Murjani, A Beautiful Soul and Giver

I am the youngest sister of my brother, Murjani. Although many know him as Jani (pronounced Johnny). On Dec 07, 2024 my brothers life was taken. Chris Menser, to whom my brother considered a friend chose to get behind the wheel that day after using a variety of drugs over the past 24hrs to drive himself and my brother, the passenger in that car to work. Our family does not know much about Montana. But, what we do know is my brother.

He leaves behind a mom, dad, 2 sisters, son, and 5 nieces. Montana was not his home, Texas was. He chose to move to Montana in 2018 for a fresh start in life. My brother went there with nothing, found work, purchased a camper and started a life there. He was proud of that camper, as that was the first purchase for what he could call a "home" there.

Menser met my brother through a mutual friend. At some point Menser was in need of a place to stay, so my brother extended the offer, and even helped to get him a job, the very job they were driving to that morning. Menser was his mode of transportation because he did not have a vehicle.

Dec 07, 2024 will forever be a haunting day for our family. The days following are just as worse, as we have been arranging to have his body flown back home to Texas from Montana. My brother was a giver, even if he couldn't afford to give. He was a fighter, and that day he fought hard to live, but unfortunately grew tired. After speaking with the coroner we learned:

The car accident occurred Dec 07, at 0811

EMS arrived on scene within minutes

They rendered CPR and were able to obtain a pulse

My brother coded again in the ER. They rendered CPR and pushed Epi. They were able to stabilize him.

During a CT scan my brother coded again, and it was during that code he took his last breath and the doctor called his time of death around 0940.

My brother fought, and he fought hard until he could no longer. The coroner stated she didn't know how he survived after the initial impact to the back of his head.

Anyone who knowingly get's behind the wheel under the influence and takes any life is ALWAYS at fault.

As a family, we will always take care of our family. We created this page to allow those who were either blessed to cross paths with my brother and experience his beautiful smile, his need to make people laugh, and his greatest gift of all...His heart to help in any way possible. He was a giver even if he didn't have much to give. He'd give and go without.

Thank you,
