David Murphey, who appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days and 90 Day Diaries, died at his home in Las Vegas on December 11. A social media post from his family said that Murphey had been “experiencing health issues over the last several years.” He was 66.
On Season 4 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, Murphey finally met his girlfriend of seven years, Lana, when he traveled to Ukraine.
The two got engaged after he popped the question at the airport, but later broke up.
Murphey subsequently appeared on the spinoff 90 Day Diaries, where he explained why the couple split.
“She thought that, ‘Well, now that we’re engaged, now you can help me do the things that you promised,’ like, get her some English lessons, actually move her into an apartment,” Murphey said. “But part of my conditions for doing that was to get her off the [dating] website and she didn’t get off the websites, so I didn’t offer any of those bonuses, so four months into our engagement, we just stopped communicating.”
Murphey was a veteran, small business owner and software engineer. He had recently retired from the Clark County Treasurer’s office in Nevada. His family’s statement says he is survived by his two sisters and his beloved cat, Gamera.
