Murray Kane

In Loving Memory of Murray Kane September 12, 1951 – July 27, 2025

Murray Kane, formerly from Los Angeles, CA, passed away in Westerville, OH on July 27, 2025 at the age of 73. He is survived by his loving family, wife Cindy, daughter Alexandra, son-in-law Austin, grandson Kaden, and brother Dennis. He was preceded in death by his sister Lauren and his parents Jack Kane and Ione Green.

Murray was a force of nature—smart, passionate and opinionated, with a wonderful sense of humor. His life's calling was caring for others, a mission he fulfilled through his work as a counselor. Among his most treasured contributions was his time walking the streets of Hollywood, helping those with dual diagnoses of substance abuse and mental health challenges get off the streets. He was able to connect deeply to those he served. Through the grace of God, Murray celebrated 38 years of sobriety this year.

Murray had many passions. He found joy in cooking for others, spending time with his beloved animals, diving into a good book, camping and listening to music, especially the blues.

His family and friends would like everyone to know how profoundly he will be missed, and how loved and valued he made them all feel. Their lives were richer, deeper and lighter because of his presence.

According to his wishes, there will be a private celebration of life with his family.
