Dayton was born August 3, 1991 in Marshfield, the son of David and Janalee (Breheim) Murphy.  He was a graduate of Marshfield Senior High, later attending Herzing University in Madison where he attained his BA degree in graphic design. Dayton was employed at Broan NuTone Company located in Hartford.

His hobbies included hanging out with his friends playing some Dungeons and Dragons. His fellow D & D players often commented that Dayton was the BEST Dungeon Master bringing so much creativity and design to the game. Other hobbies included video gaming with his fellow gamers and playing cribbage with family every time he was home visiting.  Dayton also held a special love for all animals. His kindness and humility were so much a part of who Dayton was. He will be sadly missed.

Survivors include his parents: David and Janalee Murphy of Chili; his brother Dakota (Amy) Murphy of Madison; his niece Gianna Murphy of Madison; his maternal grandmother Betty Breheim of Marshfield along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, fellow gamers and many friends. 

Dayton was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents Donald and Carol Murphy, his maternal grandfather DuWayne Breheim, his uncle Robert Murphy and his beloved guinea pig “Pikachu”
