steve had a memory like no one I’ve ever met before, he could store parts on the shop shelves for 15+ years and would always know just where he left them and what they were for. He was an amazing guy, he will be missed by everyone at H.Bye construction.

Myself and my family are so very sorry to hear this news. Steve was a great man. Not only was he my neighbour but, I also worked with him at h bye construction. He taught me many lessons when it came to trucks . I will never forget the excitement he expressed when I told him I got my a.z license. I will miss seeing him cruising around on his gator and stopping in for a chat.
Or helping him gather up cows that somehow got out of the fence.
My condolences to the entire family.
