Son of Gerald and Sara (Wiborg) Murphy.
Patrick died of tuberculosis at 16 after many years of illness. His older brother Baoth had died less than two years earlier of meningitis, just before turning 16. Their parents now had only one child left of their three, their daughter Honoria.
On hearing of Patrick's death, F. Scott Fitzgerald, an old friend of Gerald and Sara, wrote to them:
"Fate can't have any more arrows in its quiver that will wound you like these. The golden bowl is broken indeed, but it WAS golden; nothing can ever take those boys away from you now."
Honoria would go on to have three children of her own, two boys and a girl, recreating her original family and giving her parents much joy.
