Rev. V Kenneth Murr was born June 12, 1929, in Steger, Illinois, to Roy Erkle and Lena Turner Murr. He died Wednesday, May 1, 2019, in Owasso, Oklahoma, at the age of 89 years. Ken was married June 10, 1950, in Los Angeles, California, to the love of his life, Tierra Jeanne Baker. They had made their home in Owasso, Oklahoma, since 1969. He spent most of his working life as a comptroller with Crane Carrier in Tulsa. His greatest love, however, was his love for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He had pastored and started numerous Four Square Church’s and was a founding member of Christ’s Church of Owasso. He served as an Elder on the church board and as church treasurer. He and Tierra enjoyed their time together in church ministry, but also time spent raising and showing their beloved paint horses. His grandchildren and great grandchildren always put the biggest smile on his face, no matter their age or size. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Lloyd Murr and Coy Murr, and his beloved wife of over 68 years, Tierra Murr.
