Murray graduated from Foam Lake high school in 1985, leaving the family farm to make a life in Calgary. There, he met the woman of his dreams, Judy, his wife of 30 years. He worked at Winroc, now known as FBM for 31 years. Murray loved spending time with his family and friends, especially when they were spent camping, fishing, or barbecuing.

Messages of Condolence
I met Murray through friends while camping years ago. Not too long after I had the fortune of working with him at Winroc Drywall. We would tell each other our weekend camping and fishing stories and sometimes of the same fishing spots that we had been to. You always knew Murray was around when you heard his unique loud and infectious laugh. Although we didn't stay close after I left Winroc, when we did meet there was always discussion of some camping spot or fishing hole or a weekend spent with the families. Murray will be missed and remembered by all who had the privelige of knowing him. ~ Clint Austin
Sonia & Family, we extend our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences. May the many fond memories of Murray bring you peace and comfort. Stu and Jeannie ~ Stu & Jeannie Schaffer
Judy, Chantelle, Cole, Sonia, Harvey, Curtis, Cynthia and families, Please accept my condolence and deep sympathies on the unexpected loss of Murray - a larger than life presence, with a laugh sized to match. Although miles and years separated us I will always hold Murray's memory close as such a fantastic, all-around man. We were bonded by our love of the Riders, yet Murray was always game to discuss almost any topic and the odds were that we would end up in laughter no matter what that topic was! My wish and hope your entire family is that you are all able to honour Murray's life by coming together as one, as families do and should at times such as this, and hold tight as you share the fantastic memories of Murray to keep them all alive and well, close to your heart, through the days, months and years ahead. Sending our love from Winnipeg. ~ Trevor Buhnai

Judy, Chantelle and Cole, When I heard of Murray’s passing I was at a loss for words. The memories of parties, camping, just visiting will always hold a special place in my heart. Judy, I won’t even try to imagine what you are going through but be thankful for all the memories you can hang on to. The one thing no one can take away when we lose someone, is those. Chantelle and Cole...Losing a parent sucks, no matter how old you are. But again, the memories will always be there. Please accept my sincere sympathy and deepest condolences ~ Kellie Atchison

Dear Chantelle and Andy; Although I never met your family Chantelle; I know that your father will be sadly missed. My deepest condolences to you and the rest of your family. Sincerely Kitty ~ Christiana Larson
I grew up with Murray and the Danyluk family as we were neighbors on the farm. I was heartbroken when I heard of Murray’s death Even though it has been years since we have visited. I could see through Facebook that he was a man who loved his family and enjoyed the outdoors. Our sincere condolences to all his family and friends. We are sending our love to you all. ~ Cheryl and Rob Norgaard
Dear Judy and family, I have known Murray for most of my life. He graduated a year before me. Harvey and I went to school together. Murray was such a well liked guy on school. Haven't seen him since school but I see he was sure proud of his beautiful family. My deepest sympathy to you all. ~ Carla Sopko
Murray was a great guy and a devoted family man. We worked together for 17 years and he was a great person to work with. Always laughing and joking, we share the same sense of humour. We played ball together and he tested my ability to get through a work day with three hours sleep because “you have to have a beer after playing ball”. He will be missed very much and my heart goes out to Judy, Chantelle, Cole, and all the rest of the family. ~ Gary Kennedy
So sad to hear he left. A great guy. He will be missed. My condolences. ~ Lori andrusiak

I am sorry to hear about the loss. Murray was a great guy someone I admired and respected. My thoughts and condolences to Judy Chantel and Cole ~ Derek Coulson
Growing up your family was like a second home for me. Murray and Judy were almost like a second set of parents and Chantelle was like a sister - or at least we pretended! I know first hand how difficult it is to lose a parent and my heart breaks for all of you to lose your dad and husband so unexpectedly. I will always remember Murray as someone who always had a funny story to tell and a friend to many who will miss laughter. ~ Angela Coulson
