ATLANTA, GA – Georgia House Democratic Caucus mourns the loss of State Representative Quincy Murphy (D – Augusta).

“His involvement in the community of Augusta and dedication to the State will always be remembered, and he will be deeply missed,” said Rep. Wayne Howard. “I am honored to have called him a friend.”

He also served as treasurer of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus.  A recognized businessman, Rep. Murphy worked in the insurance and financial services industries in Augusta beginning in 1979. He was a member of the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Augusta, where he was a deacon, former Trustee Ministry Chairman, and former Church Treasurer.
