I hadn't seen Mike in over 10 years, but had heard from his good friend Jeff Reeder, Class of 70', that he had a heart attack at his home near Boerne within the last couple of years. He was a very creative/talented & good person.
Mike's daughter Annabelle sent me this obituary from almost 12 years ago to be posted here.

Mike "Hank" Murray, 56 yrs. young, was called Home on August 12th, 2009. He was born June 6, 1953, in Tulsa, OK, to Jack & Jeanne Murray. Raised in San Antonio, he attended Roosevelt & MacArthur H.S. He worked as a graphic designer, comic illustrator, musician and stay-at-home dad. He founded the Spank Sinatra Swing Band. He is loved by his wife, Brenda, and their 4 daughters: Katie, Kelsey, Lacey, and Annie; the boyfriends: Kevin Carpenter, Ben Ryan, and Elliot Comerio; brother, Kevin Murray; loving sister-in-law, Linda Turner; brother-in-law, David King & family of TN; in-laws; Margie Turner, Rick Turner, Rob Turner and wife, Cindy; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, close friends, and beloved pets; Harvey, Zoey and Precious.
I grew up with Mike a few streets over and considered Mike a great friend. I was always amazed at his artistic talents and in many ways envied him for them. Even though I had not seen him for many years the notice of his death in 2009 sadden me. He will be missed.
