Murray passed away Monday, January 29, 2024, in Winnipeg, MB at the age of 80 years.
Murray grew up in Flin Flon, MB before moving to Brandon, MB in his early 20s. In Brandon, Murray worked at CN Rail, then Brandon Auto. He was an avid musician and played bass guitar in the Swinging Bravados before joining the popular southwestern Manitoba band, The Marksmen. In 1973, he moved back to Flin Flon, MB and worked in the Mill until his retirement in 2003. Aside from Murray’s love of music, he enjoyed fishing, camping and golf.
Murray was predeceased by his mother Enid, father Garnet, and sisters Lucille and Norma. He is survived by his daughter Shawnee (Brennan Boyko), his two cherished granddaughters, Autumn and Scarlett Boyko, sister Ethel Galbraith (Hervey), brothers Doug (Kathie) and Jamie, and many nieces and nephews.
A gathering of family and close friends will take place at a later date.
