Murray died peacefully on June 25, 2026, in his 97th year. Left to mourn are his wife, Monica Marston MacKay, his brother, Douglas MacKay (the late Minnie) and nephews and nieces in British Columbia and Ontario. Murray was predeceased by his brother Harold MacKay and his sister-in-law Joyce.

Murray’s brother-in-law, Philip Marston, and his sister-in-law, Gail Marston, were a wonderful support as Murray’s health declined. Andrea, Jesse, Akira and Iris always brought joy with their visits. Thanks to Melanie and Paul for their continuing support.

Murray was a graduate of Queen’s University, served in the navy for ten years, and then taught math at Quebec High School until his retirement in 1992. His interests in classical music, cooking, reading and film continued to the end of his life.

A special thank you to all the caregivers at Helen Henderson Care Centre and particularly to Elvie for her compassion and support. Murray’s final days were made easier surrounded by caring people.

Cremation has already taken place. Other arrangements will be private.
