I've hesitated writing anything probably because I just wished it wasn't true even though it's been 11 days since he passed. I wrote this today for tomorrow's SF Chronicle about the TRULY GREAT @PrepDawg2 He wrote for @HighSchoolOnSI for two years. I had the true privilege of reading "editing" each one of his priceless weekly features. All were works of art. For all journalists, young and old, click on this link, read all his work, his passion, his life. He cared about young athletes, old coaches, underdogs. A true treasure. He died very quickly, unexpectedly, believed from a heart attack but tests still being done. Doesn't matter. All that matters now is his life, his stories, and people who remember him. si.com/high-school/au… Mourning: With a heavy heart, we learned friend, colleague and talented longtime high school sports journalist John Murphy, a San Francisco and San Bruno native, passed away Nov. 21 at age 69. The proud Serra graduate won numerous San Francisco and Los Angeles Press Club writing awards for community newspapers throughout the state and Pacific Northwest, most recently with the weekly Redlands News in San Bernardino County. His anecdotal, personal feature style, almost exclusively in the high school sports space, was unmistakable. As was his sharp wit, devotion to his craft and offbeat personality. Understated. Conscientious. Marched to the beat of his own drummer.
