Hugh Mason Murphree, age 44, of Thomaston, passed away peacefully on June 9, 2026. Born on August 16, 1981, in Victoria, Texas, Hugh was the son of Robert Mace and Deanna (Dee) Murphree. Hugh had a fulfilling career in Information Technology as a Network Administrator II for Hochheim Prairie Farm Mutual Insurance.
In 2008, Hugh met the love of his life, Charlene Annette Brumbelow Davis. Together they built a beautiful, blended family.
He will be deeply missed and forever cherished by his loving wife of 13 years, Charlene; his child, Braydon Murphree; and his stepchildren, Seth Stephen Davis and Amy Rose Davis. He was a devoted father and a quiet, tender soul. He was preceded in death by his father. He is survived by his mother, Dee; his sisters, Amanda (Ken) Murphree and Patricia Murphree; brothers, Mike (Melanie) Murphree, Randall (Brenda) Murphree, Dave (Andrea) Murphree, and Braydon “Dewey” (Heather) and numerous nieces and nephews, who all brought joy and laughter to his life.
Hugh will always be remembered for his calm demeanor, generous spirit, great sense of humor, and having a song for everything. He left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him, especially his nephew Evan Brumbelow, who will always remember Hugh as “Uncle”.
A celebration of Hugh’s life will be held on June 13, 2026, at 7 p.m. at Authentic Church, located at 610 E. Crestwood, Victoria, Texas 77901.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Thomaston Volunteer Fire Department, an organization Hugh held close to his heart.
