Glenn was born on February 9, 1954 in Columbus, GA to the late Thomas Carl McMurry and Martha Massengale McMurry. For over 50 years he provided his hometown the assurance of genuine care, professional expertise and true integrity when purchasing furniture. During the last half of his career, Glenn became well known in the community as the owner of McMurry’s Furniture. He retired after 26 years of successful and dedicated service. Glenn enjoyed being in the great outdoors, fishing and hunting being two of his favorite past times. He attended Evangel Temple Assembly of God.
Glenn was an amazing man who always went out of his way to help others. He loved his family and cherished the times they spent together. This dedicated husband, father, grandfather, and friend will be greatly missed by those whose hearts he touched.
Survivors include his loving and devoted wife of 24 years, Lorri McMurry; daughters, Angela Wright (Mike) of Savannah, GA, Holly Hicks (Andy) of Columbus, GA, and Miranda Gibson (Matthew) of Crestview, FL; sons, David McMurry (Christine) of Savannah, GA and Luke McMurry of Columbus, GA; stepson, Davin Green; brothers, Thomas Carl McMurry (Donna) of Suwanee, GA and Terry Lewis McMurry of Buford, GA; 11 grandchildren: Kaitlin, Kelsi, Gavin, Cole, Makenna, Parker, Rylee, Greyson, Ella, Lilly-Ann, and Carter.

Haven’t seen Glenn but a couple of times since we moved from next door 2008 timeframe.
I wanted to let you guys know after all these years, he shows up in my dream riding on his tractor. Goats got outside the fence in the road again.
I thought it was kind of strange at first that I’d dreamt about him after all these years. So l looked him up and just found out he has passed. Our hearts go out to you and family. I’m so sorry for yours and the worlds loss.
I’m so very thankful he took the time in passing to stop bye, cut up and laugh with me for a while before leaving. Even if it was in a dream or spirit passing.
Just thought you should know, after finding out. His visit, was one of the greatest blessings and saddest moments all at the same time.
I feel honored to have known your husband and father. I will forever remember him as my buddy.

When I walked into McMurray's Furniture, I was welcomed by a professional team, not pressured, and I always got beautiful furniture at affordable prices. I wondered why they closed. Now I know why. Rest in Peace, Mr. McMurray! You were an asset to our community, and will be missed!

Glenn has a heart for God. He took genuine interest in others & went above and beyond any expectation to help others. He & Lorri shared a deep connection founded in their love for God, each other, and their family. My pray is for Glenn’s family now. Glenn’s pain & struggles are over.
