MURRAY: Randall “Randy” James Murray passed away on June 17, 2023, at the age of 70. After a year long battle with brain cancer, he passed away peacefully in Lloydminster Hospital with his wife and his brother at his side. Randy leaves to mourn his passing: his wife, Rhonda. his brother, Jamie and Jamie’s 4 children: Kirk (Krista) and children, Natalie, Greyson and Lexi; Lacey (Dylan) Belliveau and children, Paisley and Bristol; Clint (Ashley) and children, Grace and Elsie; Carmen (Kyle) Kimball and children, Louie and Hank. Randy’s niece, Brandy and nephew, Rob (Heather) and their children Kailee, Kacie and Brynn. He was predeceased by his parents James and Ann (Fasenko) Murray, his brother Daryl and both sisters- in-law, Evon and Sandra. Randy will be dearly missed by his cousins and his in-laws who considered him one of their own. Randy grew up on a farm near Marwayne and attended school to Grade 12 there. He started working immediately after graduating, spent 25 years at Nelson Lumber and about 20 more with Woodvale Builders. All the while continuing to farm evenings and weekends. Few could out-work Randy. His skills as a carpenter and fixer of all problems touched many lives over the years. His favorite thing to do was to have coffee at the farm or with his construction colleagues. And once all problems had been discussed then it was time to go to work! There was nothing more important to Randy than family and friends. When you think of him, remember his generosity, that willingness to help everyone and his sense of humor. Randy was salt of the earth. A much-loved son, brother, uncle, husband and friend. The Memorial Service for Randy was conducted from Grace United Church, Lloydminster, AB on Tuesday June 27, 2023, at 11:00 am with Colleen Groenen officiating.
