Tanny, Travis Murtha of Weston born September 21, 1996, was the beloved son of Cindy and Craig Murtha Tanny, brother of Brandon and Griffin Murtha Tanny tragically passed away on Sunday, May 6, 2018.
From an early age Travis had an incredible curiosity in how things worked and why. He had a brilliant mind and a gentle soul that would do anything for anyone in need. He was most at home in the wilderness, hiking or skiing a mountain or boating across the open sea. After years as a hardy Boy Scout, he earned the highest rank of Eagle Scout.
He attended the Weston public schools from Pre-K to 10th and graduated from Landmark High School in Beverly, MA.
